"Everyone's Story is a zig-zag, just not everyone is sharing it that way." Jess Ekstrom's message is powerful. We have the capacity to choose optimism. How we meet our mistakes, failures, and difficult moments can shape not just our future but those of others too! We don't have to know where we are going, but we can focus on what feels light. In this episode I chat with Jess about the power of optimism, silver linings and writing her book, Chasing the Bright Side.
