Join me in this very down to earth conversation with my friend and colleague, Jess Landon as we chat about her journey into recovery, pregnancy, motherhood, spirituality and so much more! 

More About Jessica:

Jessica Landon had a successful career in acting in her early 20’s, Guest Starring on Comedy Central’s MADtv, Robot Chicken, Jamie Foxx Sketch Comedy Show, Nickelodeon’s Drake & Josh, Lions Gate’s Drive Thru and NBC’s Medical Investigations. After getting sober, she opened up about her past on social media and quickly became known for her harrowing story of addiction and redemption. She is now a Writer, Certified HeartMath Resilience Coach, Recovery Coach, Speaker and new Mom. She posed for Playboy and Perfect 10 magazine, partied with Hugh Hefner and created what she thought was a glamorous life. It all came at a cost. When she was 26 years old, well into her acting career, she spiraled into a full-blown non-functioning alcoholic; destroying all of her relationships and her career. After surviving many tussles with death, including a brain hemorrhage in 2013, she was finally able to overcome her addiction; fully embracing a life of forgiveness, gratitude, love and sobriety. Turning her life around in 2014, she made it her mission to end the stigma and shame that surround addiction and help those still struggling. Her harrowing journey has since been published in news outlets across the globe: The Daily Mail, Fox News, Yahoo, The Sun, The Mirror, LAD Bible, Popculture, Blast, Newsweek and news outlets in other countries from Egypt to Chile, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Australia. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her fiancé and 9 month old baby boy. She has recently finished writing her memoir, HUMAN ON FIRE.
