Hey friend! This episode is one of my favorites because it cracks open a hard truth: you’re not stuck. You’re distracted. And when you don’t fully trust yourself yet, distractions can look exactly like opportunities. That’s where discernment comes in.

Here’s what I’m breaking down inside this conversation:

That space between what you say you want… and what you actually choose.

They’re sneaky.

Expansion. Truth. Alignment.

Whether you’re emotional, sacral, splenic, ego, projector, or reflector, your inner guidance is always speaking. Your intuition is your actual strategy.

That sinking feeling? That “oh no… this isn’t what I thought it would be”?

Your Reflection Ritual

Give yourself five minutes and get honest:

This work builds clarity. Clarity builds momentum.

And momentum is exactly where we’re heading next, in Episode 3, where we tap into your 2026 vision.

Welcome back to Unscripted, babe. We’re kicking off a 4-part end-of-year series—the 2026 Clarity + Visibility Series—and we’re starting exactly where all real transformation begins: radical truth.

🔥 The messy middle we all try to avoid

🔥 The identity you must release before 2026

I’m literally recording this from the beach after a full-on downpour, because consistency doesn’t always look perfect—and that’s part of what I want to talk about today.

Lately I’ve been thinking a LOT about what it actually takes to go pro with your vision heading into 2026, and why so many of you keep getting in your own way. You say you’re meant for more, you want visibility, legacy, impact… but you’re still playing small because:

Here’s what I’ve learned through marriage planning, long-distance, parenting through injuries, business highs/lows—and still showing the fuck up:

👉 Your nervous system + habits are your foundation. Without that, every storm knocks you over.

I also get real about Human Design moments (my fellow Manifesting Generators and Projectors—this one’s for you) and why I’m finally reopening my 1:1 coaching spots for high-level thought leaders in 2026.

If you're ready to get visible, build something that actually feels aligned, and have someone help you hold the vision when life is lifing—this episode is for you.

DM me what landed. Tell me the win you’ve been hiding. Ask for help—it’s the biggest flex there is.

Blinders on. Full focus. Let’s f*cking go.

If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll “start fresh in January,” this episode is your wake-up call.

Most high-potential women don’t rest at the end of the year — they retreat.

Meanwhile, the women who rise?

In this raw, honest solo episode, Jessica shares:

•⁠  ⁠Why waiting for January keeps you invisible and stuck

If you’re done hiding, done rehearsing your potential, and ready to actually be seen, this episode will activate you into momentum — right now, not someday.

Ready to become the woman your brand has been waiting for?

You know those days when you’d rather do anything than show up on social media? 🙋‍♀️ Same, friend. But what if creating content didn’t have to feel like a never-ending chore?

This week I sat down with my good friend and storytelling genius Matt Allyn, and wow—this convo lit me up. Matt and I dive deep into the real reasons we resist showing up online and how to completely flip that energy so content becomes something you actually look forward to.

Inside this episode, we chat about:

If you’ve been hiding behind “I hate social media” or stuck overthinking what to post, this is your wake-up call. Matt’s approach to storytelling and growth will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about content creation.

Get ready to laugh, take notes, and maybe even shout a few “OMG YES” moments along the way. Your next level of confidence (and content) starts right here.

This episode is all about the magic of simply showing up. I dropped right in with a  powerful story about my online  friend Lisa—a woman who I’ve never met but have been connected with for years (thanks to this podcast) She attributed listening to my show as a catalyst for her taking. A k control of her life and how she turned a personal setback into a thriving, in-person business, all because she decided to be visible online and take ACTION. Her journey is the perfect reminder that you never know who’s watching, who’s listening, who you might be impacting or who’s about to DM you with an opportunity that could change everything.

I lovingly remind you that visibility beats vanity every time. Forget the follower count, downloads and the story views—what matters is the person on the other side of the screen who needs your story, your perspective, your encouragement. Even if at first it’s only a few people. I shared my personal beliefs on why building a personal brand isn’t about pretty fonts or a perfect feed; it’s more about consistency, connection, and the courage to share your voice even when it feels uncomfortable or awkward.

Fav moments:

I also share a special invitation to my Creative Content Collective Live workshop event happening October 18th in San Diego—a live, in-the-room experience to help you create content, build your brand, and connect with other bold entrepreneurs ready to be seen. YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS!!

Listen in if you’ve ever wondered whether all your effort is worth it, if you’ve been hiding behind perfectionism, or if you just need a little fire lit under you to get back out there. Because every time you speak, post, or publish, you’re building your brand—whether you feel ready or not.

Let’s stay connected:

This is your reminder that your story matters. Your voice matters. And the world is waiting for you to show up.

Hey friends, welcome back to Unscripted! Today’s episode is such a special one because I finally got to sit down with my girl Alexandria Ott—a powerhouse entrepreneur, mama, and community builder who seriously does it all.

Alex’s story is so real and so inspiring. From being bullied in high school to launching her own PR agency in Chicago, to moving back to San Diego and starting over from scratch—she’s proof that you can rebuild, reinvent, and create a life that lights you up. We go deep into what it really takes to start fresh, build community, and protect your creative energy while juggling business and motherhood.

In this episode we cover:

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit in, who’s starting over in a new season, or who just needs a reminder that your voice, your gifts, and your energy matter.

Take a screenshot, share your takeaways, and tag me @jessicaburgio and Alex @alexavott—we’d love to know what lands with you.
