shift happens | personal growth, self-reflection, and stories that shift your perspective
life handed me stories i never expected… like discovering family secrets, surprise relatives, becoming a mom before i was ready, enough therapy to fill a book, and carrying grief that quietly shaped who i am. and if i learned one thing through it all, it’s this: change is inevitable, but growth is a choice.
stories matter. yours. mine. the messy, hidden, uncomfortable parts people don’t say out loud? i care about those. empathy, reflection, and honest conversations are my thing.
shift happens is your safe space for candid conversations and honest reflections that push you to own your story, face the hard truths, and keep moving forward (together).
because at the end of the day, the question isn’t “why did it happen”... it’s “what are you gonna do about it?”

resilience isn’t just a mindset... it’s science. in this conversation, jessica breaks down what neuroplasticity really means in real life: rewiring your brain after trauma, shifting your habits, and bouncing forward (not back). we talk about the mind-body connection, mental health, and what it looks like to model resilience for your kids in a world that glorifies burnout. if you’ve been fighting old patterns or trying to “fix” yourself this episode will remind you your brain isn’t against you, it’s just protecting you. and you can teach it new ways to thrive.
