Who I help in making lasting change

I help over-thinkers, introverts and perfectionists get out of their own way and live the life they want now. Go from imposter to empowered

When you've tried everything on your own, it may be time to have a personal sounding board to access your inner wisdom and the power of self-discovery.

Spark Stories & Testimonials

  • A smiling woman with long wavy hair and blue eyeliner, wearing a black and white striped sleeveless top.

    "I’d recommend her as a coach to anyone seeking more from life.

    My goal from day 1 was to get a promotion and salary increase. I was able to nail that and get the title and pay I wanted. Jessica was easy to talk to, pushed me when needed (comfortably), helped me remain accountable, asked the right questions. I’d especially recommend her to other Latinas in the People Ops space due to her experience and background.” – Marisa Gomez, People Ops Manager

  • "If you are stuck in a rut or you think there is more to life than what you currently do, then work with Jessica to define the path for what's next in your life!

    In the six months I worked with Jessica, I left a job where I was spinning my wheels and that barely left me time for my family for a job that offers me more flexibility and more professional fulfillment.” – Mariana Abdala, Product Management Leader

    "I seek data instead of doubts.

    When we met…I constantly questioned my credibility. Internal monologue was largely negative. I was uncomfortable in my skin, and felt undeserved of my own success. I had put a ceiling over my own head and felt small and unable to break through to the next level. I let go of limits of negative thought loops and shed excess layers.”

    – Egan

  • Faren Hill, K-12 Literacy Curriculum Specialist

    "I let go of S.E.L.F -the stories, excuses, limits and fears that no longer serve me. "

    Jessica and I did multiple mock interviews, where she provided feedback in real time. I was officially ready for any company that came my way! I finally landed an interview and let Jessica know right away. We did a last minute mock interview and that same day I was offered my new job!
