  • Why Podcasting Changes Everything: How to Build Thought Leadership, Opportunity & a Personal Brand That Scales
    Jan 8 2026

    Okay, so we’re bringing this one BACK.

    This episode was one of the highest-downloaded episodes of 2025, and with so many new listeners stepping into the Unscripted community, it felt like the perfect time to re-upload this conversation for 2026. If you’ve already listened… listen again. If this is your first time here, WELCOME. This one hits differently.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down why podcasting has been the single biggest catalyst for my growth, personally, professionally, financially, energetically… all of it. Truly. Podcasting changed my network, my confidence, my opportunities, and the way I see what’s possible for my life and business.

    I’m sharing the exact mindset shifts and lessons I wish I had embraced sooner. From starting before you feel ready, to using your voice as a long-term asset, to positioning yourself as a thought leader without needing permission or a massive following first

    We talk about:

    • Why you don’t “suck”, you’re just a beginner (and that’s allowed)
    • How podcasting builds the strongest personal brand possible
    • Why authenticity isn’t optional anymore, it’s your edge
    • The power of guesting for reach, credibility, and community
    • How consistency (not perfection) is what actually creates momentum
    • Why podcasting opens doors you didn’t even know existed yet

    If you’ve ever felt called to share your voice, build something bigger than your current role, or create opportunities that future-you will thank you for. This episode is your nudge.

    This is for the multi-passionate creatives. The service providers ready to expand. The entrepreneurs who know there’s more.

    And if you’re sitting there thinking, “I don’t want a podcast… but something about this feels relevant” Trust me. Listen anyway.

    I see you. I’m proud of you. And I promise, your voice matters more than you think.

    Let’s dive in. 💥

  • You Can’t Build a New Life From an Old Identity
    Jan 1 2026

    You can’t build a new life from an old identity — and most people keep trying anyway. In this first episode of 2026, Jess breaks down the real reason so many women feel “stuck,” inconsistent, or perpetually on the edge of their next level: they’re asking for new outcomes while protecting an old version of themselves. This isn’t a motivational reset.

    It’s an identity activation. We talk about:

    • Why confidence is built through action, not mindset
    • How waiting for the “right time” quietly kills momentum
    • The difference between potential and embodiment
    • Why your current circumstances don’t get to decide your future
    • The question that should guide your actions every single day in 2026

    If you’ve done the journaling, listened to the podcasts, and still feel like something hasn’t clicked yet — this episode is the missing piece.

    This is your permission to stop waiting.

    To move differently.

    To become the woman you keep saying you’re ready to be.

    If this episode hit — if something in you feels activated but not fully mobilized yet — this is your moment to stop trying to figure it out alone.

    I’m opening a 3-month private container for women who are ready to stop circling their next level and start living it. This is for you if:

    • you know you’re capable of more but haven’t moved yet
    • you’re done waiting for confidence to show up first
    • you want clarity, momentum, and accountability — not more content

    Inside this container, we focus on identity, visibility, action, and execution so you leave with real movement, not just insight.

    This isn’t about motivation.

    It’s about becoming the woman who moves when she decides.

    If you feel the nudge, trust it. DM me to connect (add my IG link: https://www.instagram.com/jessicaburgio/)

  • The 2026 Visibility Formula: Exactly How to be Seen, Heard, and Paid Next Year
    Dec 25 2025

    This is the final episode in our four-part confidence series, and today is all about activation.

    Because here’s the truth I want you to hear loud and clear: Confidence is not a personality trait. It’s a result. And that result comes from taking action… consistently.

    If you’ve listened to episodes one through three, you’ve already done the hardest work. You told the truth. You clarified your vision. You identified your boundaries, non-negotiables, and what no longer fits. Now it’s time to move. Because clarity without movement changes nothing.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how to turn clarity into momentum as we head into 2026 without burnout, without perfection, and without waiting to feel “ready.”

    Here’s what we dive into:

    Why confidence is built through reps, not motivation You don’t wake up confident. You earn it by showing up again and again, even when it’s uncomfortable, messy, or imperfect. Visibility works the same way. Momentum dies the moment consistency disappears.

    Why consistency is the real momentum creator Motivation comes and goes. Consistency is non-negotiable. Whatever level of consistency you’re willing to commit to is the speed at which your life and business will grow.

    Choosing where you’ll be visible in 2026 You don’t need to be everywhere. You need to be intentional. I walk you through how to choose:

    • One primary visibility platform
    • One secondary platform And how to stack them in a way that actually builds trust, authority, and a personal brand you own.

    Visibility pathways that actually work We talk through different ways to be seen and how to choose what aligns with your strengths:

    • Hosting your own podcast
    • Guesting on other people’s podcasts
    • Speaking on stages or panels
    • Writing and thought leadership
    • Hosting events or building community (online or in person)

    Visibility isn’t about copying someone else’s strategy. It’s about choosing a lane you can stay in.

    Why non-negotiables are identity anchors, not resolutions Your non-negotiables are the micro-actions that create momentum. They are how your future identity becomes real. Not someday, but now.

    I ask you to reflect on:

    • What would the future version of me do every single week without fail? Those actions become your anchors.

    The power of support and why you can’t do this alone If you want to go far, you need support. Mentors, community, accountability, being supported means being resourced. And resourced women are unstoppable.

    When you’re supported, you’re less likely to quit. You stay in the game. And that changes everything.

    Journal prompts I leave you with:
    • What are my three non-negotiables for January?
    • What visibility action am I taking first?
    • What will keep me consistent when motivation drops?
    • Who do I need support from in 2026?
    • What identity am I activating today?

    Because identity is something you can turn on. And it’s time.

    This episode, and this entire series, is your reminder that you are closer than you think. You don’t need a new year to begin again. You just need to choose to show up.

    This is your year to be seen. Let’s go.
