In this episode we learn: About PCC Community Market and their involvement in the monumental changes within the food industry at a national level. About the vendor partner program that Jess is managing and some common misconceptions about this program. Customers' high demand for product's transparency in the food and naturals industry. How the vendor partner program has helped underserved and underrepresented communities in the food/naturals industry. About Jessica’s emphasis on creating a community, and following passions. Diana and Jessica's personal stories about imposter syndrome and how to transform that into positive energy which creates growth and self-awareness. About Jessica Lyons: Jessica (Jess) Lyons has built her career following her passions. She’s been successful in a wide range of experiences throughout her nearly two-decade-long career, making her a valuable Swiss army knife in any workplace. Jess currently serves as Director of Promotions and E-Commerce for PCC Community Markets, the nation’s largest community-owned food market. In this role, she lives out her foodie fantasies with a company centered around community and scratch-made organic food with a sustainable twist.

As soon as I met this week’s guest, I knew I had to have her on the podcast. That is why I am thrilled to introduce you to Jessica Graham. She is a spiritual and sexual activist, author of the book, Good Sex: Getting Off without Checking Out, meditation teacher, and sex and intimacy guide. I first met Jessica when we had a chance meeting, in a cab, in Holland. I am so glad that the universe aligned and put us into each other’s orbit.  At the time of our meeting, I had been feeling the pull to do some inner work around the areas of sex and sexuality. I knew I needed someone to help guide me. Jessica’s message resonated with me, we shared a lot of things in common, and to make a long story short, we’ve been working together since the Spring. She’s my sexuality doula and she’s been enormously helpful. Today we talk about shame, the messaging we receive as a children about sex and sexuality, and what that all means. We also talk about the common struggle women face when it comes to their feelings around sex. Plus, Jessica shares how the combination of affirmation and mindfulness can help with sex and intimacy. My hope is that our conversation will encourage you to explore inner work around your own sexuality and spiritual awakening.  In this episode you’ll hear: About Jessica and her work, and how she is a sex coach who is more than a sex coach (13:00) The struggles and shame around the topic of sex and sexuality (15:36) What brought Jessica to her work as a sexuality, relationship, and self-love guide (19:52) Sexuality inventory: what it is and what’s the purpose (23:00) The most common struggle women face around sexuality and how Jessica helps with the desired outcome (30:00) Why self-compassion is so important to any kind of personal development work (47:00) Oh and by the way, to celebrate the launch of the new Your Kick-Ass Life website, we’re running a giveaway! It costs zero dollars to enter, we’ve made it ridiculously easy to enter (and you can enter more than once), and all you have to do is click HERE. http://yourkickasslife.com/312  

There’s lots to learn in this episode including: What makes neutrinos (the building blocks of the universe) so important and so elusive! What you can see in a particle vacuum- they pop in and out of existence- and Jessica is searching for new particles! How Jessica was inspired by watching sci-fi shows with her aunt, and how knew she wanted to become an astrophysicist at a very young age. And… what is Wakandacon? https://wakandaconforever.com/     At the end of the day, what Jessica wants YOU to realize, is that: “anybody can do physics, and anybody can study space!  There’s this mentality that you have to be Albert Einstein smart to study physics. Anybody can do it! Studying space or physics in general, is all about failure! When we think about it, it’s the scientific method! You come up with a hypothesis or theory, you test that theory and it may not hold up- then you go back to the drawing board and start again. So being comfortable with failure- taking it in stride- and full disclosure, I’m still working on that!” About Jessica: http://jessicaesquivelphd.com/ Jessica Esquivel received her Bachelor of Science degree from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas where she double majored in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics.  She went on to become the 2nd black female to receive a Ph.D. in physics from Syracuse University in 2018, and worked to study neutrinos. Jessica now works as a Fermilab Postdoc research associate on the Muon g-2 experiment, where an inconsistence between experiment and theory could point to new physics! Jessica has recently been selected as an American Association for the Advancement of Science If/Then Ambassador!  You can learn more about this impressive appointment here: http://ifthenshecan.org and AAAS - The American Association for the Advancement of Science African American Women in Physics, Inc   Learn more about Fermilab National Laboratory: Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

  Hello there and welcome to episode 26 of Couragemakers! For this week's episode, I chatted to Superbands founder Jessica Villa. Jess started Superbands, a non profit Superbands, with the mission of  raise global awareness on mental illness in today's youth and empower those struggling through music. When she isn't working on Superbands, Jessica enjoys going to concerts, binge-watching various Netflix series, traveling, and  snuggling with her (adorable!) puppy, Jax.   In this episode, Jessica talks about her own struggles with depression and low self esteem, how music saved her life, and the story of how she has built an online community and movement bringing young people together through life's challenges by the power of music.   We really dive into how Jess has found self acceptance,  debunk the myth that you're not supposed to love your job and what role music has played in Jess' life. Jess shares fantastic advice for people wanting to start their own thing but not having the support around them, her tips on how to balance your 9-5 with your 5-9 and how she celebrates her small wins.   I absolutely love what Jess is putting into the world and how she has taken her struggles and turned them into something empowering for people going through similar things. Jess is so honest and vulnerable, and I know you're going to love this no holds barred interview.   A quick heads up before we begin,  I just want to give a trigger warning that this episode does involves a conversation about suicide/self harm and the role they have played in Jess' life.   Enjoy the show!
