Welcome to the official About Jacqualyn page: HI! I’m Jacqualyn, and this is my journey as a southern woman of faith and grit. From the backroads of Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, to building a life rooted in healing and purpose, my story is one of strength, setbacks, and soulful comebacks.

About Jacqualyn – From Tangipahoa Parish To Purpose

I was born and raised in the heart of Southeast Louisiana. My childhood was rich in tradition, rooted in family, and flavored with Sunday dinners, hard work, and unwavering faith. Homemade remedies and the deep belief that GOD never wastes a season. That southern upbringing taught me to lean on grace, give generously, and never back down from a challenge. The southern values I was raised on—community, connection, and resilience—are still the foundation of everything I do today.

Like many women, I’ve faced seasons of great joy and deep sorrow. I’ve known success in my 40+ years in the mortgage industry, but I’ve also walked through heartbreak, illness, loss, and uncertainty. What carried me through? Faith, grit, and a little southern stubbornness.

A Southern Woman’s Story of Healing And Hope

My career in Mortgage Banking—serving families, managing teams, and building a reputation for hard work and integrity. But behind the scenes, I faced my own storms: health issues, loss, depression, and deep personal growth. Some seasons nearly broke me. But I kept showing up, one day at a time. And eventually, I realized that my healing wasn’t just mine.
It was meant to be shared.

Strong Women Of Faith And Grit – Why I Built This Brand

That’s why I created My Favorite Health Depot, part of the Shop Learn & Thrive Brand.
This isn’t just a site—it’s a haven for those seeking genuine solutions. It’s where faith meets function, where wellness becomes a lifestyle, and where we stop chasing trends and start rebuilding from the inside out.

Wellness, Clarity & Courage After 50

I believe that a wellness journey after 50 is not only possible but also powerful. I believe that God gives us everything we need, but we have to be willing to show up for ourselves. I believe that sharing my story can help someone else write a new chapter in their own life.

Because healing doesn’t have an expiration date—and growth isn’t just for the young. It’s for every woman who’s been knocked down, gotten back up, and decided to try again. And if that’s you, then know this: you’re right on time.

What You’ll Find at My Favorite Health Depot

Here, you’ll find resources that helped me—from energy and brain support, to sleep hacks, to EMF protection and nutritional tools. But you’ll also find something deeper: hope, clarity, and maybe even a little courage to start again.

Wellness, Pet Care, and Everyday Solutions That Work

One of the things I treasure most about this journey is the community that’s formed along the way. That’s what our Thrive Wellness Community is all about—real people coming together to support one another, swap stories, and grow stronger, healthier, and more grounded in purpose. We’re not perfect, but we’re progressing—and we believe progress is something to be proud of.

You’ll also meet Miss Prada—my four-legged miracle girl. She’s survived it all: misdiagnoses, emergency care, and a team of over 12 doctors who finally got it right. Now she’s living proof that even the smallest life can inspire a big comeback. If you read her story, you’ll know exactly why she’s the heartbeat behind our Pet Health Care section.

Whether you’re here for recipes, remedies, mindset shifts, or simply to feel connected again, you’re in good company. From health hacks and sleep tips to personal stories and product spotlights, this space was built to help you feel seen, supported, and inspired.

So whether you found this page by accident or on purpose, I want you to know something:
You’re not alone. Healing takes time, and sometimes it takes community, too. So take what you need here, share what speaks to you, and know that this southern woman is cheering you on—every step of the way.
