Meet Jessica

I'm Jess, and I've built my life on doing scary shit.

​

In 2016, I was living the "right" life in NYC fashion corporate. Good job, climbing the ladder, all the external success. But I was tired and deeply unfulfilled. After my first coaching session, I did something that terrified me—I quit my job and moved to Florida, turning down a similar position because I knew it wouldn't fix what was really wrong.

Instead, I took a starting position at a small fashion brand, doing something completely different. Was I scared? Fucking terrified. Did I do it anyway? Absolutely.

​

That courage led to being recruited for employee experience at a fintech company—another leap into an area where I had zero experience. Over 6.5 years, I grew into management, led a team of five, and developed award-winning wellness initiatives for over 1,600 employees. I learned that individual courage and organizational culture are two sides of the same coin—people need personal bravery AND workplaces that support it.

​

Then came my biggest "scared but did it anyway" moment. During a pandemic, I became a mom and made the difficult decision to leave an unfulfilling relationship to become a single parent. If there's something you should know about me, it's that I lead with courage, not comfort.

 

My clarity moment came while leading a corporate initiative about core values and purpose. As I completed the exercises myself, I finally understood my misalignment—and saw the same disconnect in many of my colleagues. I realized I could help both individuals find their courage AND organizations create cultures that support brave action. That's when I became certified as a coach and redefined what success truly means to me.

​

Now I help in two ways:

 

For women who want to make big moves but are paralyzed by fear—I help you find the courage to stop talking yourself out of what you want and start moving toward it.

​

For organizations ready to move beyond surface-level wellness programs—I help you build strategic initiatives that give teams practical tools for difficult conversations, boundary-setting, and brave leadership.

​

As a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), and former Employee Experience Manager, I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to our work.

​

Here's what I know from my journey and from helping others make their big, scary moves:

• Overthinking is the enemy of action

• Fear doesn't go away—you just learn to do shit anyway

• The voice in your head making excuses is full of bullshit

• There's power in having someone call you out when you're talking yourself out of what you want

• Making the scary move is almost always worth it

• Courage is contagious—when one person gets brave, it gives others permission to do the same

​

Whether you're a woman ready to make your big move or a leader wanting to build a braver workplace culture, I get it. I've been there. And I can help you find the courage to do it anyway.
