Fighting depression is not easy, glamorous, or something I'd wish on anyone. I'm familiar with this old strategy of the enemy. The heaviness, darkness, self loathing, isolating, lonely, hopeless feelings that come along with this mental illness is not something to be taken lightly. I hate those feelings. I understand there are varying severities. I'v even struggled with postpartum depression without knowing I had it for almost an entire year. In this episode I tell you when and how I over came it and give you practical tips on how you can start finding hope in chaos. Where there is chaos there are problems... but there is also opportunity. Solutions are birthed out of crisis. So listen in as I walk you through my story and my strategy to breaking free!

Ep.9 | Strategies of the Overcomer Series Part 1: Going from Depressed to Hopeful

Amidst the panic and fear, I wanted to give a different perspective. As we face the reactions of society and navigate the decisions of our cities, state, and country, it's important to be safe and take precautions... but then what? I believe that this is a very rare and valuable time to take advantage of. How? By getting back to the basics and reevaluating our personal situations. Is there a silver lining? This episode is for those of you who are anxious and fearful; those who are tired of the same rhetoric. Let's do a heart and mind check... let's start changing the mental dialogue so our spoken words bring life and hope to people. My Links

Ep.8 | Recalibrate

Season 2 Premiere!!! Life is messy, budgeting is intimidating, and dreams are collecting dust on the shelf. Where do we start when we feel overwhelmed, alone, and defeated? The best place to start is taking a look at your finances because it reveals so much about who we are. Our bank accounts are like a snapshot in time, allowing us to analyze our financial behavior. Most of the time, the reason we buy something is an outward response to an emotional state; good or bad; joyful or depressed; stressed or excited. So, when we stop and face our money habits head on, it can really help us understand other areas in our life. I want to help you gain clarity so you can step into your full potential and dream bigger than your paycheck! Jessica's Links
