The Jessica Burgio Show

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't a lack of clarity, time, money, or confidence? What if you're just really good at staying busy? In this solo episode, I'm coming to you from home after a full week of coaching and a powerful House of Influence call, reflecting on the version of me who said yes to a business mastermind back in 2019 without knowing where that decision would eventually lead. I couldn't see the podcast, the book, the speaking, the coaching business, or the rooms of women I would eventually lead. I just knew there was something more for me, and I decided to follow it. We're talking about what happens when you've spent 10, 15, or 20 years building experience in one direction and suddenly feel pulled toward something completely different, why starting something new doesn't mean you're starting over, and the ways incredibly capable women can use productivity to avoid making the decision they already know they want to make. I also share why I believe so deeply in getting into the right rooms, the power of accountability and sisterhood, and why sometimes you don't need another strategy. You need someone to notice that you're hiding. If you've been waiting for more time, more money, more clarity, more confidence, or for life to finally calm down before you make your move, this one's for you. The next round of House of Influence begins October 20th and there are still a few spaces available. If you've felt the nudge, reach out to me and let's have a conversation. And ask yourself this: Am I actually waiting for the right time, or am I waiting to stop being scared?

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of ambition, but the environment, relationships, and version of yourself you’re still trying to hold onto? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Heather Hellmann for a conversation about what it really takes to reinvent yourself, build a business that feels aligned, and become more comfortable being seen as who you actually are. We get into: Why entrepreneurship requires more than freedom, and what Heather learned from building, burning out, and rebuilding The role community and the right relationships play in your growth Why “failing forward” is still momentum Visibility, personal branding, and the fear of making the wrong move How Heather uses Human Design, astrology, and strategy in her work What choosing peace can cost you, and why some relationships won’t come with you The connection between your environment, energy, and the life you’re trying to create Why getting honest with yourself might be the first step toward real change The courage it takes to stop performing and start showing up as yourself One of the biggest reminders from this conversation is that we don’t need to have the entire next chapter figured out before we move. Sometimes we just need to admit that what’s working now isn’t where we want to stay. So take a look around. Who has access to you? Where is your energy going? What are you tolerating because it’s familiar? And if nothing changed from here, would you actually want this same life five years from now? Maybe the next version of you doesn’t need more permission. Maybe she just needs you to make the first move.

What if the thing that completely changes your life is something you can’t even see coming yet? In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend Lisa for one of the wildest full-circle conversations. She went from painting houses and physically working herself out of that career, to selling things out of her living room, to opening Retail Therapy, (a magical resale store) and creating a community she never could have planned for. We get into: What happens when life forces you to pivot before you feel ready Why asking for help can be one of the hardest, most necessary moves How Lisa turned selling things from her house into an actual storefront Building a business without having every detail figured out first Why putting yourself out there can create connections you never saw coming Getting over the fear of being judged, criticized, or seen The unexpected connection between decluttering your space and letting go of old versions of yourself Why human connection still matters more than ever in business Learning to stop obsessing over the entire plan and take the next right step Lisa’s story is such a reminder that we don’t always need to know exactly where we’re going. Sometimes we just need to be willing to move, pay attention to what’s right in front of us, ask for help when we need it, and trust that one decision can open a door we didn’t even know existed. If you’re in a season where something needs to change, maybe you don’t need the whole answer yet. Maybe you already know the next move.

What are you deciding today? That question became the thread running through this entire conversation with one of my dearest friends, Samantha Harper, and this episode went so many places I didn't expect it to go. Sam is a former trauma-informed therapist with more than 20,000 hours working with clients, an executive and consciousness coach, spiritual mentor, entrepreneur and four-time Best Alternative Wellness Practitioner in Arizona. She works with everyone from entrepreneurs to C-suite executives, but underneath all of it is something incredibly simple: helping people learn how to trust themselves again. And that's where we started. Why is trusting yourself so much harder than telling yourself to “trust yourself”? What happens when there's so much outside noise that you can't hear your own intuition anymore? Why do we outsource decisions we already know the answer to? And what changes when we finally stop negotiating with ourselves and DECIDE? We talk about the small moments of self-trust that build your capacity for the big ones, why investing in your internal growth can feel scarier than spending money on things that change the outside, and why healing doesn't have to wait until your life is falling apart. Then we get into manifestation, but not the fluffy “think about it and wait for the universe to drop it in your lap” version. Sam breaks down the connection between manifestation, nervous system regulation and neuropsychology, and why becoming capable of holding what you're asking for matters just as much as asking for it. And somewhere in the middle, this conversation takes a turn into something I personally needed to hear. We talk about visibility. Using your voice. Being misunderstood. Posting the thing even when you're scared. Allowing yourself to be spicy if you're fucking spicy. Letting your body of work speak for you instead of constantly trying to prove your credibility. Sam has recently seen massive growth in her content, and when I asked her what changed, her answer was basically: she stopped caring. Not because criticism doesn't affect her. Not because she's suddenly fearless. She still gets scared. She still posts something bold and wants to throw her phone across the room. She's simply stopped allowing fear to make the decision for her. We also talk about playing the long game, building relationships years before they turn into opportunities, doing the free work before you're paid incredibly well for the work, podcasting, pitching yourself, showing up consistently and becoming the same person online, onstage and behind closed doors. Because your body of work is building something even when you can't see the immediate payoff. This conversation is spirituality, strategy, healing, visibility, friendship, business and a little bit of us talking shit like we would over coffee because, quite frankly, that's exactly what it felt like recording it. So before you hit play, here's the question Sam leaves all of us with: What are you deciding today? Whatever came up when you read that, maybe it's time to stop waiting for someone else to validate it. ABOUT SAMANTHA HARPER: Samantha Harper is an executive leadership and consciousness coach, spiritual mentor, former trauma-informed therapist and award-winning alternative wellness practitioner.

How bad do you actually want the thing you keep saying you want? Because wanting it and being willing to stay with it when it gets boring, inconvenient, quiet, or uncomfortable are two completely different things. Join me as I share my thoughts about the part of building something meaningful that nobody really celebrates: the random Tuesdays when nobody’s clapping and you have zero proof that any of it is working. In this episode, I’m getting into: Why your first attempt probably won’t work exactly how you imagined, and why that’s actually useful What 400+ podcast episodes taught me about consistency, authority, and playing the long game Why you have to let people witness you becoming the person you say you want to be The difference between starting quickly and building something that lasts Why visibility requires more than posting content How constantly consuming information can keep you from trusting yourself and actually creating Why your coach, mentor, or community can support you, but they can’t want your dream more than you do Why depth, perspective, and a real body of work matter even more in a world flooded with short-form content and AI The question I think matters more than “How bad do you want it?” You do not need to know how the entire thing works out… You need to be willing to make the next move, put in the reps, let people watch you figure it out, and keep building before there’s undeniable proof that it’s working. Because you don’t get to episode 400 without recording episode 48 first.
