Backing Yourself & Turning Adversity into Action with Jessica Wilson

Welcome to the second episode of the Girls Onboard Podcast! Today, we have a super inspiring message from powerhouse Jessica Wilson, a serial entrepreneur and the Co-founder of Women Making Waves.

Above all, Jessica shares amazing advice on how to stand up and truly back yourself. “If you’re there, you deserve to be there. What are you going to do with it?” - Jessica Wilson
