Whew! I can’t say enough about how blessed I am to have found this podcast and this WOMAN last year. It was LITERALLY the catapult into success, self empowerment, self awareness, and self belief that I needed. She covers the real stuff, the relevant stuff, she digs deep, she makes you dig deep and she spares NOTHING. She lays it all on the table and really wakes you up and forces you to look deep within and learn how to live your life unapologetically! Listening to, meeting, and now working with her has lit a fire in me I never knew I had and has introduced me to a world of like minded women, professionals, and empowerment! This community has become my lifeline and it is ALL thanks to this Angel of a woman. If you don’t know, now you know! ❤️
I’ve personally been in this same space before after 8 years and choosing to walk away from it all for many of the same reasons. One of the hardest things to do but I knew it was ultimately best for me and for him as well. ❤️ Your soul knows best when you listen to it outside of your heart & mind.
I love how after listening to these episodes it gets me to reflect on myself more and more. I love how raw Jessica is and what I’m feeling others have experienced. It makes me feel that I’m not alone. I absolutely loved this Episode 4 Reasons Why You Might Be Blocking Your Blessings. It’s funny because I was conversing with my BF and telling him how stuck I feel and than I seen that she posted this Episode. Talk about Devine timing :). I know what my goals are and my dreams but I’m stuck in this “How” phase and I keep harping on it. Harping on it isn’t going to help me any I just have to move and it’ll all come together eventually. I really felt this Episode was for me and gave me clarity. Now it’s time for me to take Action. ❤️
One of the highlights of my week is to hear from Jessica’s transparent insights into personal development! She keeps it fun and drops so many gems in terms of shifting your mindset and unlocking your greatest potential!! I’ve learned so much and I’m so grateful for The Stranded Podcast! ❤️
