✨ Unbreakable Spirit ✨
Featuring Jaque Hanson's Transformational Chapter
“Pain Was the Midwife, Spirit Was the Medicine”
The essence of Jaque Hanson’s chapter in the Unbreakable Spirit book is infused with hope, self-discovery, and the awakening of Inner Landscapes. It traces a journey from fear to faith ~ where intuition becomes a guiding light and the heart’s wisdom takes center stage. Through this profound unfolding, Jaque learns to trust the sacred scalpel within ~ precise and unrelenting ~ cutting away layers of doubt, self-judgment, people-pleasing, and the paralysis of freeze.
As she begins to believe in herself and in the power that lies within, old walls collapse in unison. The collapse doesn’t signal destruction ~ it signals rebirth. Life is no longer the same. A new potential rises from the ashes, one the mind alone could never foresee. It is the heart that perceives and births the unimaginable.
True courage doesn’t feel courageous. It is forged in the fire where passion and desire meet the will to change. In that alchemical moment, something extraordinary happens: fear is transmuted into power, limitation into embodiment. The result? A life transformed ~ beyond the beyond!
Jaque has been meticulously weaving inner wisdom into her outer world ever since her spiritual awakening. In these pages, she demonstrates the rawness and grace required to stay humble, curious, and open. Embracing a beginner’s mindset has become central to her journey ~ fostering adaptability, growth, and the capacity to meet life with greater resilience. Through her work, she teaches others to embody this level of vulnerability and humility ~ guiding those ready to dig deep into themselves to uncover the strength, softness, and truth that’s been waiting all along.
With this chapter, Jaque offers more than her story ~ she offers a lifeline. Her intention is to ignite hope, determination, and empowerment for those navigating the dark waters of suicide attempts, drug addiction, and mental illness ~ whether they are personally struggling or are parents of those who are. This is an offering of possibility: that healing is real, transformation is possible, and the sacred path home begins within.
It has been both humbling and an honor to be guided by Laura Cornell, who brilliantly led this phenomenal group of women to express themselves through deep listening, effective spiritual practices, intelligent and practical business tools, and a huge heart. Laura attracted women of fiber ~ filled with insight, courage, and grit. The friendships formed in this group have been a delight and a gift. Jaque learned many viable techniques that continue to create an effective and time-saving workflow ~ benefiting her business, her students, her clients, and herself personally. It has been a true blessing to participate in this program with Laura.
Composing this chapter and going through the editing process was very challenging and cathartic at the same time. Reliving the details of these transformational life events has been a priceless opportunity to reassess, review, deeply heal, and most importantly, realize the gifts that are now paying forward ~ pouring the overflow toward all those around Jaque. She hopes that this book, and her chapter, will inspire, stir people’s hearts, and allow them to see what is possible in their own lives.
What an honor and complete delicious Delight to bee with these women, in this sacred Lion’s Gate!! Check out the masterfuly guided interview with Becky Norwood from Spotlight Publishing, Julie Norman & Rachel Chase, Livestreamed on Friday 8/8/2025!
