What Do You Want?
You’re the kind of woman with a big heart who wants to create freedom. You’re driven by purpose and passion. You know money is a necessity and can help buy that freedom, but you’re not entirely driven by it because freedom means a lot more than dollar signs. If this speaks to you, you’re my kind of gal.
I’m passionate about women achieving their version of freedom—whatever that means to them. I help women gain the security of a sustainable/growing business supported by an unwavering mindset that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
I also want to redefine luxury because while luxury is undoubtedly being able to afford the finer things in life, luxury is the peace that comes with knowing we can provide for ourselves and our loved ones regardless of what life throws our way.
The Story
The Green Dress Project is what happens when a slightly quirky, middle-aged woman decides to stop playing the damsel in distress, take control, and manifest the business and life she deserves.
The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough
In the summer of 2017, my marriage took a nosedive—and to be honest, it had been in a slow, painful descent for years. We were both carrying baggage that neither of us knew how to unpack, and despite my efforts to reconnect, the distance only grew. Then, one day in August, he told me he was leaving for good.
And just like that, my world crumbled.
I walked around in a fog, barely recognizing myself, because in the blink of an eye, the story I had spent years writing had disappeared.
I was no longer a wife.
No longer part of a “traditional” family unit.
I was about to be a divorced woman and a single mom—two labels I never thought would apply to me.
Until that moment, my life had been a carefully curated checklist of achievements:
- High school graduation
- College Graduation with honors
- Full - time employment
- Married
- Kids
And suddenly, without those boxes to check, I felt completely exposed—like I had somehow failed at the game of life.
Enter Stage Right: The Green Dress
A few weeks later, still drowning in grief and PTSD, I took my daughter to NYC for my preplanned 40th birthday trip. I didn’t want to go (honestly, I just wanted to curl up in bed and disappear), but I also didn’t want to disappoint her.
While walking through SoHo, I spotted a Mango store—a brand I adored when I lived in Paris in 1998. Seeing it sparked something in me.
Excitement. Nostalgia. A flicker of… me.
We went inside, and almost immediately, I spotted this green dress in the window. It was fun and effortless—everything I didn’t feel at the time. My self-love was at an all-time low, and my body was nowhere near where I wanted it to be, but I made a decision:
This dress would be my inspiration.
I told myself, One day, I’m going to wear that dress. One day, I’m going to feel powerful, beautiful, and whole again. One day, I’m going to be Jackie 2.0.
It was my own Pretty Woman moment.
The Journey to Becoming Her
Like most big ideas, life took over, and that dress got buried in my closet while I struggled through a new reality—single mom, two businesses, and a whole lot of WTH-am-I-doing energy.
A year later, I was still stuck. I knew I couldn’t stay there.
So I threw myself into healing—coaches, mentors, therapy, energy work, all of it. I wasn’t looking for quick fixes. I just wanted to feel lighter, freer, like myself again.
And little by little, things got better.
Was it a straight line to success? Hell no. There were bumps, some massive breakdowns, and ugly cries in my car. But I kept going
Then, months later, as I packed up to move into my new home, I found that green dress.
And suddenly, I realized—it had never been about the dress.
What The Green Dress Really Meant
It wasn’t about looking “perfect”.
It wasn’t even about “arriving” at some perfect future version of myself.
It was about knowing when you’ve outgrown a version of yourself and being brave enough to step into the one that actually fits.
The green dress still hangs in my closet, but now, I see it differently. It’s not a goalpost or a finish line. It’s a reminder:
- That I don’t have to shrink to fit a version of me that no longer exists.
- That real transformation isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about embracing who I’ve been all along.
- That I can always, no matter what life tosses my way, manifest magic.
And now, I help other women do the same.
If you’re done trying to squeeze yourself into a life, business, or identity that no longer fits – welcome.
Now let’s find your green dress.
xoxo,
Jackie
Ready for real results you can see & feel?
The Green Dress Project isn’t about empty motivation or vague advice you’ll ditch the next time life throws you in the ocean without a raft. It’s about real, lasting transformation—shifting your core beliefs, your identity, and your business so you can manifest everything you desire in life.
We get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck, uncover the strengths you’ve probably been overlooking, and create a path that actually fits and feels good—no more forcing yourself into strategies that don’t align. Because when you rewrite the story you tell yourself, you change the story your business tells the world—and that’s when the dreams you once thought were impossible start becoming your reality. If you’re ready for that shift, let’s make it happen.
