Darlande’s journey is one of resilience and purpose. After immigrating from Haiti to America at 13 — not speaking English and facing bullying while adjusting to a new life with her adopted parents — she found strength through adversity.

She went on to specialize in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, earned her RN in 2018, and later became a Director of Nursing leading teams of over 90 staff in Assisted Living and Memory Care. Determined to grow, she expanded into hospital care in Med-Surg, Telemetry, and the Emergency Room, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2024. That same year, she became a certified National IV Instructor, blending her love for teaching with clinical excellence.

Today, through Nurse U2 Wellness, Darlande provides concierge wellness and IV hydration services that combine professionalism, compassion, and convenience — empowering clients to feel their best wherever they are.

This conversation is about faith, resilience, education, and answering your calling.

On the latest episode of the Stories to Create podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Jacquelyn Mosier—a builder, problem-solver, and someone who’s learned to trust her gut, especially when it keeps tapping her on the shoulder about the same issue.

Jacquelyn talks about how ForgeOps didn’t start as a company—it started as a feeling. Over and over, she watched smart, capable teams struggle. Not because they weren’t good at what they did, but because their systems weren’t talking to each other. Information got stuck. Hand-offs fell apart. And things quietly went wrong long before anyone noticed the job was off track.

She could’ve ignored that feeling. A lot of people do. But she didn’t. She leaned into it—and trusted the right people to help her build something better.

That leap led to ForgeOps, where she’s now Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer. ForgeOps is creating a job coordination operating system that lives where construction meets operations. Jacquelyn’s role covers revenue, partnerships, positioning, and investor relationships—but for her, it’s about more than numbers. It’s about protecting the vision and making sure what they build actually works in the real world.

She also shares about Jack-IT Consulting, another company she founded to help businesses cut through the tech noise, choose the right tools, and actually use them. No shelfware. No overcomplicated systems. Just tech that does what it’s supposed to do.

What really drives her?

• Seeing patterns others miss
• Building with intention
• Choosing people over ego
• Turning intuition into real, working systems

Jacquelyn believes the best companies are built when leaders really listen—to the data, to the people in the field, and to themselves.

In this episode, she also opens up about growing up in a small town called Shelbyville, Illinois, navigating challenges within her family, and eventually moving to Florida to escape the cold and start fresh.

If you’re building something meaningful, figuring things out as you grow, or wrestling with problems that don’t have easy answers—this conversation is for you.
