ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this deeply honest Espresso Shot, Jess records fresh off a powerful therapy session and shares the breakthroughs that surfaced around grief, self-worth, creativity, and learning to witness herself with more compassion. From the sadness of leaving behind community in Baltimore to the pressure of social media validation and the fear that happiness might not last, this episode explores the messy middle of healing — where joy and grief can exist at the same time.
Jess reflects on a question that stopped her in her tracks: What would change if I tried on more love? Through that lens, she unpacks how much of her life has been spent adapting, surviving, and seeking external proof of worth, and why coming home to herself might be the real work of this season. This is a vulnerable, cathartic conversation about honoring all your feelings, balancing grief with gratitude, and remembering that your value is not determined by an algorithm.
