Build Your Personal Board of Directors: The Seat Swap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can carry the work by yourself. But you were never built to carry the thinking alone. What This Episode Is Really About Jess went to a local networking event on building a personal board of directors and got stuck on the very first worksheet. Not because she lacked courage to ask for help, but because she couldn't name what she needed in the first place. This episode is about that gap: the space between knowing something's missing and being able to put it into a sentence you could hand to an
The Advice Wasn't Wrong. (Your Conditions Were Different) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's the thing nobody tells you about the week your life falls apart. It doesn't wait for a good week to do it. The week before Jess closed on her current house, her son Thomas had his first SVT episode, a cardiac event where his heart rate hit 300. In the same stretch, her COO role fell apart after she asked for an accommodation for his new medical needs and was told it wasn't possible. Cardiac event, job loss, and a house closing, all stacked inside about a week. What she got from the people
Before You Buy the Membership (Check These Three Things) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don't need to be the smartest person in the room you paid to join. If you are, that's not a compliment. That's a diagnosis of the room. Memberships are the new courses. Every offer that used to be a PDF and a login is now a "community," a "space," a "family." The pitch sounds better because belonging sounds better than information. That doesn't mean it's better. Some of these are genuinely transformative. Some are a Skool group with a countdown timer and nothing underneath it. From the sales
The Last Word Rule (Why Smart People Over-Explain Themselves) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know the moment. Someone asks what you do, you give them one true sentence, and then you keep talking anyway. That's not generosity. That's control. What This Episode Is Really About Jess unpacks a pattern she caught herself in at a networking event. Asked what she does, she answered fully in one sentence: I'm a speaker and a coach. True, complete, done. And then she kept going, circling through I Love Coaching, Big Ideas Made Simple, and every other thread attached to her name, until she la
Rest Isn't Stillness (What High Capacity Brains Actually Need) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rest and stillness are not the same thing, and mixing them up is why a lot of high capacity, fast thinking brains feel like they're bad at resting when they're actually just using the wrong definition. If you've ever finished a beach day, a nap, or an entire weekend of doing nothing and come out the other side feeling more drained than when you started, this one's for you. Somewhere along the way, rest got defined as the absence of activity. Turn the brain off, sit still, do nothing. For some pe
