As a young person, Jessica  spread her wings and left home to pursue her dreams with no financial support. Though it took her attending seven colleges to get her bachelor's degree, she did it. With a commitment to perseverance, she bootstrapped her way to success even after several failed businesses. She's a true inspiration and encourages us to do the same.

She encourages us to have a "no cancellation policy" after prioritizing what you want to show up for. Success looks differently for all of us, and she shares that "you can learn it".  Listen for her big mistake with a client when she was doing everything behind the scenes at one of the businesses she built with zero experience in the industry.

Check out her new book: I Almost Cancelled: Showing Up when Fear Tells You to Stay Home!
