What happens when a 6-foot-tall Canadian woman travels to 60+ countries, falls in love with doctors across three continents, and develops the rare ability to authentically connect with anyone, anywhere? You get Jessica Brighton-Field—Europe's top female speaker of 2022 and a self-described "vulnerable, messy, and smelly" woman on a mission to help others embrace their authentic selves.

Jessica doesn't just talk about transformation—she's lived it. From narrowly escaping taxi scams in Costa Rica to discovering surprising friendships in Egypt, her global adventures have shaped her unique approach to communication and human connection. With refreshing candor, she shares how her journey began with a psychosomatic back problem that sent her searching for healers around the world but evolved into something much more profound: the freedom to not care what others think.

As Vice President of Barcelona's Women's Network, Jessica offers fascinating insights into expatriate communities and the challenges of building a business in a culture that prioritizes lifestyle over wealth. Her experience working with companies like Amazon, Shell, and Airbnb reveals the stark differences between North American and European communication styles, and how women can navigate these differences authentically.

Jessica's perspective on imposter syndrome is revolutionary: women feel like imposters in professional spaces because "we were not socialized to compete with men." Rather than advising women to adapt to male-dominated environments, she encourages them to embrace their unique strengths while challenging men to do some adapting of their own. Her refreshing take on self-image—aim for "self-like" rather than the often unattainable "self-love"—gives listeners permission to be imperfect while still pursuing their passions.

Ready to dance badly, speak authentically, and embrace your messy, beautiful self? Jessica's wisdom will inspire you to stop living for the male gaze and start living for yourself—chins, belly, and all.
