HI,
I’M JESS!
MY FIRST SPEAKING GIG WAS FOR A SLICE OF PIZZA AND NOW I’M A 7-FIGURE SPEAKER & AUTHOR.
Everything I create is to help you tell & sell your story…so you can make a living and make a difference at the same time. 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.
My mission is to guarantee you two things 👇
• 💰 A financial ROI
• 💖 An extension of your purpose
Enough about my story, let’s help you monetize your story by being a paid keynote speaker and author!
AS HEADBANDS OF HOPE STARTED TO GROW, SO DID MY STORY…
- NMy book, Chasing the Bright Side, debuted #1 on Amazon.
- NMy public speaking career took off to 50+ gigs a year.
- NI 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 other women uncover the value in their story so they can sell it through speaking and 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.
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…
