Today we’d like to introduce you to Angelique Jackson.
Angelique, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Prior to 2012, I felt like I had everything: a good job in the beauty industry, a company car, a 6 figure income, love, friendships, college education, etc… However, in 2012, my life took a dramatic change. I was in a car accident, which brought to light a diagnosis of having multiple uterine fibroids ranging in size from a lime to the size of a grapefruit and learning I had cervical cancer. To top off the domino effect I was downsized from my job leaving me with no medical insurance, no car, depleting my savings to pay for medical treatments resulting in having to move my family and I out of our 3,500 sq ft home, sell off furniture and put the basics into storage. I had to make so many extremely difficult decisions regarding my health and providing for my family, as I had to undergo a couple of medical procedures and a year of radiation treatment to fight the growth and spread of the cancer (for which I did). My hair, skin and body changed/took a toll as I was losing weight, breaking out and hair thinning. I felt so lost (physically, mentally and emotionally), scared and abandoned during this time as I began to lose people I thought were friends, lost faith, experience heartbreak, lost confidence and love of self and of hope. I was truly tested and tried on every level imaginable. However, the awakening happened.
But, just when I was ready to completely throw my hands up in defeat, our Divine Creator said no you are NOT giving up, you will NOT through in the towel…. YOU WILL STAND TALL and continue to WALK IN YOUR DIVINE GREATNESS. Therefore, I listened and picked myself up by starting my journey back to my true self, back to my beliefs and my spiritual balance. I began meditating daily, writing in my gratitude journal, being aligned in the energy of thankfulness and gratefulness, refocusing my energy into my skills, my knowledge, my gifts and so much more…then shifting my mindset from the negative thoughts that had clouded my mind to that of positivity, belief and unbreakable confidence in my divine gifts and purpose.
Therefore, after nearly a year of combating numerous trials (illness, homelessness, unemployment, loss, miscarriage, financial instability, doubt, etc.) everything began to shift in my life: I was offered a position with Argosy University August of 2013. In 2014 after a few months of working for Argosy, I began earning my second master’s degree in Forensic Psychology for which I graduated with honors in 2015, and my kids and I were able to move back into our own home. To date, I have been in remission for the past several years. Although I was extremely grateful for the position I had, I never truly felt fulfilled. I felt a void that I was not getting working a 9-5.
However, through this journey, the trials did not stop, as I had to undergo yet another medical procedure (A Total Abdominal Hysterectomy in 2017 that removed 14 fibroid tumors) but what was different this time around was my mindset and belief did not waiver. I continued practicing the foundational principles of the law of attraction, morning rituals, daily meditation, giving thanks to our ancestors, journaling, visioning and changing my diet to a completely Plant-Based diet (Vegan). You see during those difficult times when I thought I lost everything; when I thought I was losing my faith and belief I was actually being aligned with my higher self and reminded who I was put on this earth to be. I was guided to something greater and more amazing. My faith and belief was not only strengthened but also fully awakened. This journey has humbled me to not take my life for granted…as a result I was shown not only how abundant the Universe really is but shown my life’s gifts and purpose in this lifetime. After meditating one morning the downloads I received were flowing. I could not stop writing the vision for my life. It was in this time I knew without a doubt what I was meant to do. I formed my company, became a certified Life Coach, created my website and I started focusing on a more Holistic Lifestyle which I incorporate into my business.
That is why at the end of 2017, I stepped out on faith and started my journey as a Life Alchemist, Holistic Wellness and Executive Coach, Author, International Motivational Speaker and Energy (Crystals and Sound) Healing Practitioner by starting my organization Be-L’evated, LLC. An organization dedicated to lifting and elevating the lives of others through so that not only can they walk in their divine purpose and greatness, but also they can Live Their Life Limitlessly. I was led by spirit to not only help women heal but to empower them to live life magically, powerfully, authentically and abundantly. I live and educate on the benefits of a Plant-Based lifestyle. When I started my journey as a Certified Life Coach it shifted as I realized my clients needed more spiritual guidance and healing in order to truly transform their lives. Therefore, I immersed myself in various healing modalities as a Certified Reiki Practitioner, Certified Crystal Healer, Sound Bowl/Sound Therapy, Essential Oils/Flower Essences, and intuitive Oracle Card to enhance her natural healing abilities.
To date, I have created educational, developmental and enrichment curriculum for Corporations, Beauty Training Programs, Private Charter Schools and University & Colleges. I have used my unique background from the corporate world and merged it with holistic wellness and healing modalities to design programming for enriching, empowering, inspiring, and motivating women to use their unique gifts and purpose to reach within themselves to become the greatest version of themselves possible. It is my intention to help women move beyond their barriers, obstacles and fears to live abundantly within their greatness, I have facilitated interactive training, workshops, conferences, sacred goddess circles, crystal healing, chakra and energy balancing, sound baths and sacred hiking excursions to diverse communities that have empowered those in attendance to live life limitless.
I incorporate these healing modalities in my one on one work with clients, my speaking engagements, my digital courses and in the facilitation of numerous healing and inspiring personal development Workshops/Events which incorporates elements of journaling, life visioning, goal settings, self-care, connecting to divine feminine InnerG, sensuality, spiritual insight, daily and spiritual rituals, holistic wellness teachings, energy healing modalities and manifesting. It is in her life’s purpose she shares her gifts so that all women can live a life of their own divine design.
In addition, I have been both the keynote and guest speaker for speaking engagements at High Schools, Universities, Community Organizations, Fraternal Organizations, Workforce Centers, US Military Branches, Corporate and Women Empowerment Conferences and special events.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
As you can image, stepping out to run your own business full time comes with its fair share of challenges. The most challenging part of starting my business was coming into full alignment with my purpose, vision, intention and my intrinsic why. In addition to how to shift my thinking in getting started as a full-time entrepreneur from that of an employee. Not everyone thinks about making that mental shift because the mindset to run a business is very different from that of being a full-time employee.
Your mindset is the biggest factor/obstacle to becoming a successful entrepreneur. There are several mindset shifts I had to take in order to be an entrepreneur. The first thing is to shift your mindset from an employee mentality to an entrepreneur mentality. As an employee, you have defined set tasks/roles whereas being an entrepreneur means honing in on various skills and focusing on the bigger picture. As an entrepreneur you own the outcome not the task. Simply, it means is that when you are an employee you know that someone else is bringing in the business and all you have to do is adhere to your position’s job description. However, as an entrepreneur you have to shift away from that mindset to start thinking like the boss, the owner and start thinking in terms of how you will attain customers, how you will bring in the business necessary to grow and prosper.
Shifting your mindset is a spiritual and emotional transformation because it challenges your old established way of thinking to a new way scary yet ground-breaking way of thinking. It’s letting go of the belief of relying on recognition and accolades of the company, the boss and your co-workers and relying on a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly paycheck. Being an entrepreneur means shifting your mind to being ready to take the plunge into a world of not only trusting yourself to be successful, but in trusting the process, uncertainty, being in alignment with the risk, and being comfortable with being uncomfortable. By understanding that yes it is scary, yes you will have fear but shifting your mindset to saying I am going to let my fear fuel me and use that energy to catapult me to success.
Moreover, taking each challenge as stepping stones on which I laid my foundation and transformed them into some of the greatest lessons for my growth and success. Although I have a degree in Marketing and an MBA I was still unprepared for the hurdles that comes with running a business until I made that initial mindset shift which cracked the door wide open to truly running my business. And through my passion, unbreakable belief in my divine purpose, my vision, my determination, my tenacity and my resourcefulness I was able to persevere and make it happen.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Be-L’evated story. Tell us more about the business.

I’ve been established in my business full time since 2017 and I give thanks everyday for my gifts, my clients, my journey in life and my community for which I am humbly and eternally grateful.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I do not believe in good or bad luck. “Luck” is simply when preparation meets opportunity paired with taking action. I do what I can to stay prepared in my business by continuing to sharpen my toolbox, networking, being on top of my game, staying focused and humbled, being in a constant state of alignment and flow to move so that when opportunity presents itself, I can take action on it and manifest that which I desire. Even if I am not fully prepared when opportunity presents itself, as long as I take action I elevate upward. The same is true if you are prepared but stay stagnant by not moving on the opportunity presented then you will go nowhere. In essence, luck does not play a role in my life or my business. I am in control of my destiny to move forward or stay still. I choose to move forward always, even if I fall, stumble or fail…I am going to fall, stumble and fail forward to success.
