About JoAnn Jacobs
JoAnn Jacobs started with door-to-door sales when she was only 5-10 years-old. She went from learning how to run a fast food business next to her high school at 10-15 years old to having to ask her mom how to change a diaper when her daughter was born at 22-years-old. Watching her daughter mirror back where she needed to improve helped her research how children develop, heal where she needed to develop, and actively learn how to be a mom while healing and growing herself. Over the next 20 years JoAnn developed on every level to live a more enriched and positive life, and during this time she developed a system for exponential growth which was later turned into classes. She sustained a significant head injury in 2017 and used her recovery to propel herself forward and developed the Create Your Journey Classes and Sassy Jo Creations, Inc. business structure, values, and systems. For JoAnn, it’s been an incredible Journey to Joyful Wholeness and she is striving to help others find that in themselves.
