Jacqueline Pirtle on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Jacqueline Pirtle. Check out our conversation below.

Jacqueline , it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
For me, energy is the heartbeat of everything and everyone because at the smallest core of anything, that’s all there is. When your energy is aligned and you understand your unique energetic essence, you’re living from your truest place. That alignment naturally brings out your best self; joyful, magnetic, and authentic.

Intelligence? You can nurture it. And while it’s valuable, most of it is filtered through the ego unless we’re talking about energetic intelligence, which always circles back to energy. And as for integrity, when you’re aligned energetically, integrity isn’t something you strive for it’s simply who you are. In that state, truth and wholeness flow effortlessly from the heart.

In short: master your energy, and the rest takes care of itself.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Jacqueline Pirtle—author, energy healer, and the spark behind FreakyHealer. I help soulful women (but also men, young people, and children) flip the switch from “meh” to magnetic so they can stop surviving and start thriving in full-on joy mode. My work blends 30+ years of energy mastery with a playful, no-fluff approach—because transformation doesn’t have to feel heavy to be life-changing.

Through my 18+ books and journals, signature Energetic Profile work, courses and programs, I teach people how to understand, align, and elevate their energy so they can live the life they actually want. Most people try to fix life from the outside in, but I help them shift it from the inside out where the real magic happens.

What makes FreakyHealer unique? Every word, exercise, and tool comes from deep energetic work and a genuine belief that joy and happiness is not a luxury, it’s a daily choice. I don’t just hand you inspiration; I hand you tools you can actually use, so happiness becomes your normal, not your someday.

Right now, I’m on a mission to make energetic awareness mainstream, whether that’s through my bestselling 365 Days of Happiness series, my books, my playful-but-profound journals, or my sessions and teachings. When you shift your energy, you shift your life. And when one woman shifts? The ripple is unstoppable.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child, I believed my job was to be the “good girl”—small, quiet, agreeable, and endlessly accommodating. I thought my worth came from making everyone else feel good, even at my own expense. That meant taking the verbal abuse, excusing the emotional abuse, enduring the sexual abuse—all in the name of not making others uncomfortable. I was made to feel small, like nothing, incapable, and certainly not someone who could succeed in a big way.

I carried that belief for far too long. But here’s the truth I have claimed now: I am not here to shrink. I am here to live fully, speak boldly, and take up space. I am here in joy, in power, and in purpose. My work today is a direct rebellion against that old conditioning. Through FreakyHealer, I help others remember that they, too, were never meant to be small. We are meant to radiate.

When you were sad or scared as a child, what helped?
Early on, I learned to go inward. It was the most natural thing for me. Even as a child, I intuitively knew about my soul space, my soul knowing, and my purpose. Back then, I couldn’t name it, but I knew exactly what to do: step into what you could call “my bubble.”

In that space, I understood that on an energetic level, a soul level, nothing could truly touch me. Yes, physical life could be painful or scary, but my true self – my energy – remained untouched. I instinctively separated the physical from the energetic, and that separation brought me peace.

Now I see how powerful that was. That practice I relied on as a child is the very thing that allows me to do my work today. I live and create from an energetic place. I write, teach, and heal energetically, leaving my own or really any physical stories out, so I can read, sense, and shift energy for others with clarity. It’s not just what I do. It’s who I’ve always been.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest lies in my industry is that you need a guru, someone to tell you what to do or how life “should” work. You don’t. What you really need are teachings and tools that take you deep inside yourself, into your own soul space and energetic essence, because that is where your answers live.

Too often, people are taught only on the physical-life level: how to budget, brush your teeth, or build an enlightening morning routine. Sure, those things matter, but they’re surface-level. True clarity, guidance, and transformation happens at the energetic and soul level—and that’s unique to each person.

This is exactly what my teachings, tools, and books are designed to do. And it’s why I rarely teach through the lens of my own life stories or traumas, because this work isn’t about living my truth. It’s about uncovering and living yours.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Always. Because who I am and what I do has nothing to do with external praise—it’s about my soul alignment and my truth as an energetic being living this physical life. For me, it’s all energy: my soul experiencing life through this body in this world.

When I’m not giving everything my best, I’m not in my pure positive energetic essence and that misalignment creates un-wellness that eventually shows up in my physical body. So giving my best isn’t just about the work I do, it’s about giving myself, my energy, and my soul the best, too.

The deepest satisfaction comes from within. Sure, I enjoy a great piece of chocolate, a glass of red wine, or a heartfelt “thank you,” but those are the cherries on top. The real praise is the feeling of being fully aligned with the universe, higher power, God—whatever name you give it. When all is aligned within, all is well everywhere.
