About Me!

My name is Jessica Carbajal and I am a Certified Life Coach. I am excited to be able to help others along in their journey of life. I was born and raised in New Jersey by two migrant parents and grew up in a trilingual household, speaking English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I have a B.A. in marketing/sociology and worked in NYC for seven years after graduating. I Became a 1st-time mom in 2017 and decided to become a stay home mom for a year and loved it! After a while, I felt incomplete, like something was missing. I couldn’t find what exactly it was, But I knew it wasn’t a 9 to 5. I was looking for a balance between being a mom and working. After months and months of trying to find what that new career was. I realized I was practicing it every day, Which was yoga! I took yoga after I had the baby to help me with many changes in my life after my son. My yoga teacher asked if I was interested in pursuing it and becoming a teacher. I took the course, fell in love, and became certified. I started teaching right away, but again something was missing. The missing part was that I wanted to work, but I knew my vision of precisely what I wanted to do was unclear. I always thought of being my own boss one day but never knew when? Who knew now was the time? One year after being certified, I opened up my own yoga studio and made my own hours. I finally felt that the void that I had was complete. I could be a mom, bring my child to work if I wanted, and work the best hours for me. A year later, I felt great helping others physically and mentally. Then my son was diagnosed with autism. I felt helpless, defeated, and back to where I started. I didn’t wait any time this time and decided to help myself, my son, and my family. I joined support groups, attended conferences, met other moms, and discussed my problems. Once I got involved, I found my passion for helping others. Instead of physically now, it was vocal! I was always told and felt like helping others was a passion of mine. So I started researching how I could help others in my area of expertise which led me to where I am now, life coaching. By reframing my mindset and strategy toward life, I accomplished numerous things, such as becoming a successful business owner while managing being a mother of 2 and a wife. Now in this next chapter of my life, I desire to open up about what I have experienced and learn to provide direction to those who have similar attributes as me. I want to help you recognize that what’s for you already has your name on it; you just have to claim it!
