After a decade of working in the entertainment industry, Jourdan Guyton needed a change. She was tired with the roles she was presented with and decided to take matters into her own hands. With that she and a friend created their own web series, which they sold to a major network in 2019.

But when production halted suddenly for the pandemic, Jourdan was at a loss. For the first time, she was collecting unemployment and didn’t know what was next.

It’s then when she dived into the world of online business and started helping others through the power of transformation. And what started out as an idea and a single person group coaching program became a six-figure business.

“I really believe I started my business to impact as many people as I can.”
