Imagine feeling stuck in a high-paying legal job as you’re buried deep in student loan debt.
Imagine having everything you ever wanted in a career - Your dream job right in front of you, and then realizing you absolutely hate it.
Imagine feeling unsure how to make a change…until one conversation shifts everything.
In this inspiring episode, Jessica Medina shares how she went from being completely burnt out and in financial overwhelm, to a place of freedom, clarity, and renewed energy.
She talks through the dawning realization that her dream job in enforcement is far from what she imagined. Burnt out, indebted and lacking love in her career, Jessica chose a new career path that not only helped her decrease her own debt, but help others in the same way.
In this episode, she talks about:

If this sounds like you, then we invite you to listen in and begin to dream again.
