About Jessica and the birth of The Courage Revolution
After many years of living unconsciously, I found myself operating in survival mode as a lesser version of myself to keep this facade of a life together. I was mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted from being who I was told to be, and forcing myself to fit in everyone else’s boxes. After my first massive spiritual awakening I realized that I was not living a life for me, I was living the life that my Mormon up bringing, societal and family conditioning all said I should be. I was awakened to the fact that I was conditioned to put myself last which also resulted in self-abandoning on a very big scale. That first spiritual awakening resulted in me taking a wrecking ball to all the boxes I was allowing myself to just exist in, which included my unhealthy marriage, lifestyle, people pleasing, and very misaligned friendships. I filed for divorce, changed jobs, moved cities and left that entire life behind. That was just the start to this crazy journey of growth and expansion in my life. I’ve always loved to learn and have been a huge science and psychology nerd but previously in my life had no energy for mental capacity for the things I used to love. I started to build myself a new foundation that was built on my growth, and what I wanted for my life. I became obsessed with health, fitness, personal development, and human connection. I went to therapy, started prioritizing my health, fitness, new friendships, traveling, started reading books, and listening to podcasts on the many topics that I love. During this time I worked as an RN at the bedside in a hospital. I was traveling, and enjoying my life but could not ignore this nagging feeling that the life I was living was not it for me. Working as an RN started to become increasingly more stressful, unsafe and misaligned for me. I attempted to decrease the days at work and have more fun in my free time but that didn’t help. I then attempted to transfer to a different department and then different hospital the same issues followed me at every job. Then covid and the mandates hit in California where I was working. Attempting to stay in that field was now unbearable. I found myself in a similar place, another massive spiritual awakening. Do I shove myself in their box, self-abandon, and stay silent all for a career that is no longer aligned with who I want to be, what I believe in and the life I am creating or do I have the courage to chose me? I chose courage. I chose myself and refused to stay small or silent. My 15 year career as an RN came to an end after I was terminated for not complying with the covid mandates in California. It became very obvious to me that what I believed about health, wellness and what truly living life meant was very different than what traditional healthcare was preaching and the fear epidemic that was spreading around the world. I was convinced that was not the way to live and that there had to be another way. I sold my home, bought a travel trailer and moved to Texas with my dog.
I then was inspired to lead a revolution. A courage revolution. A revolution of people who have the courage to wake up, to question everything, to challenge the status quo, to refuse to be silenced, to have the hard conversations, take their power back, set themselves free and start thriving in their lives.
I have committed my life to inspiring, empowering and challenging others to take their power back and change their life via my podcast The Courage Revolution, individual coaching and The Courage Club.
Some things I love, health, wellness, fitness, spirituality, travel, food, living and loving this life to its fullest.
Courage calls us in our fear. It calls us to each act of bravery and perseverance that our duties require. And it calls us beyond ourselves to a greater common good. It's our decision to answer the call. The question is are you ready?
