Episode Synopsis

There comes a point in every woman’s journey when she feels that pull to use her voice in a more meaningful, more expansive way. It’s the moment when sharing information becomes sharing transformation — when your story becomes the very thing that opens doors for others. In this episode, I’m exploring what it truly means to step into that calling, honor the message in your heart, and navigate the resistance that often rises as you move toward bigger stages. It’s a powerful reminder of what happens when you say yes to your own voice.

Today, I’m joined by the incredible Jessica Hammock, a speaker and mental health leader who recently stepped into her biggest speaking opportunity yet. Jessica and I worked together inside my Speak Easy program to shape her keynote, and in this conversation, she shares the behind-the-scenes journey — the challenges, the spiritual nudges, and the breakthroughs — that brought her to that stage. I can’t wait for you to hear her transformation.

Join me today as Jessica and I discuss:



Why shifting from teaching to storytelling can dramatically deepen your impact




How Jessica recognized the message she was truly meant to share — and the “divine download” that guided her




The resistance and unexpected challenges she faced leading up to her keynote, and the grounding practices that carried her through




The powerful meaning behind her message of Hope Steelers, Hope Dealers, and Hope Healers




The surprising opportunities that opened up after her talk, including paid speaking invitations and new visibility




How showing up early and staying late at events can exponentially increase connections and bookings




Jessica’s expanded vision for speaking on larger, faith-based, and transformational stages




Jessica’s story is such a beautiful reminder of what can unfold when you trust your voice and share your story with intention. If this conversation stirs something in you — a desire to speak more, to lead with your story, or to get on bigger stages — I want you to know that it’s possible for you too. Your voice matters, and your message matters. When you’re ready, come explore what’s available inside my Speak Easy program or any of the storytelling resources at LIGHTbeamers.com. I’d love to support you on your journey.
