  • Behind the Brand: Breaking Through the Mask to Find Authenticity | 094
    Jun 11 2025

    What happens when we ignore our body’s signals and push too hard in the name of success?

    In this powerful and raw episode, host Kyle Craik sits down with Jessica Graham, serial entrepreneur, wellness advocate, and marketing powerhouse, to explore the deep connection between personal identity, authenticity, and our relationship with health and self-worth.

    Jessica shares the harrowing story of how a wellness retreat in Italy nearly ended in tragedy because she ignored the signs her body was sending. That experience became a catalyst for transformation that shaped how she now shows up in business, parenting, and personal life.

    We explore how personal branding mirrors our internal journey, why authenticity is essential, and how the intersection of wellness and entrepreneurship requires real self-awareness and courage.

    💡 What You’ll Learn:
    ✅ Why “pushing through” can be dangerous, even when it looks like success
    ✅ How to reconnect with your true self in a noisy, fast-paced world
    ✅ How to start being instead of just “doing”

    This episode will inspire you to slow down, get real, and listen deeply to yourself and your life.
