#48-Day 1: The Story I Wasn’t Planning to Tell

Day 1: The Power of a Thank You

This wasn’t the Day 1 Jessica had planned. But when your gut speaks, you listen.

In this deeply personal kickoff to her 100 Days of Say Yes journey, Jessica shares a story she kept buried for over a decade. A toxic workplace. A hidden pregnancy. A life that unraveled far from the dream she envisioned—and the quiet courage it took to finally say thank you to the one person who helped her through it.

This episode explores how shame keeps us silent, how healing often begins with telling the truth, and how one small “yes”—even a delayed text of gratitude—can transform your life.

If you’ve ever carried a thank you you never said, this is the episode that will inspire you to finally send it.
