 Hi there!
I'm Jessica. I'm a Spiritual Career & Leadership
Coach, Gender Equity Advocate and healthcare
executive with over ten years in the field.

I believe that if every woman lived her purpose,

every need in the world would be met.

I spent my career in healthcare specializing in continuous process improvement.

My job was to help smart people solve hard problems, figure out ways to make their
jobs easier, and to set the strategy for transformational change.

I was one of the youngest members of the leadership team, and one of the only
women. I thought I had it all - the big house, nice car, six-figure salary.

But something didn't feel right. I found myself trapped in a toxic work environment
where my ideas and opinions were constantly challenged. I felt stuck and
discouraged. I felt like my life was just passing me by. Day by day.

I realized I wasn't living in alignment with my life purpose. I felt stuck and
discouraged because I wasn't fulfilling my Ikigai - my reason for being. I made a
commitment to find my purpose and and align it with a career and life I loved.

"You already have everything you need to be successful.

You just have to believe it's there."
It started with a mindset shift and daily gratitude practice. From there, I used the
Ikigai to identify my strengths and values and how I could serve the world. Over
time, I found my life purpose; what I was meant to do on this Earth.

Since that time, I've helped hundreds of women find their purpose and align their
career with their values, strengths, gifts, and experience to find more fulfillment and
make an impact in their organizations, communities, and the world. Now, it's your
turn. Use this workbook as a guide to help you discover your life purpose.
