This program addresses the root causes of fear in a way that challenges you personally. It doesn’t coddle you, it empowers you by challenging you to act. It will be a personal reference for my life for years to come. – Robert Stephens, New York

As I have had a number of big life challenges over the last few months, this program has allowed me to see the value within myself and develop a new confidence based on that value. I have said things I would not have previously, and asked for support in ways I had not. I am better able to set up boundaries than before. – Belinda Johnston, Sacramento, California

I was hesitant to participate in this program at first. I think I was afraid of Jacqueline! I have an associate who recommended her so highly and she said I would be crazy not to participate, so I did. Ironically, my FEAR of what was to come was all in my head. That is the bottom line! As each week’s assignment was completed, I dug deeper into my fear. It felt like shedding unnecessary skin! I began to look forward to each assignment- the discovery of myself and the ability to look at things differently. Jacqueline, by the way is nothing to fear. She is a kind, vivacious and very wise woman who wants nothing more for her clients than for them to be happy and strong! I learned so much about how to change my life by changing my outlook. I feel stronger and more optimistic thanks to Jacqueline Wales! – Julie Garcia, Sacramento, California

I found this program easy to use. It has made me more aware of myself and has shown me that the past does not have to run my life. I have learnt that I can change and can use the abilities I have to improve my life and to help others. – Karen Allen, England

My greatest change did not come till week 11! Up until than I felt I was really in the game. Well, when the exercises came from week 11 what an eye opener. If what I answered as my truth was staring me in the face why was I not living it daily! Totally brought to heart and mind just where I needed to shift my thinking 24 x 7 for the rest of my entire LIFE! Thank you so very much Jacqueline for stepping up to the plate and delivering to the rest of us the goods needed to live a Totally Fearless life!

Her exercises are concise and insightful and her counseling is always targeted to your needs. This will not be a waste of your time!! – Valerie Peters, New York

Doing this program with Jacqueline and the inspiring group of woman each week was beneficial to me as it gave me the non-judgmental support and encouragement to move forward. While they have been baby steps for me…there were several relationships that I have been able to walk away from and start doing what is best for me. Maybe since some of us did not know each other on the conference calls it was easier to share with people who were going through similar situations and were not judgmental. The group conference calls were something I looked forward to and the weekly lessons were both inspirational and gave me a lot to reflect on. After reflecting on several occasions I took action, made changes and live with the results. – Nancy Ferrara, New York

A tremendous, life-renewing, experience. The Fearless Factor training has spurred me into profitable action to work out some of the major bugs in my life. Within a matter of months I have reclaimed my time, focus, and life. I enjoy a greater sense of peace, and inner freedom. This was the synchronous, next step in my life’s journey. I’m grateful. – Carlene Grimshaw, Queensland, Australia

I really reflected in my life what wasn’t working. I needed to lose weight, I needed to have more purpose in my work, not just want a better job but what actions l needed to take to make this happen. I had to expect more from myself and then project this outwardly. This program helped my focus on what I wanted to do in my life. – Adriana DiGioia, New York

I’m calmer, more focused and have a clearer idea of what is important to me. - Karen Sue Rositske, New York

Throughout my entire life, I felt that I was meant to make a difference in the world, but always felt I was not living my best life. I’ve always spent so much energy wanting to have breakthroughs in areas in which I struggled, but did not know what held me back. Going through this intense and comprehensive program challenged me to find out why often fear had paralyzed me and stopped me achieving my goals and dreams.

There are so many valuable tangible, specific tools and exercises that were extremely empowering as I worked through them. It’s not enough to know why something has happened to stop me in my tracks; its about finding solutions that help me work through the fear that is a part of life and embrace all of me, the “good” and “bad”. I think a key component of this program is the accountability of weekly assignments that allowed me to make the changes throughout the course of the program, yet keep me accountable to complete the program. The weekly teleconference was such an important element. I was able to get further clarity during the teleconference of the exercises I completed the week prior, which lead to further breakthroughs and “ah-ha’s”.

One of the reasons I decided to take this program is I wanted to achieve a promotion by the end of the year, with a direct sells company I am a part of. I am happy to say I received that promotion in November. There is no magic formula, but and I believe my commitment to doing the work needed to complete the program was a big reason I was able to reach my goal and achieve the promotion. I am so happy I was given the opportunity to participate in this fantastic program. Thank you Jacqueline Wales, for all you put into designing such a life-changing process. – Andria Black, Sacramento

Working with Jacqueline was like taking a walk in fresh air. Her direct, no nonsense manner dived right down into the heart of my issues and allowed me to develop new insights and strategies that have helped me move towards my dream of starting my own business (finding employment in midlife), strengthening my relationship, feeling more confident. – Michelle Bennett, Tacoma, Washington

When I called Jacqueline for my first appointment, I was struck by how insightful she was right away about what was keeping me stuck. Within the first session she gave me strategies I could use that changed how I approached things, and over the following weeks, I was able to solidify her advice and techniques and began to feel confident and capable as I tackle the challenges that come up at work and at home. – Pauline Stratton, San Francisco

Change isn’t easy, and I’ve avoided looking at my problems for a long time. Even after ten years of therapy, I couldn’t end my relationship and kept hanging on which was bad for both of us. Within three weeks of working with Jacqueline, and reading her book, I was able to call it quits and I’m now on the way to a healthy divorce, where everyone feels heard and seen, and we are dealing with it like adults. The time spent with Jacqueline was a miracle for me. She literally helped me to break free of the chains that I was bound up in. – Ardela Daniels, Atlanta

I have always been a worrier, but a few hours with Jacqueline, the warrior, made it clear that most of the stuff in my brain was my imagination on overdrive. I’m so happy to have that over and done with, and now I only worry a few times a week instead of all the time. – Jesseca Turner, Princeton

Procrastination is my problem. I always wait until the last minute to get things done, and frequently they don’t get done at all. Setting goals was my priority when I began work with Jacqueline, and she helped me by developing time-management strategies that made it much easier to achieve the results I wanted. My business is now running more smoothly as a result of the confidence I developed that I could handle whatever comes my way with a little planning and foresight. – Mary Ballinger, Louisville

I have spent the greater part of my life struggling with negative self-talk. I don’t need someone to tell me how bad I’ve been, I can do it all on my own. That’s why it was such a relief to work with Jacqueline to help me understand the voice in my head and start changing the way I spoke to myself. I learned compassion and I also learned forgiveness so that I could learn how to love myself better. – Grace Johnson, Chicago

Many of us in our fifties and early sixties have begun to ask what happened to our passion for life. When I found Jacqueline’s “Fearless Fifties” practice.

I am asked to read quite a few books, and I always tell the authors my honest opinion (otherwise, why bother?) and I only review books that I love for my site and for Kalon Women magazine. Well, yours is truly terrific. Although some of the information is familiar, it’s not the same old stuff mainly because you infuse it with your own story. The authentic sharing of your own experience (and that of other real women), your own terrors, struggles, and insights into how you broke through and are creating the life of your dreams is very powerful stuff. – Paula Russell, Paula’s Book Talk

What will happen though is that your attitude may change and you may see things from a different perspective, one of coming from a positive and accepting place.
