Welcome back to a brand-spanking new season of Rich In Real Life! In this episode, I kick things off by addressing the longest personal break in podcasting that I have ever taken since the start of this podcast.
There’s no easy way of saying this, especially when I have built my business & career almost entirely on speaking, but I took the longest podcast break I’ve ever taken because I had completely and utterly lost my voice. I had somehow muted myself for the longest time (for reasons I’ll be sharing in this episode), and it had caused me to feel powerless, inauthentic, unfulfilled, and like I wasn’t enough. I no longer knew who I was.
But not anymore. In this episode, I’m going to talk about how this season of silence has not only affected me but has literally taken over and consumed my relationships and my identity. I talk about the difficult things I had to do to find my voice again, discern between external voices and my own true voice, and finally return to my authentic self.
It’s time we faced whatever it is that’s causing us to silence ourselves because we no longer have to be muted by our circumstances. So join me as I finally break my silence, and I hope my story inspires you to break yours.
KEY POINTS
• How I was completely muted for a year
• The reasons we silence ourselves as women
• Why I sunk into silence and how it has affected myself and my relationships
• How I released my bitterness by going on a Forgiveness Tour
• Shame equals Should: How to release your shame and make space for your voice

This podcast a must listen for sure! Everything I’ve heard so far is inspiring and so satisfying. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! Keep it up! 🙏🏻
I am so thankful for these podcasts. Weather I am driving, in the gym, ending my day, or getting my day started these podcasts motivate me. They tell stories of real people with real stories. It is not only inspiring but hopeful. I am 21 and currently a college/ working student. The last year for me has been very rough in making decisions I thought I never would have. But, even with life’s obstacles I know there is a light at the end of this tunnel. And thanks to Jessica Hurley’s podcasts I can see I am not alone and my light will come.
I discovered the stranded podcast as I was in my stranded phase. It was like God knew I was depressed, and he lead me here. No lie, Jessica has changed my whole outlook of life... Not only does she preach, but she practices what she preaches. She's so real and vulnerable with her content that it just makes you get motivated and snap out whatever is holding you back from becoming great! I highly recommend this podcast to any and everyone needing a little pick me up and ready to make life-changing moves.
BEST podcast ever! My Tuesday go-to! Her 15 min fridays are all the motivation you need!!
