Yup, Jess is back! And she has some quick updates on life and business complimented by a vague explanation of what this podcast is going to become. 

In her time away, Jess was able to build her personal business and develop an idea for a brand that would support women like her who are in seasons of singleness. No one wants to feel like they're waiting on something to happen for them, so she's determined to help women wait well as they live right now.

Interested? Stick around over the next few months as Jess begins to explain more about her new adventure. In the meantime, Jess is not actively on the 'Gram, but you can follow her @itsjessmadison for when she shows up!

Ever wonder what its like to miss your bus stop then have to drag your suitcase along tiny Irish roads for over a mile? No? Well, Jess has lived this story and shares about how it and other travel experiences shaped her today. She also fills you in on what she's been up to, how her website, business endeavors are going, and what you can expect on the podcast in the next few episodes! 💖

The big takeaway: The value in the phrase “I don’t know” comes from the freedom you have to learn from your mistakes.

Well, friends. Poor audio quality on my end aside, this episode is 🔥! My dear friend, Kendall Linnenkamp, joined me to discuss wellness, travel, and how those things affect us all. Her voice is the one you really need to hear anyways, so I'm glad she came through and hung in with me, technical glitches and all!
