We had the good fortune of connecting with Jeannie Jacobs and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jeannie, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
My name is Jeannie Jacobs, and I am the heart and soul behind Just Jeannie, a brand that many of you might resonate with on your personal journeys. Today, I want to share the story of how this dream was born, a tale woven from threads of personal challenges, revelations, and a deep desire to empower others.

From a young age, I was always the one in my circle who thrived on change and transformation. I saw it not as a daunting inevitability but as an opportunity to grow, evolve, and redefine the boundaries of what was possible. But, like many stories of inspiration, Just Jeannie’s spark ignited during a period of intense personal upheaval.

A few years ago, I faced a series of life changes that challenged my perceptions of stability and success. I found myself questioning the very essence of happiness and fulfillment. Was it in the prestigious job, the hectic schedule, or the fleeting moments of leisure? It was during this reflective period that I realized the immense power of choice and the profound impact of living a life aligned with one’s authentic self.

This realization didn’t dawn on me in a quiet room; it was amidst the chaos of life, between the cracks of broken plans and unmet expectations. I discovered a resilience I hadn’t known before, and a passion for helping others find the same. The idea of Just Jeannie came to me not as a sudden epiphany but as a gradual awakening to the need for spaces and platforms that champion personal evolution and self-discovery.

Just Jeannie is not just a brand; it’s a testament to the transformative power of embracing change. It embodies my journey from uncertainty to self-assuredness, from conforming to norms to defining my own path. Our mission—to cultivate personal evolution by championing change—stems from my personal narrative of finding strength and courage in the most unexpected places.

Every element of Just Jeannie, from the curated experiences to our upcoming product lines like the ‘Pivotal Moments’ candle collection, is designed to resonate with those who seek more than just success—they seek significance and joy in their lives.

To those reading this, whether you’re navigating your own pivotal moments or simply curious about the paths less traveled, Just Jeannie is more than a brand. It’s a community, a movement, a beacon for those who dare to live life on their own terms. And as you join us on this journey, remember, every moment of change is an opportunity to ignite your light and let it shine brilliantly, just as mine did.

With warmth and light,
Jeannie Jacobs

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Reflecting on my journey, I am struck by the multifaceted nature of success and the diverse experiences that have shaped who I am today. My professional path began in obstetrics and gynecology, where I dedicated two decades to delivering babies and advancing women’s healthcare. This role not only allowed me to witness the miracle of life but also instilled a profound respect for the resilience and strength of women. Each delivery, each consultation was a reminder of the impact one can have by caring for others.

However, my passion didn’t stop at medicine. It extended into real estate when, as a new doctor starting a practice in Louisiana, I experienced firsthand the challenges of finding a home. This difficulty highlighted a gap in the market, especially for first-time homebuyers, and sparked my interest in real estate. This venture was not just about buying and selling properties; it was about creating opportunities and solutions where they were most needed.

Just Jeannie was born from these combined passions and experiences, evolving into a brand that embodies the idea that success is not just about achieving traditional milestones but living a purposeful, well-lived life. The journey to where I am today was not easy—it was fraught with challenges, from navigating the competitive fields of medicine and real estate to launching a lifestyle brand that seeks to inspire and empower.

Overcoming these challenges required resilience, a deep-seated belief in my mission, and an unwavering commitment to my values. I learned that true success comes from aligning one’s professional endeavors with personal convictions and that every setback is an opportunity for growth and reevaluation.

What I want the world to know about Just Jeannie and my story is that this brand is more than just a business—it is a manifestation of a life lived with passion and purpose. It is a call to everyone who interacts with it to not only aspire to achieve but to do so in a way that fulfills and enriches. Just Jeannie is a testament to the beauty of a multi-dimensional approach to life, where various forms of success coalesce to create a truly extraordinary journey.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Houston and its surrounding metro area are a treasure trove of vibrant experiences and luxurious indulgences, perfect for a day out or a prolonged visit. One of my personal favorite spots to unwind and reconnect with friends is the Trellis Spa. It’s an oasis of relaxation where you can spend a day pampering yourself and enjoying serene moments.

For those who relish fine dining coupled with exclusive shopping, the River Oaks District is a must-visit. It’s not just a shopping destination but a lifestyle experience, featuring high-end boutiques like Zimmermann, Dior, and Van Cleef & Arpels. And if luck is on your side, you might just snag that coveted Hermès quota bag.

If you’re looking for a more laid-back experience, head over to the Heights area. Here, you can enjoy great eats and live music, making it a perfect spot for leisurely evenings. For nature enthusiasts or those looking to unwind, a stroll through Memorial Park offers a great escape within the city. It’s a beautiful place to reconnect with nature and enjoy the outdoors.

For sports fans, catching a Rockets basketball game or cheering for the Astros at a baseball game can be exhilarating experiences, filled with local spirit and excitement.

Venturing into the suburbs, the Smart Financial Centre at Sugar Land offers a wide array of entertainment options, from concerts to theatrical performances, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Lastly, the Houston Museum District is an absolute must for anyone visiting. This area boasts an impressive array of museums and cultural institutions, offering insights into art, history, and science. It’s a wonderful way to spend a day enriching your mind and soul amidst some of the finest exhibits in the country.

Each of these locales contributes to the rich tapestry that Houston offers, making it a city of endless possibilities and diverse experiences. Whether you’re looking to relax, shop, eat, or indulge in culture, Houston delivers in grand style.

To everyone who has mentored, guided, and stood by me—your wisdom and encouragement have been my fortress in times of doubt and my cheer in moments of triumph.
