Have you ever dimmed your light to make others comfortable? Jessica Di Re's powerful story will make you question why we sacrifice authenticity for acceptance.
When Jessica broke her kneecap in a freak accident, she was forced to pause her non-stop lifestyle as a successful real estate broker. What could have been devastating became transformative. "I got really quickly right into mindset coaching," she shares, turning immobility into an opportunity for growth through journaling and intentional consumption.
Her candid revelations about reconnecting with her estranged father parallel her journey through the end of a significant relationship. Jessica articulates with remarkable clarity how these parallel processes helped her recognize patterns: "I excuse certain behaviors, and I think it's because I said no to my father for certain things, but I allowed other men to do that in relationships towards me."
Perhaps most moving is Jessica's experience as a stepmom, a role she embraced wholeheartedly—making special lunches with encouraging notes and creating adventures for children who weren't biologically hers. Though that chapter has closed, her reflections on balancing caregiving with self-preservation offer wisdom for anyone navigating blended family dynamics.
"Don't ever dim your light," Jessica advises women who might be shrinking themselves to fit others' expectations. "A lot of people will come into your life to dim it and not want to see you shine for their own selfish reasons... But at the end of the day, people are going to hate you, whether your light is dim or not."
