Have you ever felt different, like you don’t quite fit the mold society created? What if that “weirdness” is actually your superpower? Drawing inspiration from the movie Wicked, this episode explores how embracing what makes us unique—our personal “green”—can transform our lives and impact the world around us.
Fresh from watching Wicked, I’ve been reflecting on Elphaba’s journey and how it mirrors our own struggles with authenticity. Born different and magical, she was taught to hide her true self. Sound familiar? So many of us downplay our natural gifts because they make us stand out, when these differences are precisely what make us extraordinary.
Take a moment today to consider: What’s your “green”? What gifts come naturally to you that others might find challenging? Instead of hiding these qualities, what would happen if you leaned into them completely? Send me a DM if you’re still discovering your unique magic—I’d love to help you uncover it and watch you defy gravity.

"Disney World might be the happiest place on earth but The Self(ish) Retreat is one of the safest places on earth to share your true self. All parts of you are welcome at the Self(ish) Retreat. It's an opportunity to make new friends and bond on a deeper level with old (and new) friends. You're guaranteed to learn something new about yourself. Jess takes care of all the details of the weekend so you can focus on turning inward and getting what you need out of the retreat."
"You NEED to work with Jess. No question. In the 4 months I have been working with Jess so far, my business and I have grown EXPONENTIALLY. Four months ago, I was just talking about the idea that I might start a business, and now I have left a career that wasn’t aligned for me, committed to the adventure of a lifetime, found my niche, launched my business, and rediscovered WHO I AM in the process. I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET choosing 1:1 coaching with this powerhouse woman. Just make sure that you are ready to GROW more than you thought possible."
