Rebuilding Life with Jessica Summers

This week on Selective Hearing, host Julie Dammar sits down with the powerful and inspiring Jessica Summers—a mother, wife, fashion designer, speaker, coach, and author—whose story of survival and transformation will deeply move you. Jessica opens up about the unraveling of her life through addiction, illness, and homelessness—and the slow, intentional climb back toward healing and purpose. Her story is proof that rock bottom can be the start of a remarkable rise.

🔑 In this episode, we explore:

• The moment everything changed: how illness led to addiction, separation, and homelessness—and the first step Jessica took to rebuild.
• Why selective hearing keeps us stuck in judgment—and how shifting to deep listening transforms relationships.
• The meaning behind her mantra, “We are not supposed to be turning off someone else’s lights,” and how that mindset fuels her coaching work today.
• The intersection of pain and purpose—how personal struggle gave birth to a new mission, creative vision, and deeper empathy.

Whether you’re navigating loss, trying to find yourself again, or simply seeking a reminder that your past does not define your future, this conversation is for you.

👉 Tune in now and share this episode with someone who could use a dose of real talk and hope.
