Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, my name is Jacqueline Pirtle. I am the owner of the lifestyle company FreakyHealer, and I am a holistic practitioner, speaker, and the author of 365 Days of Happiness, Parenting Through the Eyes of Lollipops, and What it Means to BE a Woman. That makes 3 books!
My passion for mindful happiness shines through in all of my life and work, helping clients to shift into a high-for-life frequency—a unique experience that calls people into their highest potential in their NOW!
I have been featured in multiple online magazines, including Authority Magazine, Thrive Global, NBC NewsBetter, have appeared on Women Inspired TV, and interviewed on podcasts and radio shows such as The Sunday School Radio Show, The Lisa Radio Show and WoMRadio. My article “Are You Happy?” is in print in The Edge Magazine.
I was born in Switzerland, have lived all over the world, and am now making my home in the US with my wonderful family. My professional background is in holistic wellness and natural living, I hold various international degrees, and am an internationally certified Reiki Master.
I also consider myself a professional red wine and dark chocolate taster.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called What it Means to BE a Woman.
The inspiration clearly came because I am a very happy woman.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not sure if that is unusual, but, I get my physical me and my mind out of the way so words can just flow though me, into the computer, and onto paper. The more I let go of what I think my new book has to be the better and easier writing is for me.
Plus I truly enjoy writing.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am always influenced by everything, be it an author, a book, an article, or nature and life itself. It is a constant inspirational play that is going on for me.
What are you working on now?
Right now I am promoting my new book since it was just published, while, of course, playing with new ideas to write about.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use all my social media accounts and my website to post about my books, I also make videos, use your service and the service of BooksGoSocial, and have a publicist that helps me out when needed. Plus I am very proud and happy to self-promote, something I learned to enjoy.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t be shy to self-promote and to talk about who you are and the writing work you do. Be outspoken and infectious with your writers-joy. People love that.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Stay lighthearted and enjoy what you are doing. BE happy!
What are you reading now?
I always read a bunch of different things, books, online, letters, articles… I read everything right now!
What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep writing and writing and promoting and promoting.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Books from Esther Hicks
Books from Gregg Braden
Books from Bruce Lipton
And a journal for me to write my own next book…
