Behind The Smile with Ash Butterss

Ep 86. Owning Your Sobriety, with Jess Jackson


Listen Later

In this studio episode, I sit down with Jess Jackson, a meditation teacher and founder of the Bondi born skincare brand 'Good Living Only'.


Jess talks openly about her initial hesitation towards sobriety and the challenges she faced in accepting her new lifestyle. She also reflects on the experiences that led her to make this transformative decision and how making the decision to truly own her sobriety has freed her from the shame she once felt.


We also explore her move to Sydney, her Singapore setback, and the role meditation plays in her life. Jess emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself, communicating boundaries, and focusing on self-care practices.


Some of the key topics covered include:

  • Grounding Yourself - 7:40

  • External Validation - 13:10

  • Band-Aid Fix - 22:47

  • Embracing Change - 31:21

  • Stepping into a New Identity - 36:00
