We dive into practical advice for anyone considering a career change, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness and maintaining a balance between work and personal life. Jessica discusses her evolution. Our conversation also explores the benefits of consistent practice, the power of adopting a beginner's mindset, and the joy of rediscovering childlike enthusiasm in one's endeavors.
As we conclude, Jessica reflects on the transition from merely surviving to truly thriving, discussing how to harness feelings like jealousy as sources of inspiration rather than deterrents. She also shares her insights on creating valuable, positive content in a world that often feels overwhelmed by negativity.
