In this episode we chat with Jessica Summers, a former fashion designer and boutique owner who is now a successful author, coach, and consultant. Jessica shares her compelling journey from losing everything (including being homeless and overcoming addiction) to becoming a successful author with her new book, 'The Road to Now from Tragedy to Triumph.' She discusses the importance of vulnerability, overcoming learned fears, and adopting a positive attitude towards crisis situations, such as job layoffs. The conversation covers themes like self-awareness, personal growth, and the power of team collaboration. Jessica's story emphasizes the significance of authenticity, self-acceptance, and the transformative effects these principles can have both personally and professionally.
