You don’t need to be in crisis to ask for support.
In this episode, Jessica dismantles the three most common myths that keep soul-led women stuck in survival mode, waiting until something is broken before they invest in help.

If you've ever told yourself "I'll hire a mentor when things slow down... when I make more money... when something actually goes wrong," this episode is your wake-up call.

Jessica shares the energetic shift that changed everything in her business, seeing mentorship not as a repair shop, but as a launchpad. You’ll hear how high-level women lead themselves before the breakdown, why investing from clarity creates exponential expansion, and how to build a business your nervous system can actually hold.

Whether you're scaling, stretching, or sitting in the in-between, this conversation will help you anchor into congruent leadership, proactive support, and sustainable self-trust.

Inside this episode:

• The 3 myths that keep intuitive leaders waiting until it’s “bad enough” to invest
• Why mentorship is not about fixing broken parts, it’s about amplifying your power
• The energetic difference between investing from fear vs. from expansion
• How Jessica’s own investments rewired her identity and capacity to hold more
• An invitation to stop treating support like a lifeline, and start treating it like leadership

This is the reframe your business and your body have been asking for.
