Born in Florida but my heart always wanted to live somewhere that actually had a winter season so I moved out here in 2015. After graduating college, serving in the Navy, and moving out West I worked for a retirement planning company for 7 years only to realize I really didn't like working for someone else. So, in 2022 I left that company and became an Independent Agent. Since then, my life has been a whirlwind of community engagement, networking events, marketing opportunities and creating a real name for myself that means something.

My Branch Office Administrator, Paula Murray, and I help successful professionals with making the most out of your life with your money.

We're very involved in our clients lives and we want to see everyone we partner with to find success, not only monetarily, but within their lives.

We're happy to talk through any questions you may have. 

As a leadership consultant serving small business owners in the Denver area, I specialize in helping companies bring out the best in their people. My focus is on strengthening the connection between staff and leadership—creating workplaces where engagement, purpose, and performance thrive together.

With a background in education and school administration, I understand the importance of creating systems that support both individual and organizational growth. I co-authored Schools That Deliver with my colleague John Edwards, a book rooted in the belief that people—when empowered and aligned—can drive a lasting transformation.

Today, I bring that same philosophy to businesses, offering practical, evidence-based strategies that energize staff, build leadership capacity, and foster cultures of respect and results. Whether guiding professional development, supporting leadership teams, or facilitating change, my goal is always the same: to create organizations with HEART—where people are honored, values are clear, and results follow.

Clients appreciate my storytelling style, deep listening, and ability to create safe, growth-oriented spaces. I meet teams where they are, helping them reconnect with their purpose and move forward with clarity, confidence, and renewed motivation.

Whether your team is struggling with communication, accountability, or burnout, I help you identify what’s not working and offer practical tools that actually fit your day-to-day reality. No fluff, no theory overload, straightforward strategies that get people re-engaged and working better together.

Let’s build a workplace where people thrive—and the business does too.

Jackie was a business consultant for years, taking companies and building them up and making them successful. She even ran her own consulting firm, Jackie Meyer Consulting, and was doing rather well for herself.

Then, one day, she was — quite literally, and metaphorically as well — struck by a need for change.

After an accident that left her unable to work, she struggled to find something that fulfilled her as much as helping others did. And then she realized, she could still help others, just in a different way.

Jackie has done Shamanic and intuitive readings for people for the last 20 years, for both personal and business decisions. After the accident, she decided to take tarot lessons from Denver-based, internationally-known Psychic Reader and Medium Rick Finbow, so she could expand her Psychic abilities and use her 40+ years of skills and experiences to continue to help people.

Even during her time being a business consultant, Jackie felt the call to spirituality. She was sent to Lima, Peru to reorganize an entire call center of 62 people and increase their productivity. Using her natural and trained intuition, she formulated three questions that have since continued to guide her through her journey since then: 

What do you like about your job?

What do you not like about your job?

What would you like to see changed?

Jackie has learned that by asking these 3 questions, people feel heard and appreciated.

Jackie’s always had a talent for helping people reach their fullest potential, through intuition and guidance.

What groups/meetings/councils are you involved with?
I am a Chamber Ambassador, member of Inspiring Women, Arvada Business Collective, Tuesday Networking Lunch Group, West Metro Construction Alliance, Badass Woman of Arvada 2022

In 2021, I was a 25 year Corporate America veteran who turned entrepreneur when I opened WOW 1 DAY PAINTING. I have been married to my husband for 25 years, and I have a grown daughter that is a heavy duty diesel mechanic.  All the animals I have, have all been the scratch and dents at the rescues we have adopted from, and we always try to adopt the animal who is the hardest to adopt/been there the longest. I love my family/animals, whiskey, handbags, and vinyl, in that order.

My mission is to embrace the fun dance of life — and invite others to join me in making every step meaningful and enjoyable.
