Today we’d like to introduce you to Eunique Jackson.
Hi Eunique, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I’m from Cincinnati Ohio, but I live in Houston. Growing up as the middle child of 5, often made me the black sheep in my family. I’m the shortest, most petite, and often considered the “sensitive kid” out of all of my siblings. Which made me extremely insecure growing up, I was never your typical “voluptuous” woman. My strong physique, a-cup breasts, small frame, often separated me from my siblings & girls at school. My parents were extremely strict growing up. I wasn’t allowed to go to the movies, the mall, no friends house to sleep over (as I got older, I became more grateful) no social media until I was 18. Curfew was 6pm on weekdays & 8pm of weekends. I wanted to learn how to do the splits, so I taught myself at 13 years old. I used to hand sew my own clothes, do creative projects, and read to help entertain me. I had a pretty lonely childhood. I was sexually molested and assaulted as a child. Started when I was 7 & ended when we moved to Texas at 10 years old. I watched my first pornography video & saw my first condom at 7, so Growing up not really having anyone to talk to, comfort me, listen to me or be patient with me, has made me into the woman I am today. I never had the best relationship with my mom growing up because she’s always worked a lot which caused her to be tired often. I had to teach myself how to connect with my inner being. I never had a childhood, because I had to grow up at a very young age. I was exposed to a lot, but I often found myself extremely scared of interacting with people. I’ve never felt safe, I never felt heard, I never felt like anyone cared to notice the change in me. The silence. The shift in my energy but no one ever did. They told me I was too sensitive, they told me to stop wetting the bed, they told me to stop having nightmares. No one asked me why those things were happening. From dealing with childhood trauma, being kicked out at 18, getting cheated on my first relationship & going into a deep depression, Making clothes, shaping eyebrows and beards in highschool , cleaning in my parents cleaning business and babysitting on the side I learned yoga at 20 years old ! I learned breathwork. How to live intentionally. I’ve always wanted to help people, who struggle with mental health issues. People who have insecurities and childhood trauma. To teach them that we were made specifically how we’re supposed to be. That surrounding yourself with loving and kind people makes a difference. Unlearning habits that you’ve learned growing up. I’ve learned that just because you didn’t grow up surrounded by love, doesn’t mean you can’t give it. I am everything I needed growing up. I broke the generational curse in my family. I give love, encouragement, support, and patience because I never had it. I teach people to love themselves beyond measure. Teach them that just because society says one thing, doesn’t mean you have to live like society. You don’t have to like the things that other people like, or consume themselves in. You can be YOU ! It’s okay to be weird, it’s okay to live out your inner child, it’s okay to cry and feel upset about something. It’s okay to not be okay. Balancing your hormones, prioritizing yourself, making a schedule for daily life, eating healthy & doing things that makes you happy is the recipe for a great life. I want people to know that taking care of yourself, and working out doesn’t have to be dreadful. You should speak life into the actions you do. You should say your gratitude, so you don’t get caught up in what you don’t have. I’ve been teaching for the past 4 years now & it’s honestly one of the best feelings ever. Being able to give, help & inform and comfort the people I encounter. Life is busy because the world doesn’t stop moving, they taught us to keep moving no matter what, but being present and taking a break to work on yourself is actually the most rewarding. My social media blew up and I’ve been trying to motivate people to live intentionally every since. Make things fun for yourself, add some quick movements to your daily routine, so that you can be a better you. It takes smalls steps, to get to the big steps. I overthink so much, I think so much, my thoughts have thoughts so I love to help people slow their brain down so they can process their thoughts. Teach them how to be in control of their emotions, so their emotions aren’t in control of them. I’ve truly found my purpose. My Mental health has been something I’ve struggled with for a while, so now that I’m learning about myself and how to get better. I just want to help other people do the same! Overstand that life is more than what’s presented to us! That just because you are APART of the society doesn’t mean you have to do what society does. I strongly encourage everyone to go on a self discovery journey ! Spend time alone. Heal yourself.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Absolutely not !
– Being sexually molested as a child & adult
– Developing social anxiety moving to Texas
– Being insecure about my physique
– I’ve only had one bf & he cheated on me the entire relationship
– I had no friends/no family to talk to.
– Homeless from 2019-2022
– Made the most money I’ve ever made, and lost it trying to help my family.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I teach yoga, meditation, flexibility and personal training. I specialize in flexibility. I’m most known for my pretzel pose, doing the splits & having a lot of energy.
– I am the most proud of myself for teaching myself how to do the splits at a young age. I’m also proud of myself for overcoming things I NEVER thought I’d overcome. I always felt weird, awkward and ashamed of myself. I’ve overcome so many battles mentally, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically that I have no other choice but yo give myself a pat on the back every chance I get.
– What sets me apart from others is my drive to be a positive light in a dark world. I believe everything happens for a reason & I shape myself to be what people need in the moment. My ability to understand, love and give compassion. To love myself despite my flaws. To accept myself in my entirety.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
Honestly, every person I’ve encountered in my life deserves credit. Whether they’ve played a positive or negative role in my life. I wouldn’t be who I am today if never encountered those situations. Everyone in my life has taught me how to love myself properly. How to be better to people. How not to treat people. My followers had helped me more than anything ! Being blessed with random people who loves you for being you, has been the most amazing help to my overall mental health. My parents & family encourages me to continue to be myself. My baby sister helps me edit my videos and keeps me updated with new trends. My followers keep me motivated. My friends keep be consistent.
