IRINA JACOBSON
My Story
Hello everyone, my name is Irina and I have a unique story to share with you. I lost my leg to bone cancer when I was just 8 years old, but my amazing mother always was telling me that I have only one leg but it’s the most beautiful leg in the world. Her belief in me helped me stay confident and positive, even when others doubted me.
Over the years, I faced challenges that wore down my self-confidence and caused anxiety, but I never gave up. Despite some friends telling me that I may never find a husband because of my disability, I proved them wrong by getting married twice and fully supporting myself as an entrepreneur at the age of 23.
I have faced many challenges, including complicated relationships and divorces, as well as two immigrations. I struggled to fully accept myself as a person with one leg, and made many wrong choices along the way.
All that wore down my self-confidence and caused anxiety.
However, I refused to let these obstacles define me or hold me back. It wasn't until after my second divorce that I decided to learn how to fully accept myself and live with my disability in a way that would inspire and amaze others.
​
"Choose love over ego, embrace kindness and acceptance, focus on giving rather than receiving, and remember, things aren't always as they seem."
I started pursuing my dreams, from learning how to dance, to wearing heels, to swimming and sailing. And at age 44, I even changed my career path. I have taken my passion for helping others to the next level, becoming a transformational life coach and motivational speaker. Though it's scary and difficult at times, I feel happy and alive.
​
Through my journey, I have learned to embrace my uniqueness and inspire others to do the same. I want to be a model of what's possible, and encourage others to pursue their dreams with the same determination and positivity that I have. I believe in miracles and true love, and I hope that you do too.
Despite my disability, I am a firm believer in staying active and healthy. I workout, dance, and motivate others to do the same. I became a transformational life coach and motivational speaker and I am using my experiences to inspire others to overcome their own obstacles.
As a woman with disability, immigrant, mother of two boys, one aged 23 and the other aged 16, and an entrepreneur for 20 years, I am fully dedicated to helping both men and women become confident, happy, and independent individuals.
Through education, teaching, motivation, and inspiration, I strive to empower others to achieve their dreams and live fulfilling lives.
My Mission
My mission as a transformational life coach is to inspire and empower people to overcome challenges and live their best lives. I aim to use my own life experience as a woman with one leg to demonstrate that anything is possible, regardless of physical limitations or adversity. Through my coaching, I will help people unlock their potential and develop the resilience and mindset needed to achieve their goals.
My Vision
My vision is to create a world where people are not held back by their circumstances, but instead, use their challenges as a catalyst for growth and transformation. I envision a world where everyone has access to the tools and resources needed to develop a positive mindset and overcome obstacles, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
