A little about me.
Hi, I’m Jackie Goodman—Lifestyle Coach and author of the Lawyer to Lifestyle™ blog.
If you’ve come across my website, jackiegoodman.co.uk, you’ll know about my work helping professionals and businesses create more balanced, fulfilling lives (and if you haven’t, I’d love to see you over there! 😊). In contrast, here on the blog, I get real and personal – sharing my journey from lawyer to lifestyle™.
As you probably guessed from the blog name, I’m a lawyer!
I qualified as a solicitor in 1991 (feels like a lifetime ago! 😅). While I was outwardly successful, the long hours, relentless pressure of the corporate world, and lack of control over my time left me feeling trapped. What I truly craved wasn’t just success, but balance—a way to thrive in my work without it taking over my life.
In 2009, I made a bold decision to change my lifestyle and regain control over how I spent my time. What started as a practical move turned into a deeper journey of learning how to create a life of time-freedom, fulfilment, and intentional success. ✨
I went from Lawyer to Lifestyle™ – and absolutely LOVE the success and sense of freedom this brings – I feel truly blessed every single day!
Driven by the knowledge that countless professionals and entrepreneurs struggle to find balance while thriving in high-pressure environments, I am deeply committed to helping them achieve both.
Through my consultancy work, I now support individuals, business owners, and organisations in creating workplaces that prioritise well-being—something I wish had been available to me back when I needed it most. ❤️
If you’re wondering how I made it happen, read on. I’ll reveal how I broke free from the ‘cycle of endless busyness’ and built a thriving, balanced life on my own terms and how, through this journey, I discovered the art of achieving success without burnout.
