In this special throwback episode, Jessica takes listeners back to the moment that started it all — the original episode she recorded five years ago announcing that she was officially leaving her corporate job to pursue her business full-time.

Raw, emotional, and straight from the heart, this recording captures Jessica at a pivotal turning point — filled with excitement, fear, and the undeniable knowing that she was meant for more. You’ll hear her share the dreams she had back then, the fears she was facing, and the hope that fueled her to take one of the biggest risks of her life.

Now, five years later, Jessica invites you to listen through the lens of everything that’s unfolded since — the growth, the lessons, the transformations, and the proof that betting on yourself always pays off.

Inside this episode, you’ll experience:

• The exact moment Jessica decided to walk away from her 9–5.
• The mix of fear and faith that comes with following your purpose.
• A powerful reminder that every big dream starts with one brave decision.
• Proof that your “Day One” moments are worth celebrating — no matter how uncertain they feel.
