Before
The Approach
Using Fearless You
She learned to make choices that were best for her rather than do what everyone else wanted or expected of her.
The Solution
Successful Outcome
Jessica started a new career as a travel nurse. She tripled her income and feels a newfound sense of control over her life.
“I wanted to grab the reigns of my life...”
Jessica was a full-time nurse and student.
She dreamed about becoming a travel nurse. Though she never took the leap because she was afraid of what others might think.
She didn’t want to upset her manager or anyone else she worked with. So she stayed at her job to avoid rocking the boat.
Jessica had lived her whole life this way. She always did what others wanted rather than doing what was best for her. And she was sick of it. She wanted to pursue her dreams without letting the opinions of others stop her. As she says:
“I wanted to live my life out loud. I wanted to make choices that were best for me because most of my life has been spent doing things because other people wanted me to, and saying “yes” when I wanted to say “no.”
I wanted to grab the reigns of my life and make it what I knew it could be.”
“It helped me rediscover myself”
As this was happening, Jessica underwent weight loss surgery.
She lost 150lbs. And her rapid transformation led to body dysmorphia.
Jessica wanted to feel comfortable in her body again. When she saw Rhonda Britten’s free Fearless Body Challenge, she signed up.
Through the challenge, Jessica learned to separate who she is from how her body looks. And she gained a newfound love and appreciation for her body.
Once the challenge ended, Jessica heard about Fearless You. She thought it could help her gain the courage to go after her dreams, so she signed up.
“Fearless Body was so instrumental in [helping me] rediscover myself and my body that Fearless Yousounded like a no-brainer.”
“I learned to ask for what I need...”
Jessica had always been a people-pleaser.
She would say “yes” when she wanted to say “no” because she didn’t want to upset anyone.
So she would agree to things like dog sitting fora friend even though she didn’t want to. Or she’d work herself to exhaustion because she was afraid to ask for a break.
Then, inside Fearless You, she took a course on Getting Your Needs Met.
She learned to set boundaries and speak up for herself. So she could say “no” to dog sitting or take a break at work when she needed it.
Jessica was shocked to find that people weren’t upset when said “no.” Instead, they were inspired. They saw Jessica set boundaries and speak up for herself, and it made them want to do the same.
“The story I tell myself about what happens when I ask for what I need, 99% of the time, it’s not true or correct.
By asking for what I need, it shows people they can ask for what they need, too.”
“I tripled my Income...”
Through Fearless You, Jessica realized it was up to her to create the life she wanted.
But she was afraid.
She was scared people would be upset if she became a travel nurse.
And she was afraid of the unknown.
Through Fearless You, Jessica got the tools to move past those fears. One thing that helped tremendously was the Fearless You community. Jessica knew the other members would support her decision to become a travel nurse. She knew that even if it didn’t work out, the members of the community would be proud of her for trying.
Knowing she had so many people in her corner gave her the courage to take the leap and become a travel nurse.
She now does that full-time, and she loves it!
Jessica makes 3X more than she did at her old nursing job. And that has led to a more peaceful and enjoyable life.
“I tripled my income by travel nursing.
It’s really nice to go to the grocery store or put gas in the car without having to check my balance first to know that I can fill the tank all the way up. ...
Buying a house, buying a car, paying off student loans --that all feels feasible now whereas before it didn’t.”
“There’s more growth to do...”
“Whatever I’m struggling with at any particular moment on any particular day, I know there’s something in Fearless you...that can support me.”
“I know who I am and that I can achieve my dreams”
Through Fearless You, Jessica has taken control of her life.
She stopped people-pleasing and started to speak up for herself.
And she gained the confidence to achieve her dreams.
That’s led her to triple her income and step into a new career she loves.
Jessica also lives with a newfound sense of peace. Because she now makes decisions based on what she wants, rather than letting the thoughts and opinions of others control her life.
“I know if I’m coming from a place of freedom and wholeness and peace,then I’m making the right decision for myself regardless of what anyone may think or feel.”
