“When you get your “Who am I?” question right, all the “What should I do?” questions tend to take care of themselves.” - Richard Rohr 

In this episode, Jessica shares her perspective and highlights:

  • The importance of learning to trust yourself and learning the difference between fear and what we know to be true
  • The value of doing the "inner work" and realizing that our most important job is getting to know ourselves, to develop our skill of intuition 

  • Identifying self-trust and learning to access and lead from that place to achieve alignment 

On October 25, 2011, while on a routine field mission in Somalia, working as the Education Advisor for her non-governmental organization, Jessica was abducted at gunpoint and held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates for 93 days. Forced to live outdoors in deplorable conditions, starved, and terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters, Jessica’s health steadily deteriorated until, by order of President Obama, she was rescued by the elite SEAL Team VI on January 25, 2012. Jessica’s ordeal is detailed in her New York Times bestselling book, Impossible Odds: The Kidnapping of Jessica Buchanan and Her Dramatic Rescue by SEAL Team Six. Jessica has been named one of the ‘150 Women Who will Shake the World’ by Newsweek, and her story was the most highly viewed 60 Minutes episode to air, to date. Jessica is a highly sought-after inspirational speaker and her TEDx Pearl Street talk, ‘Change is Your Proof of Life’ has been the foundation for which she travels the world, inspiring audiences to access their resilience by identifying their own autonomy and choice in the middle of their own life-changing event. And in her free time, Jessica can be found hiking mountains worldwide with her husband and two kids. To learn more about Jessica go to jessbuchanan.com and follow her on Instagram @jessicacbuchanan.
