What if we stopped fighting the fact that everything is always changing?
In this final Espresso Shot of Season 3, Jess gets philosophical about evolution, change, grief, perfectionism, and letting ourselves become whoever the hell we're becoming. She talks about the messy middle that social media doesn't always show us, why we need more nuance in how we see ourselves and the world, and how perfectionism can make us feel like we're simultaneously not enough and too much.
She also reflects on her move to Florida — a change she fought HARD — and how it ultimately opened doors she never could have predicted, from pivoting her business to coaching and branding to building community and creating her first retreat. And as she heads into a new season of life and business, Jess explores what it looks like to loosen our grip on outcomes, trust our intuition, and remember that the journey really is the point.

44. Following Your Gifts, Pivoting, and Taking Up Space: A Convo with Laura Leap
In this episode, Jess sits down with psychic consultant Laura Leap for a wide-ranging conversation about intuition, evolution, creativity, and building a life that actually feels like yours.
Laura shares her journey from journalism and tech PR into cybersecurity then hypnotherapy, and finally embracing her psychic gifts — including the pivotal moments that pushed her to stop living how she thought she was supposed to and start living like she wanted.
They also dive into burnout, creativity and AI, the importance of keeping humans in the creative process, taking up space, getting paid for meaningful work, and Laura's perspective on the collective shifts happening in the world. It's a conversation about trusting what you know, honoring your gifts, and learning to stay present while still holding a vision for what's possible.

43. Espresso Shot: Your Business Will Trigger the Fuck Out of You
What happens when your business starts teaching you things you never expected to learn about yourself? It might just trigger the fuck out of you.
In this Espresso Shot, Jess gets real about the less-talked-about side of entrepreneurship: how building a business can drag your self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, money stories, and old wounds straight into the light. She shares how her own business has become a place for healing — from learning to say her pricing confidently to setting better boundaries, trusting her intuition, simplifying her offers, and giving herself permission to evolve.
This is your reminder that your business doesn't have to be another place where you perform perfection. It can be a place where you come home to yourself, make more space for creativity, and build something that actually feels damn good to live inside. Because sometimes the thing your business is triggering isn't a problem to fix — it's an invitation to heal. Our businesses are truly mirrors for our own growth.
