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.

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.
All I can say is WHOA!!! This podcast has me literally blown away! Jess is your no holds barred, tell it straight, sister from another mother🙌🏽I haven’t come across an episode that I haven’t absolutely loved! This podcast has me digging deep on a level I didn’t even know exist. Listen, save, and repeat!
I loved this last episode!! I’m sure there are many people listening who struggled with having a relationship with God, or don’t know where to start or think they have to be perfect to come to him.. but really God wants us in all our mess! Trust! I’ve been there growing up in church it’s a struggle! but having God in my life is better then going without him I’ve tried it my way and it never works! God always give us what we want so we can truly see it wasn’t what we REALLY wanted! As I’m listening I’m like where is my Hillary! Or am I her? Lol Having a sister in Christ to go to things with or discuss is probably the most encouraging thing to have! But at times God will have us in seasons as he did David in the Bible where he encouraged himself to get through! Keep going up J! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Jessica is an excellent host and I highly recommend anyone who finds themselves stuck in life to listen to The Stranded Phase podcast!
