Today, I speak to Jessica about how she accomplished her incredible goal of traveling to every country in the world. I ask her about the important lessons she’s learned about life from her experiences, how she manages her fears, and how the pandemic changed her business and life. Jessica also shares how she became a “digital nomad” in a time when working remotely wasn’t a known option.
We also dive into a conversation about writing, specifically what the process of writing her book was like. And of course, I couldn’t leave a conversation with Jessica without asking her about the countries that surprised her, countries with the best food, and countries with the nicest people.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
