In this deeply personal episode, Jessica opens up about one of the most defining chapters of her life.

This episode of Gurlll, Listen is personal — real personal. I’m pulling back the curtain on my lifelong journey with weight, body image, emotional eating, and that sticky, suffocating shame that so many of us carry. From being shamed by my own mother as a little girl, to surviving bullying, to riding the emotional rollercoaster of weight loss surgeries, medications, loose skin, and scale obsession — I’m talking about all of it.

But this ain’t just a story about pounds and pain. It’s about power. It’s about reclaiming my worth and rewriting the story that my value is tied to a number on a scale or a tag in my jeans. Spoiler alert: It’s not.

We’ll talk food addiction, dating while fat, doctor drama, mental health, and what it really means to practice self-love when the world tells you you’re “too much.” Because guess what? You’re not. You’re a whole damn masterpiece in progress.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unloved in your body — pull up a seat. This one’s for you.
