Janeka Jenkins, known to many as Sovereign Jane, is a nurse, life coach, and entrepreneur with a mission rooted in purpose and obedience to her calling. As the founder of Sovereign Thinkers LLC, she specializes in helping high-achieving women overcome trauma, set boundaries, and walk boldly in their truth. For Jenkins, this work is more than a profession — it is divine alignment.
Her journey began in health care, where she trained and served as a registered nurse. In that role, she witnessed the deep emotional pain so many women carry behind their strong exteriors. While caring for the physical needs of her patients, she developed an even greater passion for healing the emotional and spiritual wounds often left untreated. That realization inspired her to step into the role of life coach, using her communication skills, warmth, and sense of humor to create safe spaces for transformation.
‘Sovereign Jane’ keeps ’em laughing
“My superpowers are communicating with people and making them laugh,” Jenkins says. “Making people happy is healing in itself.” These gifts have shaped the way she engages with clients. Whether through one-on-one coaching, speaking engagements, or her online presence, she leads with honesty, empathy, and joy.
Sovereign Thinkers LLC is a coaching platform designed to support women who look successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or burdened on the inside. She equips them with tools for trauma healing, self-awareness, and emotional detachment from toxic relationships. Her approach centers on helping women reclaim their identity, worth, and personal power — something she knows firsthand can be life-changing.
Through her website, boundariesanddetachment.com, Jenkins shares resources, insight, and encouragement for women seeking clarity and confidence. Visitors can also explore her signature services and learn more about her journey. She pairs her knowledge with lived experience, offering mentorship that feels personal and empowering.
As a proud Black woman, Jenkins believes deeply in generational healing. She understands the impact of representation, especially in wellness and coaching industries where Black women are often underrepresented. “It’s important for more experienced Black women to reach back,” she said. “Younger women are the future, and the struggles our ancestors went through gave us all the chance to thrive.”
Jenkins’ biggest inspiration? Toni Morrison. “She made honesty blunt cool,” Jenkins said. That same spirit shows up in her writing. One of her proudest achievements is publishing a bold and risky book that defies expectations. Despite challenges and setbacks, she continues to push forward, committed to sharing stories and perspectives that challenge, entertain, and heal.
How mentors shaped her
Her professional growth has also been shaped by mentors like Lamar Tyler, a respected entrepreneur and digital leader. “He helped shape my mindset and showed me that so many things are possible,” she said. That influence shows in Jenkins’ dedication to consistency. She stays fresh and relevant in a competitive industry by posting daily, remaining engaged, and always leading with intention.
Jenkins also lives by a high standard of customer service. She believes every client should be addressed with respect and timeliness. Whether she is responding to a message or guiding someone through an emotional breakthrough, she shows up with compassion and integrity.
If she could speak to her younger self, Jenkins would say this: “Know your worth and your value.” That powerful truth continues to guide her and fuels the legacy she is building. When asked how she envisions the future, she responds with hope. “I pray for a generation of stronger and wiser young women.”
Jenkins is more than a life coach. She is a vessel of transformation, a voice of healing, and a source of light for women navigating life after trauma. Her work is purposeful, powerful, and deeply personal. With every client she helps and every post she shares, she reminds women that healing is their birthright and happiness is possible.
