In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Jessica Prudhomme, whom I met during a solo group travel adventure in Croatia last year. Our connection was instant, fueled by shared interests and experiences in the realm of love. Join us as we delve into the less-explored facets of personal growth, where Jessica candidly shares her transformative journey. From navigating the challenges of divorce after marrying her high school sweetheart to rediscovering herself, Jessica reflects on the lessons learned and the untold aspects of her profound self-discovery.

About Jessica Prudhomme 

Jess is a New Yorker working in the payments industry. She balances the corporate grind with her passion for travel, which is how she met Beatrice on a group trip in Croatia in 2022. 

Jess thought she had achieved happily-ever-after when she married her high school sweetheart in 2014, but experienced an epic first heartbreak when her marriage (a 17 year relationship) came undone in 2021. However, the pain of heartbreak propelled her into a journey of healing, growth, and transformation that she wouldn’t trade for anything. She believes that pain and heartbreak can be incredible catalysts for growth, and that even the toughest experiences can transform us into the strongest, most resilient versions of ourselves if we allow them to.
