Summary:
In this episode of Digital State of Mind, Jessica shares a powerful message on comparison, growth, and the journey of self-discovery. She dives into the way we often admire others’ skills and confidence while doubting our own, reminding us that online personas are curated and don’t reflect the full story. Through personal reflections, she explores the concept of a knowledge baseline, or how we are constantly learning and expanding in ways that make today’s “impossible” feel achievable tomorrow.
Jessica opens up about her own moments of insecurity, despite her successes, and how embracing a beginner mindset allowed her to grow her business from zero to $9k in just four months. She encourages listeners to recognize the value in being a novice again, to embrace new challenges, and to give themselves the grace to learn and evolve. She touches on the importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe in your potential and emphasizing that true growth happens when we allow ourselves the freedom to actually try.
