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 — 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.

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.”

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.

• 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.

Welcome back, friends! This is episode three of my 2026 Clarity + Vision Mini Series, and today we’re getting intentional about your vision, your identity, and the people you’re surrounding yourself with as you move into 2026.

If you’ve listened to the first two episodes, you’ve already done some powerful work. You’ve cleared distractions. You’ve gotten honest about who you are in this season. Now it’s time to declare the vision because your next level is not coming from hustling harder. It’s coming from being in the right rooms, with the right people, who reflect the woman you’re becoming.

This episode is all about:

• Claiming your 2026 identity
• Getting clear on the circle that actually supports that vision
• And recognizing when it’s time to change environments, raise standards, or even build the thing that doesn’t exist yet

You cannot create 2026 results with a 2022 identity.

You can’t step into your next level while staying surrounded by people who live at your old one. And you definitely can’t expand in rooms that make you feel small.

I walk you through a powerful visualization:

• Who is the woman you’re becoming in 2026?
• What does she believe?
• What does she say yes to?
• What does she walk away from?
• Who does she trust and who does she run with?

Because clarity isn’t just about what you’re building. It’s about who you’re becoming while you build it.

We talk about:

• Outgrowing familiar spaces (even when they aren’t “bad”)
• Changing rooms, communities, or industries
• Setting new standards for who gets access to you: clients, collaborators, even family
• And why sometimes the discomfort is the confirmation, not the warning

I also share more of my own pivot, why I changed environments, why it didn’t make sense to other people, and why I knew there was a bigger version of me that needed room to breathe.

Some of the most aligned things in your life won’t already exist.

That might mean:

• Starting the community you wish you had
• Creating the offer past-you desperately needed
• Hosting the event you’ve been waiting for someone else to plan
• Or finally owning the message you want to be known for

If you keep feeling like something’s missing, it’s probably because you’re the one meant to create it.

Grab a pen and sit with these:

1. Who is the 2026 version of me and what does she believe about herself? Write it as if it’s already true.
2. Who are three people I want to be in the room with next year? And how can you get closer to those rooms?
3. What rooms am I outgrowing?
4. What am I meant to build that doesn’t currently exist?

If you’re inspired to share your reflections, you can email them to me. I’d love to spotlight what women are calling in, releasing, and building.

All of this work? It honestly feels like it deserves a retreat.

There is a 2026 Cabo Retreat waitlist open right now, and if you’re craving expansion, clarity, and the kind of space that changes you. You’ll want to get on it.

I’m sending you so much love.

Get in the room.

Send the scary DM.

Build the thing.

And step into 2026 like you mean it.

Let’s go!

Hey friend! This episode is one of my favorites because it cracks open a hard truth: you’re not stuck. You’re distracted. And when you don’t fully trust yourself yet, distractions can look exactly like opportunities. That’s where discernment comes in.

Here’s what I’m breaking down inside this conversation:

That space between what you say you want… and what you actually choose. This gap is where overwhelm, overcommitment, and comparison quietly run your life.

They’re sneaky. They show up as shiny offers, misaligned mentors, comparison spirals, old habits you’ve outgrown, or the simple “let me check my phone real quick.” (Hi, it’s me.)

Expansion. Truth. Alignment. Sometimes scary, yes. But it activates you, not drains you. Your body always knows the difference.

Whether you’re emotional, sacral, splenic, ego, projector, or reflector, your inner guidance is always speaking. Your intuition is your actual strategy.

That sinking feeling? That “oh no… this isn’t what I thought it would be”? Been there. Recently. And it taught me, again, to stop outsourcing my knowing.

Your Reflection Ritual

Give yourself five minutes and get honest:

• What distractions am I choosing over my goals?
• What opportunities have I avoided because they scared me?
• What does expansion feel like in my body?
• What does contraction feel like and where is it showing up?
• What’s one distraction I’m ready to release before the year ends?

This work builds clarity. Clarity builds momentum.

And momentum is exactly where we’re heading next, in Episode 3, where we tap into your 2026 vision.

Welcome back to Unscripted, babe. We’re kicking off a 4-part end-of-year series—the 2026 Clarity + Visibility Series—and we’re starting exactly where all real transformation begins: radical truth. In this episode, I’m inviting you into a full-body honesty check. Not the version of you Instagram wants. Not the version of you from last year. The version of you sitting right here, right now. The one navigating real life, real emotions, real resistance… and real desires. Because if you want to build something real in 2026, you cannot build it on delusion. You can only build it from your truth. Inside this raw, grounded, fully unscripted episode, I break down:

🔥 The messy middle we all try to avoid Shame. Avoidance. Overcompensation. Burnout. I’ve lived it. You’ve lived it. The only way through it is truth.

🔥 The identity you must release before 2026 You cannot carry outdated, misaligned identities into a year you want to transform. We talk about identity deaths, pivots, and letting go of who you used to be.

I’m literally recording this from the beach after a full-on downpour, because consistency doesn’t always look perfect—and that’s part of what I want to talk about today.

Lately I’ve been thinking a LOT about what it actually takes to go pro with your vision heading into 2026, and why so many of you keep getting in your own way. You say you’re meant for more, you want visibility, legacy, impact… but you’re still playing small because:

• You’re not actually celebrating your wins (I used to hide mine too).
• You’re comparing your journey to people in a completely different season.
• You’re confusing mentorship with buying every course out of fear.
• You’re waiting for clarity—when clarity only comes from action.

Here’s what I’ve learned through marriage planning, long-distance, parenting through injuries, business highs/lows—and still showing the fuck up:

👉 Your nervous system + habits are your foundation. Without that, every storm knocks you over. 👉Your small wins ARE the momentum. When you don’t honor them, you block bigger blessings. 👉 If nobody knows who you are, they can’t find you. Visibility is not optional in 2026. 👉 Scaling isn’t the only way. Some of us are built for intimate, high-touch leadership. 👉 You don’t have to go fast—you just have to go forward.

I also get real about Human Design moments (my fellow Manifesting Generators and Projectors—this one’s for you) and why I’m finally reopening my 1:1 coaching spots for high-level thought leaders in 2026.

Blinders on. Full focus. Let’s f*cking go.

If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll “start fresh in January,” this episode is your wake-up call.

Most high-potential women don’t rest at the end of the year — they retreat. They hide. They pause their presence. They convince themselves they’re “preparing.”

Meanwhile, the women who rise? They move now. They build visibility while the world is quiet. They take up space before they feel perfectly ready.

In this raw, honest solo episode, Jessica shares:

•⁠ ⁠Why waiting for January keeps you invisible and stuck •⁠ ⁠The identity shift required to build real confidence •⁠ ⁠How visibility actually gets created (hint: not in your notes app) •⁠ ⁠Her recent $20K branding experience & what it revealed about leadership and self-trust •⁠ ⁠What becoming undeniable in your space really looks like •⁠ ⁠How to step into the woman you want to be — publicly and before you feel “ready”

If you’re done hiding, done rehearsing your potential, and ready to actually be seen, this episode will activate you into momentum — right now, not someday.
