Jessica Evans knows a thing or two about following her own path. In her debut memoir, Fade to Light, How I Learned to Dissolve Darkness, she chronicles her journey of self-discovery after deciding to leave the closed religious society in which she grew up.

Away from her family and alone in "Satan's World," Jessica had to figure out who she really was. Obsessive rock climber? Committed spouse? How about yoga teacher? No, maybe high-performing businessperson was more like it.

Her quest eventually led her to that one thing many of us struggle to ever find... and to which she owes her life.

My conversation with Jessica is for anyone who has ever felt their worth was attached to rules and outcomes, or for anyone struggling to fit into a world that doesn't feel right. Jessica's courage, candour and easy-breezy conversational style had me hooked, as did her book.
