Lifelong student of psychology, philosophy, and theology. Working at the intersection of biblical wisdom, human behavior, and real transformation.
But none of those titles tell the full story.
My authority did not begin with a certification. It was formed through years of survival, salvation, service, motherhood, business, study, teaching, injury, recovery, and obedience. I did not become this woman by theory. I was formed through real life.
My work sits at the intersection of faith, psychology, behavior, business, integrity, discernment, personal responsibility, and transformation. I help people understand the patterns that govern their lives so they can stop living from confusion, fear, compromise, and unrenewed thinking.
I write and teach for people who want real growth, not surface-level motivation. People who are willing to examine the root, not just manage the fruit. People who want to build, live, lead, heal, and work with integrity before God.
"My authority did not begin with a certification. It was formed through years of survival, salvation, service, motherhood, business, study, teaching, injury, recovery, and obedience."
My story did not start clean. As a teenager, I was a high school dropout who had been involved in gangs. At 16, I overdosed and ended up in a hospital bed fighting for my life. That is where everything changed.
I had a radical encounter with God in that hospital bed, and that encounter redirected my life. I did not just decide to become a better version of myself. God rescued me. He interrupted the path I was on and began forming me into the woman I am today. That moment became the beginning of a long process of rebuilding. Not instantly. Not perfectly. But faithfully.
By 17 or 18, I was studying to become a nail technician in Puerto Rico. That is where I discovered something I did not yet have language for. I was creative. I was a builder. And I could teach.
During training, we prepared for the San Juan Beauty Show. My instructor brought me a concept and asked me to develop it. I took her idea and made it tangible. I later became a nail tech instructor and taught in one of the classrooms at the same school I graduated from. That teaching gift did not start with coaching. It was there from the beginning.
My first business came from paying attention. After becoming a nail technician and taking cosmetology classes, I started a mobile salon. Women kept telling me they wanted services but their schedules made it impossible. I saw the gap and filled it. I went into people's homes early in the morning or late at night, sometimes finishing appointments at 10 o'clock at night.
I did not have formal business language for what I was doing, but I understood something intuitively. People had a real problem. I had a skill. And I could create an honest exchange of value by meeting them where they were. That is where my marketplace education began. Not in theory. In people's homes. In service. In long hours.
Over the years I worked as a waitress, in a pizza shop, cleaning houses, in retail, in call centers, in customer service, and in corporate training. I homeschooled my children and taught in Bible school, Sunday school, and vacation Bible school. Very early in life I developed the belief that every role could teach me something if I was paying attention. Long before I had academic language for it, I was studying people, watching what pressure revealed, learning how trust was built and how communication broke down.
One of the hardest seasons of my family's life came during the 2008 financial crash. We lost jobs, lost stability, and had to rebuild from scratch while raising two children under the age of six. My husband was truck driving and I was cleaning houses while going to school for web development. At the same time I was dealing with herniated discs that caused severe pain. There were days I could not stand up straight and needed help getting dressed.
During that season I used my graphic design and web development skills to barter with our landlord, who owned a motel on Route 66. In exchange for web design and marketing support, my family had a roof over our heads for nearly a year. Some of that work was done from my bed. That season taught me that skills are not just for income. Sometimes skills become provision. Sometimes skills become the bridge between collapse and stability.
I once worked as an office manager for an investment company that eventually went rogue. When I discovered illegal activity, I had to make a decision: stay silent or tell the truth. The situation turned into a multistate Ponzi scheme case. The people responsible eventually went to prison. That season taught me something I have never forgotten. Righteousness is not just what you say you believe when everything is clean. Righteousness is what you choose when truth has a cost.
One of my businesses began because of my oldest son. When he was a baby he struggled with eczema. I could not find anything on the market that truly worked, so I started experimenting at home. That process led me to soap making, lotion formulation, and skincare. What started as a mother trying to solve a problem eventually grew into a full skincare company, with products sold in boutiques, on Amazon, and with customers as far as the United Arab Emirates. That business was not born from trend chasing. It was born from need. From motherhood. From research, trial and error, and a refusal to accept that there was nothing I could do.
In 2020, I was in a motorcycle accident that left me with significant injuries, including the loss of roughly 74 percent of the mobility in my right arm. That accident changed how I move, what I can carry, how much repetition my body can tolerate, and the way I work, rest, drive, write, and plan.
But it did not stop me. In many ways it made my voice stronger. That season forced me to rebuild again, with a deeper awareness of the body, the nervous system, trauma, pain, fatigue, pacing, and adaptation. I know what it is to have vision and limitation at the same time, to build differently, work differently, rest differently, and still refuse to surrender the assignment God placed in your hands.
Understanding who you are underneath your roles, titles, and performance. The work that changes how you think before it changes what you do.
How to lead without controlling, build without compromising, and operate with the kind of consistency that does not require an audience to hold.
The patterns underneath the people-pleasing, the overgiving, the silence. What it actually takes to build a life with clear edges and clean hands.
Biblical wisdom applied to real decisions, real relationships, and real pressure. Not platitudes. The kind of truth that holds when everything else is shaking.
Why people do what they do, why they stay stuck, and what the research actually says about how human beings change. Applied, not just explained.
The connection between how you feel physically, how you think, and how you lead. Wholeness is not a bonus. It is the foundation.
My work brings together biblical wisdom, practical life experience, psychology, behavior, philosophy, and spiritual discernment to help people understand why they do what they do and how to change with integrity. I believe God cares about how we build, how we lead, how we speak, how we sell, how we serve, how we handle money, how we treat people, and how we carry our assignments. These are not separate subjects. They are connected.
I am not interested in helping people look transformed while remaining unchanged. I care about the root. The heart posture. The thought pattern. The agreement. The behavior. The fruit. FeJonesLive exists to help people build, live, lead, and grow with integrity.
