What happens when life forces you to slow down—and you finally listen? In this soul-stirring episode of CEO Chatter LIVE, Fancy sits down with entrepreneur, strategist, and purpose coach Jackie B. Grice to discuss how silence, rest, and spiritual alignment can transform both your life and your leadership.

After her multimillion-dollar transportation company unexpectedly halted during COVID, Grice embraced stillness and uncovered a deeper calling—one that led her to coaching, speaking, and hosting transformational retreats designed to help women heal, reset, and realign with their purpose.

At the center of the conversation is her upcoming ReFresHER Retreat, taking place February 15–17 at the Salamander Resort in Middleburg, Virginia, where women will experience prayer, meditation, radical rest, and intentional personal development in a luxury, soul-centered environment.

Fancy and Jackie also unpack the power of discernment in leadership, how entrepreneurs can build businesses that support wellness instead of burnout, and why the “small thing in your hands” could unlock your next breakthrough. With inspiring stories of real transformation and practical wisdom for high-achieving women, this episode is a reminder that clarity often begins when you finally give yourself permission to pause.

If you’re ready to stop running on empty and start leading from a place of wholeness, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, listen inward, and launch deeper into the life you’re truly called to live.
