Jessica is an internationally-recognized healthy relationships expert, speaker, trainer, and certified relationship coach. She celebrates her birthday with us on the podcast, and discusses her desire from a young age to go into mental health or social services, and the importance of connection within herself and with others. She runs her own private practice, and is the founder of the non-profit No Silence, No Violence.
