- Elizabeth Cassidy, New Jersey

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

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

Jacqueline helped me find my fearless self, and realize that I am an important member of my family. I now think about what is good for me, as well as everyone else, and not feel guilty about it. With her encouragement I have accomplished goals I never thought possible.
- Andrea Zweibel, Boston

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. It helped me to recognize my own strengths and to identify what inspires me at this point in my life in order to regain my P.A.S.S.l.O.N. for living.
- Vickye Stephens, San Francisco

I am very appreciative for the time I worked with Jacqueline as she was a delighful source of inspiration and support. I found her to be very professional as well as creative and thoughtful in providing me with ideas and suggestions about ways in which I could bring change to my life. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a supportive hand in making changes in their life.
- Gabi Yetter, Boston

I am of the age in life where it is clearer than ever before that we have a choice every day to make a life of love or to live a life of fear. Once you really believe that life is a choice and you have options, every day those choices lead you down your path. Jacqueline teaches you how to do that.
- Annie Teich, North Carolina

Jacqueline is forever dynamic, positive, forward thinking and inspired and reminds us that we can re-envision ourselves in the second half of our lives to be better than ever. I have known Jacqueline since the inception of Fearless Fifties and now The Fearless Factor, and I am constantly amazed at the passion and energy she has fueled this project with. She fully embodies the qualities she hopes to infuse others with. She is a joy and inspiration!

Jacqueline brings a warmth, an energy, and a fearless passion for her work that made my time with her some of the best I’ve ever spent! She is definitely the “go-to” gal for tips and guidance on fearless living.
- Jenifer Madsen, Wisconsin

Jacqueline is a tour de force in empowering women to face the challenges and opportunities of aging–gracefully, or not. It is only fear itself that we are afraid of, she reminds us. May she continue to break new ground for opening minds and sustaining bodies without fear, to enjoy the hell out of this last exhilirating ascent of our lives.

- Linda Rivero, Washington DC

Jacqueline’s insights are helpful and humorous, and her personal experiences are moving and courageous. I came to understand and love my mother more, and hearing all these successful women’s experiences I learned, understood, and became more courageous and honest with myself!
- Ingrid Saxon, New York

I find myself constantly, sometimes even daily, referring back to my insights that Jacqueline helped me understand. She might say I was a tough case—I always seemed to have an answer for her questions, but once I opened myself to the process each week (sometimes halfway through our conversations!) I learned so very much.
- Lauri Zell, Maryland

I tend to work too much and this has helped me focus on putting a plan in place to work smarter not harder. It was fun and great to work with Jacqueline and I intend to evaluate my plan every 30 days to see what progress I have made and where I need to course correct.
- Darcy Bevalaqua, White Horse, New York

Jacqueline is an amazing listener who quickly, and sometimes ruthlessly, separates the wheat from the chafe to help her clients move ahead. Hers is a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to coaching, and life enrichment and change. She approaches her own life as a series of creative challenges and invites her clients to look beyond the obvious, to plumb their own creative energies and discover what resonates for them.

Jacqueline tells it like it is! Her no-nonsense, yet encouraging approach to coaching really opened my eyes to how my fearful, negative thinking is sabotaging my life. She’s one of the few people that’s been really direct and rigorously honest with me; it was everything I needed to hear! Since meeting with her, I’ve been kinder and gentler to myself and more excited about my future. Jacqueline’s fearlessness is contagious!
- Norma Grove, Creative Director/Writer

Jacqueline comes from a place of great integrity and is very gentle and supportive while still being no-nonsense and direct in calling you on your excuses. She is clearly passionate about helping others move beyond their fears and limitations and make great strides in becoming who they want to be. She helped me create action plans and lock in new habits from new and healthier ways of thinking. Jacqueline is a breath of fresh air and I’d recommend her to anyone who is ready to do the work to make their life more joyful and successful.

- Rita VanderVen, AWBC Member services

Talking with Jacqueline is like talking with a dear old friend. You skip the small stuff and get right to the important heart-and-soul connection, where the meaning resides. She is curious, attentive, and tuned-in, and our conversation about writing reminded me how much I really love to do it! I admire Jacqueline for her fearless approach to the fifties, and knowing that she walks the talk is inspirational to the max. I recommend a good yak with Jacqueline, but if that’s not on the program, tune in to her talks with others and get a conversational adrenaline rush!
