Holding space for the professional women who hold space for everyone else is our priority.
It brings CLARITY. Elevates CONFIDENCE. Builds COMMUNITY
As professional women, we give so much of ourselves,
but who pours back into us?
When JoAnn relocated from New Orleans to Atlanta, she missed her girlfriends/support system. So, she began hosting a small group of women at her home to provide support and accountability for each other. It was then she realized the need to create safe spaces for professional women to experience emotional support, practice self-care, heal and feel heard.
Conversations from this incredible community inspired her first book,
"It Begins With You".

Self-Care for Success
Self-care for Success is an invitation for self discovery at a deeper level. It's a journey of healing and spiritual growth for those who dare to pause and reconnect.
I use writing to heal and help others. It's a part of my self-care plan. This tool has added tremendous value to my life and the lives of others. In "Self-Care for Success" I candidly share some of my journal entries mixed with coaching tools to aid the reader in reconnecting with who they are, providing support and accountability as they work toward their self-care goals.
Are you satisfied with your current self-care status?
Join the movement and bring a friend!

JoAnn was patient and compassionate while asking questions that served as a guide, helping me to identify the blocks that were preventing me from moving forward.
Through this process I was able to release these emotional blocks and create a step-by-step plan to create the life and business plan I had envisioned.

Joining the Self-Care For Success Circle was right on time. It fits me because I can be both my personal and professional self, without judgment.
This circle provides more than one can imagine. What some would consider a meeting, I feel it is a weekly get-together with sister friends. Each week brings something different, a new view, thought, an ah or even an oh no moment. It is spirit led and spirit fed-what a winning combination.

You challenged me to ask myself the difficult questions and helped me to see me for who I am. I admire who you are and all that you pour into others. Words cannot capture how much you mean to me and the Circle.
I was always able to take something back I learned from each event. The Circle is a safe place for me to fill up on self-care. Each event was always on time for where I was in life. There were so many gems given throughout each session that impacted my personal and spiritual journey.

Though I didn't think it was for me, I was blessed by the very first Faith Circle meeting.
The warm welcome and no judgment zone let me now I was free to BE me. I didn't have to be Lady Bea, the Pastor's wife of Madear. I could be Beatrice Jones, free to speak.

The warm welcome and no judgment zone let me now I was free to BE me. I didn't have to be Lady Bea, the Pastor's wife of Madear. I could be Beatrice Jones, free to speak.
The atmosphere was filled with love. I loved it so much I invited friends and coworkers to attend future events. The circle reminded me I wasn't the only person going through experiences.
The encouragement and safety leaves me in anticipation of our next in person event after this pandemic passes.

Coach JoAnn has helped me to grow in areas I did not anticipate. I have grown spiritually, and I have recaptured my power lost in childhood fears and early programming.
JoAnn’s process includes asking questions that get to the source of mental blockages and hidden emotional baggage. We worked intimately together, and I ended up trusting her with things I have not shared before and the experience was healing.
She is tremendously compassionate, and her kindness melted my defenses and allowed me to be completely honest with her and ultimately myself. I have grown as a woman and a businessperson.
I feel so much more empowered!
When I first heard of how awesome you are and the powerful work you do, I was at a Vision Board party and my friend stood in the middle of the room and proclaimed how wonderful your book is and how you helped her navigate her life, especially after the tragic death of her son. Her testimony moved me.

When I first heard of how awesome you are and the powerful work you do, I was at a Vision Board party and my friend stood in the middle of the room and proclaimed how wonderful your book is and how you helped her navigate her life, especially after the tragic death of her son. Her testimony moved me.
At that moment I was in a state of despair, feeling unworthy, afraid to step into my greatness...I was stuck. So instead of going on a food binge or a shopping spree, I called you. So glad I did!
You helped so much, just by simply having me set up a schedule, that worked for me. I started going back to the gym, increasing water intake and lost 10 lbs and counting!
When it came to my business, I will admit that I was hesitant to go there. I had huge negative self talk and compared myself to others. You asked me write one sentence to explain my business, I was "stuck" again. I had not done that "homework" and you held me accountable, I felt terrible! I sat down and worked it out, wrote that one sentence that defined my business and I love it! My hubby loved it! And when you heard it you loved it too! Things began to come together!
I have nothing but praise for what you do for people JoAnn, getting people to take that little step forward, until we feel like we can bounce ahead and be ok.
I will forever be grateful for your help and setting me in the right direction.
Holding on to a vision for over 10 years seems like a long time when you are “busy.” I knew God had placed it inside me to write a book that would be a tool and transparent story for parents. I typed the outline in 2012 and that was it!

Holding on to a vision for over 10 years seems like a long time when you are “busy.” I knew God had placed it inside me to write a book that would be a tool and transparent story for parents. I typed the outline in 2012 and that was it!
I continued living life and living out my purpose (partially) using the excuse, “I just do not have the time to sit and write a whole book.” I can remember having a session with my mentor, JoAnn Dean and mentioning different things I knew I was purposed to do and writing a book was on that list.
Fast forward, 2019, COVID-19, Pandemic, everyone has TIME! I am on the phone with JoAnn and of course, if you know JoAnn, the question came up, “when are you going to start on that book?” I was not thinking about that book! She went on, “You have time now, don’t you?” What could I say?
JoAnn began to give me pointers on how to get started. As I finished one task, she gave me another task. What was JoAnn really doing? She fueled me! Once I started, I could not stop! She caused me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Before long, I had the draft of MY book in my hand! The excitement of this moment was indescribable.
JoAnn can truly coach you into your next dream. She has the words, the passion, and the fortitude to see your dream come TRUE!! I am SO grateful for her and her drive to see other succeed.
