What if we stopped fighting the fact that everything is always changing? In this final Espresso Shot of Season 3, Jess gets philosophical about evolution, change, grief, perfectionism, and letting ourselves become whoever the hell we're becoming. She talks about the messy middle that social media doesn't always show us, why we need more nuance in how we see ourselves and the world, and how perfectionism can make us feel like we're simultaneously not enough and too much. She also reflects on her move to Florida — a change she fought HARD — and how it ultimately opened doors she never could have predicted, from pivoting her business to coaching and branding to building community and creating her first retreat. And as she heads into a new season of life and business, Jess explores what it looks like to loosen our grip on outcomes, trust our intuition, and remember that the journey really is the point.

In this episode, Jess sits down with psychic consultant Laura Leap for a wide-ranging conversation about intuition, evolution, creativity, and building a life that actually feels like yours.  Laura shares her journey from journalism and tech PR into cybersecurity then hypnotherapy, and finally embracing her psychic gifts — including the pivotal moments that pushed her to stop living how she thought she was supposed to and start living like she wanted. They also dive into burnout, creativity and AI, the importance of keeping humans in the creative process, taking up space, getting paid for meaningful work, and Laura's perspective on the collective shifts happening in the world. It's a conversation about trusting what you know, honoring your gifts, and learning to stay present while still holding a vision for what's possible. lauraleap.com threads.com/@thelauraleap Follow Jess on the Internet: ⁠Join the newsletter⁠ ⁠instagram.com/thecolorfuljess⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠threads.com/@thecolorfuljess⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thecolorfuljess.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What happens when your business starts teaching you things you never expected to learn about yourself? It might just trigger the f**k out of you. In this Espresso Shot, Jess gets real about the less-talked-about side of entrepreneurship: how building a business can drag your self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, money stories, and old wounds straight into the light. She shares how her own business has become a place for healing — from learning to say her pricing confidently to setting better boundaries, trusting her intuition, simplifying her offers, and giving herself permission to evolve. This is your reminder that your business doesn't have to be another place where you perform perfection. It can be a place where you come home to yourself, make more space for creativity, and build something that actually feels damn good to live inside. Because sometimes the thing your business is triggering isn't a problem to fix — it's an invitation to heal. Our businesses are truly mirrors for our own growth.

In this friendly coffee chat, Jess sits down with brand photographer, content strategist, mom, caregiver, and disability activist Rebecca McCoy to explore what it really means to build a values-driven creative business. From creating an inclusive experience for every client to questioning beauty standards, social media culture, and the ways industries unintentionally leave people behind, Rebecca shares why making people feel truly seen is at the heart of everything she does. Together, they dive into ADHD, justice-oriented entrepreneurship, going viral, the surprising downside of online visibility, and why "small is worthy" might be one of the healthiest mindsets a business owner can embrace. They also imagine what stronger communities could look like — from mixed-use neighborhoods to collaborative small businesses — and reflect on creating a future that values connection over constant growth. It's an honest, hopeful conversation about redefining success, leading with your values, and building businesses that genuinely serve people. instagram.com/rmbrandphotography/ rebeccamccoyphotos.com Find Jess on the Internet: ⁠Join the newsletter⁠ ⁠instagram.com/thecolorfuljess⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠threads.com/@thecolorfuljess⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thecolorfuljess.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What if building a meaningful business starts with becoming more yourself and not just more polished? In this heartfelt conversation, Jess sits down with brand strategist and designer Kristy Black (they/she) to explore the experiences that shaped their outlook on life, from surviving two near-death experiences to navigating bullying, perfectionism, creative burnout, and learning to build a business rooted unapologetically in joy and values. Together, they talk about why creativity flourishes when we let go of perfection, how branding is really about clarity rather than aesthetics, and why giving yourself permission to evolve is one of the bravest things you can do. This episode is a reminder that the people, businesses, and communities we're drawn to aren't perfect — they're deeply, authentically human. And hey, p.s.

What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't strategy — it's waiting for permission? In this Espresso Shot, Jess explores the quiet ways we give our power away and how reclaiming it can transform the way we build our businesses. From raising your rates and changing your mind to trading services, resting more, setting boundaries, and embracing imperfection, this episode is a reminder that your business gets to reflect your values, energy, and season of life. Jess also shares how she's giving herself permission to experiment while rebuilding her business after motherhood, why flexibility has become one of her greatest business strengths, and how creating a sustainable business starts with trusting yourself instead of following someone else's rules.

What exactly is a Business Doula? In this Espresso Shot, Jess shares the story behind the title and why it feels so much more aligned than "business coach."
