Hi, I’m Jess!
I started my multi-million-dollar company, Headbands of Hope, while I was in college eating Ramen Noodles and using my sister’s Netflix password
(shh I still use it)…
See what I did there? I tell you about NOT having to be an expert!
- 🌱 I can’t keep a succulent alive (aren’t they supposed to be easy plants)?!
- 🌮 I live for Taco Tuesday.
- ⛺I also happen to live and travel in an Airstream Trailer.
- 🐕 My dog is the best listener.
- 😭 And i’ve been known to cry watching American Idol or romantic comedies.
AS HEADBANDS OF HOPE STARTED TO GROW, SO DID MY STORY…
- My book, Chasing the Bright Side, debuted #1 on Amazon.
- My public speaking career took off to 50+ gigs a year.
- I launched a podcast, Business on the Bright Side.
For a long time, I thought my success was how far I could reach. How many books could I write? How many businesses could I start? How many stages could I speak on?
But now, I’ve realized my success isn’t about how far I can reach – but how far I can help other women reach.
Specifically, how can I help women uncover the value in their story so they can sell it through speaking & writing.
So here’s my
North star.
EVERYTHING I CREATE IS TO HELP YOU TELL AND SELL YOUR STORY, SO YOU CAN MAKE A LIVING AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE…
at the same time
I GIVE A 💩 about you, your time & YOUR MONEY.
Let me be straight with you – I’m not that perfectly filtered influencer on the internet that promises you the world and doesn’t follow through after that credit card is swiped.
- 💰 A financial ROI
- 💖 An extension of your purpose
Enough about my story, let’s discover the purpose of
your story
Take my THOUGHT LEADER QUIZ to help you discover the best way to monetize your story.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
“
LIFE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A TUG OF WAR BETWEEN LIVING YOUR PASSION AND MAKING A PROFIT.
What if you could make a living and make a difference at the same time…just by telling your story?
Your story has value to serve others…but where do you even begin telling it?
Selling it as a keynote or a book?
Don’t you have to be an “expert” to do that?
How do you package it?
Don’t worry-I got you. 👇
My Goal is to Help Women Make a Living & Make a Difference...
at the same time
Here’s why I can help…
- I was named The Ultimate Game Changer by Women’s Health Magazine and Top Motivation Speaker by Forbes
- I’m Bestselling author of Chasing the Bright Side
- I am the founder of Headbands of Hope & Bright Pages
- I teach from real life experiences; the good, the bad, and the funny in order to give you tangible tips and takeaways to help you craft your story that serves, so you can sell.
- I believe life doesn’t have to be a tug-of-war between passion and profit...I’m here to help you do both
