About Jacqueline Bonfini
My Experience. Your Roadmap
For nearly two decades, I immersed myself in the vibrant world of global luxury retail brands, including Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, and YETI, among others. My journey through wholesale, merchandising, and strategic consulting taught me the art of understanding complex systems and executing initiatives that yield tangible results. I was driven by a genuine passion for building thriving brands and leading dynamic teams. Yet, beneath the outward success, I was quietly navigating a complex inner world.
In 2018, I made a profound choice: I quit my executive-level role and left the city I loved so much to move to Austin with no job or clear plan—just a gut feeling. It was a move everyone thought was crazy, but I was guided by a deep desire to meet someone and start a new life. In just a few years, I met my husband, got married, and we welcomed our two daughters, a wild and beautiful acceleration into a new chapter.
This rapid transition into motherhood in my late thirties shattered the coping mechanisms I had built over a lifetime. The familiar tools felt inadequate, leaving me adrift and questioning everything. Faced with this, I instinctively did what I knew best: I turned inward. In 2023, I quit my final corporate role and embarked on a transformative period of self-work and exploration of powerful approaches. This period became a catalyst, cracking me open and revealing layers of wisdom I never expected.
Emerging from this intense exploration, I carry a profound sense of gratitude. My journey through serious highs and lows has taught me that while listening to my inner voice is beneficial, it’s not always easy. It's why I am now so passionate about creating the place and the content that I wish I had for myself years ago.
My last name, Bonfini, means “Good Ending,” and it is the philosophy that guides my work today. As an Executive Coach, I am currently pursuing an ICF-accredited certification from iPEC, a top-tier program that is formalizing my skills and expertise to better serve my clients. I help individuals discover their inner strength and develop strategies to overcome their overwhelm—the same overwhelm that I know so well—so they can write their own beautiful next chapter. Through my core approach, we work to align your energy and mindset with your vision, so we can make your "good ending" feel tangible and inevitable. I then draw on my decades of experience to help you build a clear, actionable roadmap to get you where you want to go.
Think of it as gracefully organizing a long-cherished, yet cluttered, inner closet. I’ll help you gently clear the internal noise, identify the inherent tools and strengths that reside within you, and learn how to access them with ease. While I deeply respect the work of therapists, my focus is on the practical fine-tuning—helping you integrate your insights and confidently step forward into your most aligned life.
If my journey resonates with yours, I’d be honored to help you organize your own ‘inner closet’ and move toward your goals with greater clarity, purpose, and ease.
