Jessica Lundy (00:00):
At the age of five, I wanted to be on TV.
I didn't have any connectionsin TV, I didn't know anybody.
So when I got that really goodjob, I'll never forget when God
tapped me on my shoulder andtold me to quit my job, move to
Atlanta and start over.
And because I was locked in onthat vision with unwavering
faith, I took a leap.
They were like we're going topause.
We want to work with localpeople.
(00:21):
I was devastated and I askedGod like why did you even put me
?
He said I created you to bringhope to the next generation.
Now I'm one of the top speakersin the world, all because I was
able to give up something thatwas good for something great.
(00:53):
Welcome to the Finally Healedwith Jessica Lundy podcast,
where we prioritize mentalhealth, self-care and embracing
our healing journey together.
Today we are talking aboutsomething deep, something that I
hope you feel convicted todream bigger.
(01:15):
We're talking about obedienceover comfort.
This is like one of thoseconversations that you can only
have with the right people.
Like some of you know that youwere created for more, like you
were created for greatness, likethere's always been something
(01:35):
different about you than yourfriends and your families.
Can I talk to the black sheepsof the family?
Okay, because I remember havingconversations with people Like
at the age of five, I wanted tobe on TV.
Just imagine when everybody'sgoing around the little room in
kindergarten and they're sayingthey want to be a firefighter or
(01:56):
a wrestler and I'm like no, Iwant to be a talk show host.
Where does that self-awarenesseven come from at such a young
age?
For me that came from exposure.
My mom was always introducingme to so many things I didn't
really watch like cartoons as akid, like I watched Seinfeld.
I feel like that sounds crazyto say I watched Seinfeld as a
(02:17):
kid instead of cartoons.
But I lived a mature life.
Okay, at two my mom says I wasalready answering the phone, so
she knew that I would end upsomehow in the communication
industry.
So I had pretty pretty muchclarity when they were asking us
those deep questions inkindergarten of what we wanted
to be when we grew up.
(02:37):
So when I decided and I trulybelieve that there is power in
our decisions when I decided atthe age of five that I wanted to
be a TV host, y'all didn't knowit was going to take me 20
years to turn that dream into areality.
It came with some ups and somedowns and it was not an easy
experience at all.
What most people don't realizeis when you see the people on
(03:00):
the news, the news anchors atthe desk or the reporters like
out on the scene, it's not aboutjust going to school for
journalism.
People think that's.
The people always come up to meand it's okay if you come up to
me and say this, but peoplealways like, oh, I was a
journalism major or I was acommunication major.
That doesn't mean you're goingto make it in the market there's
.
It's extremely competitive.
So there are 250 markets in theTV industry, meaning if you
(03:26):
live in a small town, you mighthave a small town TV station.
If you live in a big town, youlive in a big one.
Most people start in likemarket 200, 150, work their way
up and they're literally movingevery two years to go up the
ranks.
I had told God like that wasjust not the vision that I have
for my life.
I wanted to start up the ranks.
I had told God like that wasjust not the vision that I have
(03:46):
for my life.
I wanted to start at the top.
My goal and my desire was tostart my career at a top 10
market.
That had never happened,especially if someone isn't
what's called legacy.
But I'm big on vision.
I'm big on having clarity ofwhat you desire despite your
circumstances.
I didn't have any connectionsin TVA.
I didn't know anybody, so itwasn't realistic, it wasn't the
(04:11):
safe choice to really dreamoutside of my circumstances or
outside of my circle, but that'swhat I desire.
When I finally turned that dreaminto reality, I competed with
over 1,500 people to be the faceof a TV network in Detroit.
And when I got that call, I'llnever forget Like I was for the
people that are from Michigan,from Detroit, somerset mall,
(04:32):
which is like our, it's like ourLennox, okay, it's like our
nice mall per se, and I was onthe good side.
So there's the regular side andthere's the rich side, okay, if
you know, you know.
And so I think I was leavinglike Nordstrom's or something
like that over there on theother side.
And when I got that call, likeI was ecstatic and y'all, they
called me like right beforeChristmas.
(04:52):
It was the gift that keeps ongiving, to be honest, and I was
so honored I'll never forget.
There was a girl that came upto me in the mall like months
later and was like, why did theypick you over me?
It came up to me in the malllike months later and was like,
why did they pick you over me?
It was crazy because eventhough I was in that competition
with people, like the person infront of me was from LA, the
(05:12):
person behind me had flew infrom New York.
Like so many people fromMichigan, from Detroit, have
like the grit and the hustle tomake it, but often have to leave
to go to bigger cities.
But I believe that I could be asuccess, like in my hometown,
like in my community, like nothaving to leave, like that was a
standard that I set for my ownlife and for my business and for
my career.
I never thought aboutcompetition.
(05:33):
Like, even though there were somany people y'all, I was so
locked in on my vision.
It didn't matter if 10 millionpeople showed up.
I was still going to get thatjob.
That's the level of focus thatyou have to have for the things
that you desire, and so when Igot that really good job like
that I always desired, it didn'tlook the way that I expected it
to look, like I was workinglike 60 hours a week.
I was on the board ofeverything because I was
(05:55):
constantly trying to provemyself.
Even though I had beat allthose people, I still didn't
think I was good enough.
Isn't that crazy how we can beat the top of our game, at the
top of our industry and stillstruggling with belief.
But I pressed past.
I gave 100% every day.
Oftentimes I gave 200%, if wecan be honest, which ultimately
led to burnout, but that'sanother story for another day.
(06:17):
But I had it all.
To be honest, people thoughtthis was the dream.
They're like where do you gofrom here?
I had done some national TVLike.
I was literally projected to bethe next Oprah.
I've had the opportunity tomeet Oprah We'll talk about that
another day but I had it Like Ihad made it.
I'll never forget when God liketapped me on my shoulder and
(06:38):
told me to quit my job, move toAtlanta and start over.
I ain't gonna lie.
Instantly I thought that wasthe devil.
It's got to be the devil.
Ain't no way God not my Godgonna tell me to quit my job, my
good job that I've been wantingfor 20 years.
To do what?
What am I doing in Atlanta.
So instantly everybody told meokay, clearly God's gonna
upgrade you and you're gonna goto CNN and it's gonna be amazing
(06:59):
, like, like, when I tell you Iquit my job.
It was so crazy.
Hopefully he would not mind mesaying this, but the owner of
the TV station was like are youleaving for a competitor?
Like give me some context.
Like this just feels out ofnowhere.
Like we can give you apromotion.
Like just let me know so we cankeep you.
And I remember looking at himwith conviction right in my eye
and saying like this has nothingto do with what you can or
(07:21):
cannot provide for me.
I am listening to a much biggersource.
I know those first six monthsthey were like checking on me to
make sure that I did notactually leave to go somewhere
else, and it had nothing to do.
If it was my plan, I would havejust stayed there.
It was an amazing opportunity.
I got to do some of the coolestthings I had.
My own concert series, got tobe on national TV.
(07:41):
They really exposed me to a lotof things and they gave me a
lot of freedom, creative freedom, to do what I like.
It was good.
But what happens when you knowthat you're actually created for
greatness, something biggerthat everybody in your circle,
everybody in your lineage,everybody in your bloodline
thinks is possible for you.
I had a conviction to dosomething great and because I
(08:05):
was locked in on that visionwith unwavering faith, I took a
leap Y'all packed up mypenthouse apartment that I just
was so in love with, moved toAtlanta on a hope and a leap.
Y'all packed up my penthouseapartment that I would just was
so in love with, moved toAtlanta on a hope and a prayer.
And things did not go the way Iplanned.
Wouldn't have been so nice if Iwas able to say yes.
I landed in Atlanta and CNNcalled and ABC called and it was
(08:28):
amazing.
They were like we've had toomany people move here full of
hopes and dreams.
They were like we've had toomany people move here full of
hopes and dreams.
We're going to pause bringingall these transplants in.
We want to work with localpeople.
I was devastated Becausesometimes, when you leave good
for great, your heart can bebroken.
And for a moment my heart wasbroken Because my heart was
(08:52):
broken and I allowed myself tofeel the emotions that were
coming instead of suppressing it.
It led me to get quiet inprayer and I asked God like why
did you even put me here?
Like keep it a buck with me.
God, like I don't know howy'all be praying Maybe y'all
pray all like nice and spiritualand poised and confident.
But I just talk to God like Iwould talk to my friends and I'm
(09:18):
like you're going to have togive me some clarity on what's
going on here, because this isnot making sense.
And he literally said I'llnever forget this.
It literally gets me chillseven saying it out of my mouth.
But he said I created you tobring hope to the next
generation.
And when I heard that, I justfelt convicted to like go on
social media and tell people I'mhaving a tour, enjoy the dates.
I started reaching out toschools and organizations and
colleges and then one schoolbooked me, another school booked
me another university and, likenow I'm one of the top speakers
(09:39):
in the world.
All because I was able to giveup something that was good for
something great.
All because I was committed tobeing obedient to the will, to
the call, to the purpose, to thedesire that God, who is so much
bigger than me, the creator,saw fit to choose me to lead a
(10:02):
generation.
That's something that I takevery seriously.
Now, was I fearful?
For sure?
Yes, at times I'm like God.
This is not like what Iexpected, or the timeline looked
different, or there were timeswe struggled during that process
if I can keep it honest withyou Like it did not look pretty,
but I just kept talking tomyself.
(10:22):
That's why talking to yourselfin the mirror, positive
self-talk, that's why I createdthose audio affirmations,
because on the days where I wasfeeling my lowest, I needed to
hear.
I was amazing that I was greatthat good things were going to
happen to me.
So if you haven't gotten yourcopy of my audio affirmations
that you should be listening toevery day to start your day, you
already know what to do.
I'll put that link in the shownotes.
(10:43):
It will change your life.
We have thousands of people allover the world that start their
day by listening to me,encouraging them, inspiring them
.
But there was a time that Iactually needed to hear myself
say those words.
Because I didn't have it.
I had to borrow some belieffrom a version of myself that
didn't even exist and just hopethat all of the dreams and
(11:04):
desires that she had would cometo pass.
This is what happened.
So you might be thinking okay,jess, that sounds good, you did
it Like.
What does that look like?
For me, one, it looks likegetting clarity.
I will use the word claritytime and time again because so
many people lack it.
So many people do not havevision when I think about the
work that needs to be done.
That work needs to be done instillness.
(11:25):
It needs to be done in thequiet place, in the secret place
.
A lot of times we're trying toput our dreams out loud on
social media and that's cool,but I still believe that there
is a space and place availablefor the secret things between
you and your creator, and thatquietness and that stillness is
(11:49):
going to produce more claritythan you have ever had in your
life.
Secondly, you got to get aroundsome winners.
I just feel like it's easier tobe obedient when you are around
other people who walk inobedience right.
If you around some peoplethat's super disobedient, like
your obedience makes themuncomfortable.
(12:09):
Like there's definitely beenseasons where I'm like yo, I
used to be pretty popular.
Like I had a lot of friendslike where are?
Oh, my obedience makes themuncomfortable.
And then you have a decision tomake.
You can choose to be like themand you look up in five to ten
years and they life ain'tchanged one bit.
Or you can choose to say listen, I know this is uncomfortable,
I know this.
(12:29):
This feels a little bit awkwardlike and you can really lean
into it, but you don't have todo it alone.
You got my support.
Like we locked in.
Like you listen to the pod,listen, we're starting a
community.
Like you can be a part ofsomething great, something
memorable, something exciting,something revolutionary, if you
allow your mind to even realizethat's possible.
(12:52):
So I want to take you to myfavorite part of the show, the
healing moment, where I gave youan action item that you can put
into practice so that you canreally embrace your healing
journey.
I know there probably is one, ifnot two, maybe three things
that you are currently beingdisobedient in.
(13:12):
Now you might be thinking I'mgrown.
How am I being disobedient?
You already know God then toldyou to do X, y and Z and you're
either ignoring what God toldyou to do or you're playing way
too small.
The season of playing small isover.
I want you to no longer belooking at people on social
(13:33):
media saying, man, they're solucky or it worked out for them.
No, no, they were resilient andyou, too, can be resilient as
well.

It literally gets me chillseven saying it out of my mouth.
But he said I created you tobring hope to the next
generation.
And when I heard that, I justfelt convicted to like go on
social media and tell people I'mhaving a tour, enjoy the dates.
I started reaching out toschools and organizations and
colleges and then one schoolbooked me, another school booked
me another university and, likenow I'm one of the top speakers
(09:39):
in the world.
All because I was able to giveup something that was good for
something great.
All because I was committed tobeing obedient to the will, to
the call, to the purpose, to thedesire that God, who is so much
bigger than me, the creator,saw fit to choose me to lead a
(10:02):
generation.
That's something that I takevery seriously.
Now, was I fearful?
For sure?
Yes, at times I'm like God.
This is not like what Iexpected, or the timeline looked
different, or there were timeswe struggled during that process
if I can keep it honest withyou Like it did not look pretty,
but I just kept talking tomyself.
(10:22):
That's why talking to yourselfin the mirror, positive
self-talk, that's why I createdthose audio affirmations,
because on the days where I wasfeeling my lowest, I needed to
hear.
I was amazing that I was greatthat good things were going to
happen to me.
So if you haven't gotten yourcopy of my audio affirmations
that you should be listening toevery day to start your day, you
already know what to do.
I'll put that link in the shownotes.
(10:43):
It will change your life.
We have thousands of people allover the world that start their
day by listening to me,encouraging them, inspiring them
.
But there was a time that Iactually needed to hear myself
say those words.
Because I didn't have it.
I had to borrow some belieffrom a version of myself that
didn't even exist and just hopethat all of the dreams and
(11:04):
desires that she had would cometo pass.
This is what happened.
So you might be thinking okay,jess, that sounds good, you did
it Like.
What does that look like?
For me, one, it looks likegetting clarity.
I will use the word claritytime and time again because so
many people lack it.
So many people do not havevision when I think about the
work that needs to be done.
That work needs to be done instillness.
(11:25):
It needs to be done in thequiet place, in the secret place
.
A lot of times we're trying toput our dreams out loud on
social media and that's cool,but I still believe that there
is a space and place availablefor the secret things between
you and your creator, and thatquietness and that stillness is
(11:49):
going to produce more claritythan you have ever had in your
life.
Secondly, you got to get aroundsome winners.
I just feel like it's easier tobe obedient when you are around
other people who walk inobedience right.
If you around some peoplethat's super disobedient, like
your obedience makes themuncomfortable.
(12:09):
Like there's definitely beenseasons where I'm like yo, I
used to be pretty popular.
Like I had a lot of friendslike where are?
Oh, my obedience makes themuncomfortable.
And then you have a decision tomake.
You can choose to be like themand you look up in five to ten
years and they life ain'tchanged one bit.
Or you can choose to say listen, I know this is uncomfortable,
I know this.
(12:29):
This feels a little bit awkwardlike and you can really lean
into it, but you don't have todo it alone.
You got my support.
Like we locked in.
Like you listen to the pod,listen, we're starting a
community.
Like you can be a part ofsomething great, something
memorable, something exciting,something revolutionary, if you
allow your mind to even realizethat's possible.
(12:52):
So I want to take you to myfavorite part of the show, the
healing moment, where I gave youan action item that you can put
into practice so that you canreally embrace your healing
journey.
I know there probably is one, ifnot two, maybe three things
that you are currently beingdisobedient in.
(13:12):
Now you might be thinking I'mgrown.
How am I being disobedient?
You already know God then toldyou to do X, y and Z and you're
either ignoring what God toldyou to do or you're playing way
too small.
The season of playing small isover.
I want you to no longer belooking at people on social
(13:33):
media saying, man, they're solucky or it worked out for them.
No, no, they were resilient andyou, too, can be resilient as
well.
