Episode #30 - How Jessica Ella went from believing there is no point to finding her purpose

What's The Point Anyway?

A couple of months back I was chatting with a good friend of mine who listens to the show about any guests that I should try to bring on, and her immediate answer was to reach out to Jessica Ella.

I'd never heard about Jess before, despite the fact that she lives locally but after listening to her story I agreed that I needed to chat to her!

She's only in her mid 30's, but may have had the most tumultuous and difficult first 30 years of any one I've ever spoken to. As she said during our chat, there were many times where she wondered whether the answer to what's the point is that there is none. Yet several years ago she underwent a transformative process to deal with the years of trauma and bring herself out the other side of it. Thankfully now, she's living her best version of her life and runs a successful healing practice along with several other things keeping her calendar full.

Just a warning - we do get into some very dark topics in this discussion including rape and significant sexual & emotional abuse.

I highly recommend checking out all of Jess's work via her Instagram and website.
