Jexsaida Flores is a Self Love Coach, speaker, and community builder dedicated to empowering high-achieving moms and women in reclaiming their identity, confidence, and self-worth—especially within motherhood and leadership. As the founder of Fierce LeadHerShip LLC and the Sister Circle Collective, she has cultivated spaces that bridge the gap between personal development, mental wellness, and community healing.
Her work centers on helping ambitious mothers and women heal their shit, build self-love, and step into their full power. Through high-touch coaching, immersive circles, and deeply intentional programs—such as Self Love Academy—Jexsaida leads women through transformational experiences rooted in self-love, mindset shifts, and spiritual embodiment.
With a background in corporate leadership and a deeply personal journey of overcoming chaos, burnout, and a loss of identity to motherhood and marriage, she now teaches women how to build themselves up again after feeling lost in life, balance career and motherhood, and create freedom and fulfillment through Self-Love practices. She is also leading the way in integrating digital wealth strategies into her work, helping women break generational cycles and achieve financial freedom as an act of Self-Love.
Jexsaida’s impact extends beyond her coaching and circles—she is a sought-after speaker, a fierce advocate for women’s mental health and leadership, and a visionary for a world where women thrive holistically, unapologetically, and abundantly.
If you’re a Latina or woman of color who is career-driven, a mother, and ready to reclaim your identity and financial power, Jexsaida is the mentor and guide you’ve been searching for.

Jexsaida also talks about the transition from traditional work to entrepreneurship, the challenges she faced along the way, and how she’s learned to prioritize self-care without guilt.
Through her story, she highlights the value of emotional support, honest communication, and surrounding yourself with community—especially when you’re balancing motherhood, career growth, and personal healing.
