About the Author

Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, DJ Jacobsen spent decades as a dedicated educator and a mother bear to her beloved OG4, her four children. For years, she lived in the shadow of a traumatic kidnapping at age sixteen, using success to mask a heart fueled by fear.

It wasn’t until her recent big move and a spiritual awakening in Mexico that she found the courage to reclaim her name and her voice. Today, DJ is a practitioner of mindfulness and a ray of hope, proving that life is bigger than its darkest chapters.
