Jackie Doing Jackie — Life in New Shoes

A story of starting over, rediscovering joy, and walking boldly into what’s next.

Welcome to Jackie Doing Jackie

Life didn’t go quite the way I planned, so I decided to take a different path — one that’s mine. Jackie Doing Jackie is about taking that next step, even when it’s scary, and finding joy in the process. If you’ve ever had to start over, I hope my stories remind you that you’re not alone — and that new shoes can take you somewhere beautiful.

Adventures & Reflections

Jackie Doing Jackie

"Sometimes life doesn’t fall apart - it rearranges itself. Quietly. Unexpectedly. In ways you don’t fully understand until you’re already standing in something new. This space was created for moments like that."

The Day it Began

“I was blindsided — not just because of Paris, but because the ‘forever’ I believed in wasn’t actually mine anymore.”

“Your story might look different from mine, but it’s never too late to start writing your next chapter.”
