HI I'M JESSICA
And I believe your bravest, most alive chapter is still ahead of you.
I’m here for midlifers who feel that quiet nudge inside that says, there’s more for me. More joy, more courage, more adventure, more connection. The Say Yes Experience isn’t about being fearless or having it all figured out. It’s about choosing yourself, trusting your curiosity, and being willing to step outside what’s familiar so you can step into what’s possible.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
Built on Courage and Powered by One Brave Yes!
I was exhausted, burned out, and running on empty. I had given so much of myself to everyone else that I had forgotten how to feel alive in my own life. One day, my 9-year-old son Blaise looked at me and said, “Mom, what if we just started saying yes to things that make you happy again?” That simple question changed everything.
We started small. Saying yes to ice cream trips, a scavenger hunt, and trying new things. And something incredible happened. Each small yes woke me back up. What started as a way to survive burnout turned into a way to live fully. The Say Yes Experience grew from those simple moments into unique adventures in 30 countries in three years. It started a movement of courage, curiosity, and connection—helping people step out of comfort, into possibility, and back into the life they were always meant to live.

Jessica’s love for ice cream is legendary. The very first “Say Yes Experience” started with B suggesting they go find great ice cream because he knew it made her smile. Joy was the doorway to everything that followed.
Anytime Jessica hesitates or resists something new, Blaise looks at her and says, “This is a Say Yes Experience.” She secretly thinks it’s his genius way of getting what he wants…he might not be wrong.
Jessica was known as one of the top motivational speakers on burnout… and then found herself right on the edge of burnout. The Say Yes Experience was born from choosing to practice what she taught.
Jessica has written 13 books and once believed her life path would be hosting a talk show. She was a former talk show host and fully thought that was “the dream”… until life had other plans.
Jessica has never been married and is still open to love. So if you happen to know an amazing single man in her age range who loves adventure, courage, and ice cream… feel free to reach out.
The Say Yes Experience isn’t just a brand for Jessica. It’s a lifestyle she lives. She even embarked on 100 days of Say Yes Experiences, doing flying trapeze, driving a NASCAR, going homeless for 24 hours.
I'd love to get to know you too!
