In this episode of Selective Hearing, host Julie Dammar interviewsician, coach, and advocate Jessica Erlendson to explore the power of self-discovery, boundary-setting, and overcoming self-doubt.

Jessica shares her journey—from navigating dyslexia and dropping out of high school to escaping an abusive relationship at a young age. She opens up about how growing up in a household affected by substance abuse led her to seek support and, ultimately, to define healing on her terms.

Julie and Jessica explore the concept of selective hearing in personal growth and conflict resolution. Jessica reflects on a personal experience in which someone refused to see the bigger picture of a disagreement, highlighting how people often filter out what doesn’t serve their argument. They also discuss how this same dynamic plays out in conversations about women’s health, particularly in the peri- and post-menopause journey, where many struggle to feel heard by loved ones, friends, and even medical professionals.

As a musician, Jessica also shares how creativity has been a tool for healing and self-expression, helping her embrace her unique abilities rather than fight against them. She offers powerful advice for anyone struggling with self-doubt and turning challenges into strengths.

Tune in for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about breaking cycles, trusting yourself, and insisting on being heard.
