Jessica, Soul yes coach, supporting women to be brave,  bold and authentically you

After 20 years in the field of social work, primarily mental health and substance use, I reached a pivital moment that I knew it was time to create monumental change in my world. Instead of seeking new ventures in the standard 8-5 world I had come to know for the last two decades I decided to take a leap. I had told myself I would make this change "after my kids graduated", but my heart and soul knew I could not wait any longer. So I did a thing...with two teenage sons still at home, I sold my house, moved my family into an apartment and decided to launch my business using the equity from my home as a safety net!  I set myself a date, knowing if this did not work, my kids still depended on me....but I believed in myself and was surrounded by others that believed even more than I did. And I did it!

I am living my Soul Yes!  And I am here to help you find yours!

Hi there, I'm Jessica, Soul Yes coach and your personal guide to being Bold, Brave and Authentically You.

#MyStory

I had dreamt of hiking the 26 mile Inca Train through he Andes Mountains in Peru since I was in 7th grade.  My long term partner wanted to take the train, I wanted to hike...so we didn't. I then got divorced, had 3 knee surgeries and found myself gauging those I dated my "could I see myself hiking to Machu Pichu with this person". The universe was not aligning the way I envisioned...until it did!  The moment I realized "who and what am I waiting for?"  So in effort of accountability I posted on Facebook - "Goal: Hike Ince Trail within 5 years" - less than a month later I wondered again...."what am I waiting for????  So, I booked the trip!  And less than 6 months I was on the trail...living my Soul Yes!   (PS - I realized my 15 year old son wanted to go...so we had the adventure of a lifetime together....no more waiting!

“Who and what am I waiting for”

The Time In Now

Kayaking down the Chippewa River

Spending time with those I love

Seeing my children grow into their own authentic selves

Snow shoeing at night

Not taking myself too seriously - we all rise, we all fall


WHAT KEEPS ME HUMBLE

Letting the heart give freely to others.

Leading with intuition.

Knowing we all are far stronger than we can ever imagine

Experience as our greatest tool.

Learning is a never-ending road full of scenery.

My struggles in life are not my weakness, but my superpower!

VALUES THAT KEEP ME CENTERED

As I was nearing my forties I had so much going for me - a successful career in social work, in which I had moved into a leadership role early on in my career, two amazing sons, a roof over our heads and a 15 year marriage - I had it all! 

Or so it seemed from the outside - I was indeed "Facebook Happy". In reality I had a marriage that was on the verge of a divorce and I had been an "active alcoholic in hiding" the last 15 years (AKA I hid it well and very few knew). It was time!  Time for me to show up for myself before the hiding couldn't be hid anymore. 

Fast forward 5 years...a lot of therapy, a humble and honest recovery journey and a divorce that needed to happen...I was starting to truly "find" myself. 

Fast forward a a few more years and I came to a cross road in my career - a change needed to happen. I had started this business a year prior, but the universe aligned...and I made the HUGE DECISION to launch full time. Leaving the security of benefits and secure income to trust in myself.  I sold my house, moved my kids and I into an apartment...and went ALL IN believing in MYSELF!

I Rose, I Fell, I Rose Again...over and over...We ALL Do!


I Rise, I fall
You rise, you fall
We All rise and we all fall
