Jaqueline Hollows (also known as MamaJ) is an inspiration.

For years she led pioneering work with Beyond Recovery inside the UK prison system, bringing transformative coaching to people society had long since written off. Lives changed. Communities formed.
And then she left it all behind.
Not because it failed, but because something new was calling.
I sat down with MamaJ to get the full story.
In this conversation, she shares what it was really like to let go of a purpose-driven project that had become a huge part of her identity, and how she navigated the uncertain space before the next chapter revealed itself.
If you’ve ever wondered what it means to trust the unknown while creating meaningful work in the world, you’ll appreciate this conversation.
In this episode, we explore:
- How Jacqueline built and expanded a transformational prison program in the UK
- The surprising moment she knew it was time to let it go
- Why clarity about the next chapter often appears after the old one ends
- The role of action when bringing meaningful work into the world
- How trusting the unknown can open unexpected opportunities
If you’re navigating a business pivot, spiritual business transition, or a moment of uncertainty in your work, MamaJ’s story offers practical insight and encouragement.
