Feeling the pull for something more but not sure what that “more” is?
This free Self-Coaching Guide will help you pause, check in, and get crystal clear on whether it’s time to stay where you are, make a shift, or finally launch that idea that’s been calling you.
Inside, you’ll:
I’m Jackie Heard—a proud Gen-X professional, veteran, and entrepreneur who has lived through the highs and lows of change. From nearly four decades in healthcare as a surgical technologist to navigating the housing crash of 2008, the upheaval of 2020, and the rise of AI, I’ve experienced first-hand how fast the world shifts beneath us.
For years, I followed the old script of job security: show up, work hard, retire safe. But that script no longer fit the world we live in. I had to write a new one—a script that put me in control of my vision, my voice, and my future. That’s how I became a coach, author, and speaker dedicated to helping others step into their own power.
Through my Thrive Framework and my brand, Side Hustle CEO Coaching, I guide professionals who feel stuck in their 9-to-5 into clarity, confidence, and control. My coaching doesn’t just build businesses—it builds people. Because before you can launch like a CEO, you have to think, feel, and see yourself as one.
My mission is simple: to spark bold transformation. Whether you’re in healthcare, corporate, or ready to reclaim your next chapter, I want to challenge the old mindset, amplify your hidden gifts, and show you how to thrive in work, wealth, and life.
This isn’t about hustling harder—it’s about becoming the person your future requires.
I help career professionals, just like myself, gain clarity and redefine themselves to confidently shift from employee to entrepreneur.
To help professionals reframe their mindset, embrace change, and confidently transition from employee to entrepreneur on their terms. We believes that success isn’t about starting from scratch but about recognizing the power of the skills, experiences, and knowledge you already possess. Through her Thrive Framework, she helps clients unlock their full potential, take bold action, and create a life of purpose, time freedom, and financial security.
Ask a Question!I’m Gen-X, which means I grew up when job security was everything—until it wasn’t. From the dot-com bust to the 2008 housing crash to the pandemic, I’ve lived through the moments that shook careers and forced us to rethink everything.
This book is my story of breaking free from the old script and stepping into entrepreneurship with clarity and confidence. It’s not hype, it’s not theory—it’s real talk about what it takes to stop living stuck and start leading your life like a CEO.
If you’re ready for a raw, honest perspective on the shift from employee to empowered entrepreneur, this book is for you.
