Jessica Eaves Mathews

Jessica Eaves Mathews is passionate about helping women launch wealth-building businesses infused with authenticity & passion.

Jessica is a seasoned business lawyer, advisor and coach for business owners and entrepreneurs. She is also a multi-passionate entrepreneur herself, having launched a number of successful ventures of her own throughout the past 15 years.

Jessica has had a wonderfully successful career as a lawyer. However, she has always suffered from entrepreneurial ADD because she has never wanted to be defined as “just a lawyer.” Her heart has always been drawn to creating businesses out of her creativity and passions.   And over the years, she found that her clients, friends and family regularly sought her out for advice, support and guidance on how to launch and run their own businesses.

Jessica’s interests and successes are incredibly diverse, giving her a rich, varied and totally unique perspective as a business coach and advisor.  Never one to follow convention or to be typecast, Jessica is a published author, speaker, online-entrepreneur, clothing designer, reality TV show producer, professor, past home builder and designer, actor, singer and dancer. Clearly, Jessica is multi-faceted and has found professional and personal success in a myriad of disciplines.

Bucking convention once again, Jessica is shedding her role as “just a lawyer” and is realizing her own dream of devoting her time and energies to helping women reach their own dreams and goals.

Through her dynamic coaching programs, Business Brilliance Mastermind™, SHEngle Mastermind™, home study programs, live events and ezines, Jessica guides women entrepreneurs and women lawyers through the emotional and practical steps toward a well-founded business that is based in authenticity, passion and that can provide personal and financial wealth.

Her Business Brilliance™ brand is dedicated to empowering women with the tools they need to create a life of personal and financial brilliance through entrepreneurship.

Her SHEngle™ brand is dedicated to empowering women lawyers by giving them the courage and tools they need to launch or recreate their law practices, so they can live authentically and joyfully, while turbo-charging their revenues.

In her free time, Jessica loves spending time in her Corrales, New Mexico home with her daughter, where they ride and show their Arabian horses, play with their three, silly, large doggies, and enjoy the New Mexico sun.

Tamara Gold

Gold believes that everyone can live a beautiful life. As one of the top celebrity makeup artists and stylists with decades of experience, she knows how to makeover a face, a body, and most importantly, a spirit. The Gold Standard of beauty and style begins with a foundation of self-esteem, a base coat of fashion and makeup know-how and then some extra sparkle to make her clients shine.
