About Jahmaal

A lover of poetry, spoken word, and many different genres of music. I’ve always had a passion and hunger to see past the surface and broach varying topics to discover the Why behind the What.

I’m a certified counselor with I.A.B.C. (The International Association of Biblical Counselors) and former program coordinator for a non-profit organization involved in global outreach. I’m originally from southern California but transitioned to DC in early childhood where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2009.

Oddly enough, I didn’t get my start as a counselor, consultant, public speaker or podcast host.

I got my start through an extremely traumatic childhood that left me broken and striving to put my best foot forward in every facet of life. 

I grew up in a home with a father who (in his earlier years) was an alcoholic and drug addict.

He was often under the influence so I was extremely nervous and on edge and willing to do anything to ensure I didn’t set him off. 

This fear made its way into my subconscious mind and controlled the manner in which I interacted outside the home amongst peers, professionals and associates.

I always brought more to the table than was necessary for fear that I would be rejected. I was told, you have an essence of excellence, but the output was just a trauma-response to the belief that I had to stay two to five steps ahead of everyone around me unless I lose their favor. 

Power in Empathy

Developing Boundaries

As a professional, this produced horrible procrastination, perfectionism, terrible boundaries and addictions as an outlet for my pain. 

I left money on the table and never advocated for myself. I waited to know everything before I would do anything. I lived under the fallacy that perfection was attainable. I also made myself available for work and events to which I had the capacity to fulfill.

Being full of resentment, hate, and debilitating addiction, I knew I must get help before helping others. 

I invested 7 months into my own spiritual, physical and mental health. On the heels of that I interned and began to train in the certification process.

My heart had been healed and I finally had gotten to the root of my behavior.

My fathers life changed dramatically when he had an encounter with God in 2006 and prior to his passing in 2017, we were best friends for 11 years. 

Today I work as a counselor, consultant and Public speaker to spread awareness of and resolve issues of perfectionism, fear, procrastination and addiction.

I see so many professionals existing instead of living and wasting most of their years avoiding rejection instead of pursuing the very things they were created for. 

With teams and managers, we see this in how they communicate. Why continue to lose good staff as a result of not investing in your mental health and going beyond the typical conflict resolution workshops that get no lasting results.

You can be a successful entrepreneur of crushing it in your career, yet being crushed on the inside.

If you don’t understand the psychology behind your thinking, you will not understand the source of your problematic patterns.   

The mindsets that are not revealed will not be removed. 

Get to the root of the issue so the fruit of your output can take care of itself. 

This is a problem that I’m obsessed with and very good at solving. 

Since the onset of Covid coaches have been popping up everywhere.  I’m not new to this and have over 10 years of experience in life transformation.
