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

I enjoyed it, and loved the part where you spoke about envisioning yourself reaching that goal, how you want to feel, and what it will look like! Def a must! Not to mention putting out what you want to receive this universe is for you once you understand you are in control! Keep it up you’ve got a forever listener !
I appreciate Jessica’s authenticity. I just started listening to her podcast and follow her on IG. I don’t have friends that are like minded that I feel I can talk to or seek advice, so listening is so refreshing. I like how she shares her own experiences and the advice that she’s learning along the way. I’m excited to where your journey takes her. I will definitely going back to listen to her previous podcasts.
Jessica has great content in her podcast. I’d recommend this to not only women but men as well.
This episode was a TOTAL reality check for myself, very real and very eye opening! Keep doing your thing Jessica, I love your podcast!
