I'll never forget the first time I heard Jamie Milam's story. It gave me chills and ignited a spark of admiration within me. Her journey of resilience, from the throes of teenage pregnancy, addiction, homelessness, and domestic abuse to the heights of entrepreneurial success, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Jamie joins us today, opening up about her life's most testing chapters, laying bare the despair, the struggle, and ultimately, the triumph. She shares her process of harnessing self-awareness that was instrumental in helping her navigate through life's choppy waters to reach the shores of peace and success. The conversation is punctuated with deep insights into how she rebuilt her life, how she embraced her trauma, and the role of self-awareness and communication in personal growth.

Her strategies for creating a fulfilling life are not just theoretical but born out of real-life experiences. They are practical and tangible, grounded in the needs and emotions of the individual. We explore these strategies, focusing on setting boundaries, understanding our worth, and acknowledging our emotions - all powerful tools in shaping a fulfilling and balanced life. Jamie's story is a testament to human resilience and the extraordinary potential of self-awareness. It's not just a story of survival, but a tale of a woman who, despite all odds, continues to thrive.

About Jamie: 

On her own at the age of 15 and overcoming drug addiction when she learned she'd become a mother at 19, Jamie lived a self-reliant life, filled with pressure to build a better life for her

and her son. Her figure-it-out mentality helped her rebuild her life from a single Rubbermaid tote and went on to build 3 businesses that she runs today.

She learned that strategic systems were instrumental in her financial success but it was learning to practice deep self-awareness that allowed her to genuinely break free from pressure and value herself so deeply so she could navigate challenges with feelings of peace and align her strategies with her true self. Now she utilizes this powerful tool in all areas of her life and is on a mission to help others do the same.
