How bad do you actually want the thing you keep saying you want? Because wanting it and being willing to stay with it when it gets boring, inconvenient, quiet, or uncomfortable are two completely different things.

Join me as I share my thoughts about the part of building something meaningful that nobody really celebrates: the random Tuesdays when nobody’s clapping and you have zero proof that any of it is working.

In this episode, I’m getting into:

You do not need to know how the entire thing works out…

You need to be willing to make the next move, put in the reps, let people watch you figure it out, and keep building before there’s undeniable proof that it’s working.

Because you don’t get to episode 400 without recording episode 48 first.

The right room can change your business, but not because you collected a stack of business cards. It’s the real conversations, genuine relationships, and willingness to actually put yourself in the room that create opportunities you could never plan for.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Bri Norberg, founder of Powered by Women, to talk about what it actually looks like to build a community where women can connect, grow, and stay in business together.

We get into:

We also talk about Powered by Women LIVE, what makes this event different, and why Bri is so intentional about creating a space where women can actually connect beyond the surface.

If there’s one thing I keep learning over and over again, it’s that we were never meant to build all of this alone. Sometimes your next client, collaborator, best friend, or big idea is sitting in a room you almost talked yourself out of entering.

If this conversation made you realize you need to get in the room, come join us at Powered by Women LIVE, happening September 25–27, 2026 at the Sacramento State University Ballroom.

It’s Northern California’s biggest party for women in business. Three days where business gets done and friendships get made, with no boring moments and no surface-level small talk.

Here’s what the weekend looks like:

I’ll be there speaking on the Visibility to Sales panel, and I would LOVE to see you in the room.

This is for the woman who’s done going it alone and is ready to be seen, supported, and surrounded by women who actually get it. Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been building for years, this is the kind of room where the right conversation can change everything.

400 episodes.

Almost six years behind this microphone.

And the biggest thing I know now? Starting over does not mean starting from zero.

There is something incredibly humbling about becoming a beginner again when you already know what it feels like to be successful. You’ve built the career. You’ve made the money. You’ve earned the reputation. You know what it feels like to walk into a room and know exactly what the fuck you’re doing.

Then you decide you want something different.

Suddenly you’re comparing chapter one of your new life to chapter twenty of the one you already mastered, wondering why you aren’t better at this yet.

In this milestone episode, I’m talking about what six years and 400 episodes have taught me about starting again, building authority, staying in the game when nobody is clapping yet, and giving your work enough time to actually compound.

Because compounding rarely feels impressive while it’s happening. It feels like recording another episode, posting another piece of content, walking into another room, having another conversation and continuing to show up when you have very little evidence that any of it is working.

Until one day, you look around and realize it did.

This weekend, I got to experience one of those moments.

And it reminded me that consistency doesn’t just build an audience.

Consistency builds options.

If you’re in the middle of a career pivot, building a personal brand, stepping into a new industry, starting a podcast, or wondering whether you’re too late to become known for something new, this episode is for you.

You may be new here.

But you are not new.

Everything you’ve lived comes with you.

400 down. 3,600 to go.

I’ll see you at 4,000.

Here's why the Best Investments Rarely Make Sense at First

You've probably heard the phrase, "Your network is your net worth."

But I think it's deeper than that.

Looking back at nearly 400 podcast episodes, every major opportunity in my life can be traced back to one decision: walking into a room I almost didn't.

In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on the mentors, conversations, investments, and relationships that completely changed the trajectory of my life and business.

Because what changed me wasn't another strategy.

It was proximity.

If you've been waiting until you feel ready to invest in yourself, start your podcast, launch your business, or step into a bigger room...

This is your reminder that confidence usually comes after the decision.

Sometimes the life you're dreaming about is just one room away.

Sometimes the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't fear... it's the story you've gotten really good at believing.

In this episode, I sat down with my longtime friend and mentor, Lindsey Marie, for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about growth, visibility, self-expression, and the sneaky ways we keep ourselves playing small.

If you've been sitting on an idea, waiting for the perfect time, or wondering if you're really meant for more... maybe this is the conversation you've been needing.

Because sometimes the next version of you is just one brave decision away.

If this conversation resonated with you, don't let it stop here.

The Powerhouse Women Event is a transformational 3-day experience in Scottsdale, Arizona, where ambitious women from around the world come together to connect, grow, and turn big dreams into action.

Built on the belief that community is at the heart of growth, you'll experience inspiring speakers, meaningful conversations, and the kind of support that reminds you you're not meant to build your life or business alone.

What if the discomfort you've been feeling isn't a sign you're on the wrong path, but proof you're growing into the life you've been asking for?

In this episode, I share about something we don't hear enough in entrepreneurship IMO: building the capacity to hold more success without letting overwhelm convince us we're failing… I’m sure you can relate. 

Maybe this season isn't asking you to do more. Maybe it's simply asking you to become more. Because the woman who can hold the life she's been praying for isn't built overnight, she's built one brave decision at a time.

You've read the books.

You've listened to the podcasts.

You've invested in yourself.

So why do you still feel stuck?

In this episode, I sit down with somatic practitioner Jalena Tesanovich for an honest conversation about nervous system healing, self-abandonment, childhood conditioning, and why lasting transformation starts from within.

Together, we explore why so many high-achieving women learn to override their intuition, ignore what their bodies are trying to tell them, and unknowingly repeat the same patterns in their relationships, businesses, and everyday lives.

If you've been wondering why you keep repeating the same patterns, saying yes when you want to say no, or feeling disconnected from yourself despite doing "all the work," this conversation is going to meet you exactly where you are.

Because the next level of your life isn't built by abandoning yourself one more time.

It's built by finally listening.

What if the thing you're chasing isn't actually what you need?

This week, I had one of those moments that completely shifted how I think about personal branding, content, and the opportunities we spend so much time trying to create.

Your reputation isn't built overnight. It's built one conversation, one decision, and one act of consistency at a time. The opportunities you're hoping for may already be on their way, you just have to keep becoming the person they're looking for.

I thought I was recording an episode about podcast pitching.

Instead, it turned into a conversation about something so much bigger.

After thinking through a few ideas that had been coming together for me lately, I realized why so many podcast pitches miss the mark. It's not because people aren't qualified or don't have a great story. It's because they're focused on pitching themselves instead of pitching a conversation.

And honestly, this goes far beyond podcasting.

I see entrepreneurs making this mistake all the time. We spend so much time talking about what we do that we forget to explain why it matters. We lead with the podcast, the book, the coaching program, or the business, when what people really care about is where those things can help them get.

If you're trying to grow your personal brand, get invited onto more podcasts, or create more opportunities for yourself, I think this episode will give you a different way to think about authority and visibility.

After you listen, send me a DM on Instagram @thejessicaburgioshow and tell me one podcast you've always wanted to be a guest on. Maybe this is the week you finally hit send.

What if the thing holding you back isn't your strategy... but the version of yourself you're still trying to protect?

In this episode, I'm sharing one of my most personal conversations yet and the shifts that completely changed the way I think about building a personal brand, showing up online, and creating the life I actually want.

Your past isn't something you're meant to carry forever. It's something you're meant to build from. The moment you stop hiding is the moment everything starts to change.
