We spend so much time getting to know others when we should be getting to know ourselves first. 

In this episode, Jessica talks about accepting her depression and anxiety, reconciling with her childhood trauma, evolving with her partner through 14 years together, and how running became a vital part of her life. Through her struggles, Jessica realized that her whole life was overshadowed by her anger. Her anger stemmed from her Dad's actions that ultimately broke her family apart when she was a kid. She had to figure out how to feel again. 

Jessica is an avid runner, dog mom and a LA Marathon ambassador. She uses her platform on social media to advocate for mental health through the running community and her own personal struggles with depression.
