Welcome to season 2, episode 6 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.
This week my guest is Jessica Varian Maldonado, an entrepreneur; Founder, Organista Home; author of the book titled, 'She Had No Business'; and Partner, Inspired Girl Enterprises.
While raising four children on her own and living in poverty, Jessica Varian Maldonado founded Organista Home that was inspired by her time working in a church basement. She was asked to organize Sister Jude's office at her Church and that changed her life forever. Jessica's mission is to help clients clear what weighs them down in their living spaces, so they can embrace a beautifully minimalistic life from the inside-out.
Jessica goes on to talk about how it came out of nowhere for her to become an author. As a matter of fact, she was asked to help a publisher find a potential new author. In the midst of Jessica trying to find someone a thought came to her. It was four words, 'She Had No Business'. With her heart racing during this conversation with Jenn from Inspired Girl Enterprises, it became clear that she needed to get her story onto the page. Congratulations to Jessica as she has just recently become a partner with Inspired Girl Enterprises and is now helping other authors live their dreams.
Jessica shares more information about SOAR, a conference that she Co-founded with Jennifer Tuma-Young (Inspired Girl Enterprises). There is a story in here about manifesting dolphins that truly is an important message.
Listen to Jessica's answer to the question, what is the footprint you're creating now that you want to leave behind?
Jessica takes us on a journey of how a woman that could have decided many times to settle, give up, or feel like a victim was resilient, and utilized the opportunities that were placed on her path, so that she can continue to live her best life!
To date she has donated over 1 million items to families! While Jessica is helping people pair down what they no longer need, she is able to donate those items to those in need.
Next week, I interview Catherine Curry Williams. Catherine is the Co-founder of two non-profit organizations, She Angels, and Shane's Inspiration. She is also just launching a new podcast called Wine Woman and Chocolate. This is such an inspiring conversation about life, loss, resiliency, and finding your light.
