Meet Jax
Hey, I’m Jax — with over 20 years working in the mental wellness and corrections space, plus having some intense life experiences myself, my mission is to make the world a happier, safer, and more peaceful place. And getting there means working together. I am a crisis solver, social worker, mediator, author and trainer. I deep dive into what works for you then give you, your family or your business the tools to make your days calmer, more productive, less frustrating and ultimately seeing the real results that work for you. All while adding in fun and humor!
I'm a tattooed professional with a passion for traveling, hyping other humans, meeting new people and reducing the stigmas that hold us back. I have traveled to all 50 US states (26 of them by myself), have implemented countless programs and run a live show every Monday night at 9pm EST where I highlight diverse humans and talk about intense topics. I live life to the fullest and have extensive experience in many areas, so now I am bringing all my worlds together with Just Jax Advising so you don't have to navigate the challenges of life on your own. Let's heal. Let's grow. Let's succeed. And if we can throw some traveling in as well, that is a bonus! Check out the Work With Jax section for more information on services.
Looking forward to working with you,
Jackie Hallberg, LMSW

You Are Ready for Change
You’ve reached a point where you’re ready to move forward. Jax is here to guide you by specializing in reducing barriers to take those crucial steps towards success. Whether it’s overcoming obstacles, embracing new opportunities, or transforming the way you think about yourself and the world, together, we’ll turn readiness into action and action into meaningful results.
Why Jax May Not be a Good Fit
Drama Is Your Go-to
If you thrive on chaos or constant drama, my approach might feel uncomfortable — because we will focus on solutions, not excuses or feeding the drama. But that discomfort is exactly what helps you break the cycle and won’t last long if you are ready to say goodbye to the things that have held you back. Working with me shifts the focus from conflict to progress, which is where real growth happens.
Investing In Yourself Is Not an Option
If you see investing in yourself as a cost rather than an opportunity, you may hesitate to take the first step. But staying stuck often costs far more in time, energy, and missed opportunities. Jax helps you see that the best investment you can make is in yourself — because when you grow, you open options for everything else in life to bloom as well.
You Are Not Ready for Change
Change can feel intimidating, and it’s easy to think you’re not ready. The truth is you don’t have to be 100% ready to start — you just have to be willing. My role is to meet you where you are and guide you forward at a pace that feels manageable. Often, that first step reveals you were more ready than you realized.
You Would Rather Stay Stressed
Sometimes, stress becomes so familiar that it feels safer to stay in it than to step out of it. If that’s where you are, working with me might feel like a challenge. But imagine how freeing it would be to replace that stress and anxiety with clarity and control. Together, we can turn stress into momentum — and that’s a change worth making.
