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.

What’s up, you guys—welcome back to Unscripted with your girl Jess Burgio! Today I’ve got my new friend Ati Grinspun on the mic, and let me tell you… this convo is fire. 🔥

Ati’s story is wild. From being a world-champion flair bartender on the Las Vegas strip to running her own photography studio to now helping women find clarity and confidence in their brands—she’s lived the pivots most of us only dream (or fear) making. And she’s proof that clarity really is the new currency.

In this episode, we dig into:

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a career, scared to pivot, or unsure how to show up as your full self—this one is for YOU. Ati’s story will remind you that you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start showing up as the real you.

👉 Connect with Ati on Instagram @ati.grinspun and check out her upcoming Be You Brand Live event for women ready to step into their next level.

And as always, if this episode hits home, share it with a friend and tag me on IG @jessicaburgio—I love hearing what lands for you!
