She plays in a competitive tennis league, loves diving into business and entrepreneurship, and brings an easy, grounded optimism into everything she does. Her entrepreneurial spark lit up early: at age 11, she made $5,000 selling Beanie Babies. Since then, she\u2019s launched several product-based businesses, including an accessory line created while studying abroad in Italy. After college, Jackie built her career in corporate retail merchandising before a company bankruptcy pushed her into the vendor side of retail. There, she joined a manufacturing company specializing in apparel and accessories, eventually buying into the business and becoming a managing partner. For the past eight years, she\u2019s helped others bring their products to life\u2014but there was one idea she couldn\u2019t shake. After a decade of carrying it with her, she finally decided to bet on herself. That leap became Piper & Mint, an innovative pajama brand designed to help women sleep better through postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and every hormonal shift in between. In this episode of The Drama-Free Healthy Living Podcast, Jackie shares the journey behind her sweat-wicking, mint-infused cooling PJs\u2014why she created them, what makes the fabric unique, and how real women shaped the product through testing and feedback. We talk openly about night sweats, temperature swings, hormonal chaos, and why so many women feel dismissed or misunderstood in healthcare settings. Jackie also dives deep into her path as a founder: what it really takes to bring an idea to life, why patience matters more than perfection, and how she built a mission-driven brand that not only supports women but also gives back through fertility-grant funding. We also explore: What cooling PJs can (and can\u2019t) do for night sweats Why mint-infused fabric changes the sleep equation How to validate a product idea when you're starting from zero The realities of slow, sustainable growth The emotional toll of not sleeping well How mindset, purpose, and optimism shape Jackie\u2019s definition of healthy living If you\u2019ve ever struggled with hormonal sleep issues, wondered why your body temperature is doing the most, or thought about turning a product idea into something real, this episode offers both comfort and inspiration.
