The Role Model You Never Had with Jess Tiana
I'm Jess Tiana - trauma-informed strength and identity coach, former crisis counsellor, and the woman who rebuilt her body and her life from the ground up. This podcast is for women who are done surviving and ready to become the role model they never had. We talk about the real stuff - nervous system healing, body image, toxic relationships, identity, boundaries, and what it actually takes to stop abandoning yourself and start becoming her.
No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just the conversations that change everything.
