Meet Lakeisha Dixon Jones | Master Life & Professional Coach & Baker

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lakeisha Dixon Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lakeisha, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Nearly 12 years ago, I embarked on this journey because I felt a strong calling from God. I knew He was leading me to something greater. I had tried college three times, but it just didn’t feel like the right path for me. I also realized that earning $10 an hour wasn’t enough to support the life I envisioned. Deep down, I knew I was meant for greatness, even though I wasn’t sure how to get there.

I vividly remember God speaking to me, assuring me that He would use my voice. Shortly after, I released my first book, The Victorious State of Mind, and soon after that, I was introduced to coaching. Now, almost 12 years later—and 11 years since leaving my corporate job—I’m grateful to be thriving in my God-given purpose. With unwavering commitment and consistency, I’ve grown into a Master Life Coach and established an online bakery, Savory & Sweet Treats. It’s been a rewarding journey of faith and perseverance, and I’m grateful for every step.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Breakthrough Coaching and Leadership Academy (BCLA) was birthed in 2013 out of a deep passion to see women empowered in purpose, power, prayer, and profitability. I wanted to create a space where women, regardless of background or education level, could discover their God-given gifts and dominate in their respective industries—whether it’s in boardrooms, warehouses, hospitals, or creative spaces. My goal was to teach women how to break through limitations and win, even if they weren’t considered the “smartest cookie” in the room.

Through BCLA, we have built confidence, healed hearts, facilitated promotions, saved souls, and prepared women for advancement. With hundreds of women personally coached and thousands more impacted, we’ve witnessed women rise above obstacles and emerge as C-suite executives, administrators, CEOs, business owners, and creatives. Our brand reaches the core of a woman’s spirit, transforming her into a warrior of worth and worship, and a winner in every aspect of her life.

Our business is built on the pillars of integrity, care, Christ, and love. I am deeply passionate about what I do because I know the impact it has on others’ lives. One of my greatest challenges came on January 1, 2023, when I experienced the devastating loss of my first child through miscarriage at the age of 43. That moment was incredibly painful, especially after the joy of becoming pregnant for the first time. However, God used that season of grief to birth a new chapter in my life—through baking.

I turned to baking homemade pound cakes and cookies as a way to heal. In that process, a new business was born, one where I coach and heal through baking. The pain I endured gave me the strength to create something meaningful out of my grief, allowing me to connect with others on a deeper level. Baking became more than a skill—it became a ministry, a way to extend love, comfort, and healing to others. God knew this journey would be part of my story, and I now teach others how to bake as part of their healing process.

What sets me apart is the holistic experience I offer. When you’re in my presence, you feel safe, heard, and valued. Whether it’s through coaching or baking, I offer a space of confidentiality, prayer, and support. When clients pick up a cake, I take time to listen to their hearts, and if they need it, I offer prayer. It’s not just business—it’s ministry, and that’s what makes my brand unique.

The journey has not always been easy. I’ve faced challenges, but I’ve learned to take each day as it comes and to embrace being a lifelong learner. I study God’s Word, refine my craft, and use my gifts to build legacy and help heal others. My story, my brand, and my work are all deeply rooted in faith, resilience, and a commitment to impact lives through coaching and baking.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Day 1: Southern Flavors and City Vibes
We’d kick things off with a delicious lunch at South City Kitchen in Midtown, known for its modern take on classic Southern cuisine. After lunch, we’d head over to Ponce City Market for dessert at Five Daughters Bakery, indulging in their famous 100-layer doughnuts. While there, we’d stop into Williams-Sonoma to explore their kitchen essentials and gourmet finds.

Day 2: Perfume and Panoramic Views
Tuesday would be a day of creativity and fun. We’d start with a perfume-making class at Le’Creme, where we’d craft our own custom fragrances. For lunch, we’d head to 6 Feet Under and enjoy rooftop dining with stunning views. Afterward, it’s time for some retail therapy at **Atlantic Station**, soaking up the sunshine while browsing the shops.

Day 3: A Taste of History and Fun
Wednesday, we’d start our morning at Breakfast Boys in College Park for an unforgettable brunch experience. Then, we’d head to downtown Atlanta to visit the World of Coca-Cola, learning the history behind this iconic brand and enjoying some tastings. We’d wrap up the day with a ride on the SkyView Ferris Wheel, taking in panoramic views of the city skyline.

Day 4: Pampering and Dining
Thursday would be all about relaxation and a little bit of luxury. We’d start with breakfast at Snooze, known for its creative twists on classic breakfast dishes. Then, we’d head to Phipps Plaza for some upscale shopping and leisurely walking. Afterward, we’d indulge in a foot massage at Treat Your Feet, one of Atlanta’s best spots for rejuvenation. For dinner, we’d head to 2 Urban Licks, where we’d enjoy their famous salmon chips and sip on a cocktail in a vibrant, industrial-chic atmosphere.

Day 5: Wellness and Nightlife
Friday would begin with a stop at The Vitamin Lady Herb Shop, where we could explore herbal remedies and wellness products. Lunch would be a Southern BBQ feast at Fox Bros. BBQ, a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic barbecue. That evening, we’d head to Euro Atlanta for a night of dancing and fun, closing out the week with good music and great vibes.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a heartfelt shout-out to my incredible support system—my husband, son, mom, aunties, sister, best friend, and close sister friends. Your love, encouragement, and unwavering support have meant the world to me.

I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to my mentors and supporters who have been nothing short of exceptional. Your guidance has been instrumental in my journey. There are too many names to list, but please know that every one of you has played a vital role in undergirding my pursuit of excellence. I am profoundly grateful for each and every hand that helped lift me up along the way.
