Hi, I’m Jessie Sackett — founder of A LTL Piece of Advice

Engineer by background. MBA by design. Hobby hunter, solo traveler, and passionate believer that the smallest moments often carry the most insight.
I started A LTL Piece of Advice during a personal career pivot — not just to document the transition, but to celebrate the in-between: the clarity that comes from slowing down, trying something new, and trusting your gut. This blog is where I share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) across three pillars I care deeply about: Lifestyle, Travel & Leisure — or as I like to call it, LTL.
👩💻 Career Snapshot
My professional roots are in engineering and operations, where I led large-scale, high-stakes projects that demanded precision, leadership, and resilience. After a layoff, I leaned into what was next: finishing my MBA, consulting on strategic initiatives, and embracing a more holistic version of success — one that includes creative expression, community, and adventure.
I now balance technical problem-solving with a more human-centered approach to leadership, self-discovery, and intentional living.
✈️ What You’ll Find on the Blog

✨ Why “A LTL Piece of Advice”?
The name reflects the focus of this space: sharing thoughtful, real-world insight across Lifestyle, Travel, and Leisure. My goal? To offer bite-sized wisdom for anyone building a life with heart, intention, and maybe just a little chaos in the mix.
