Today’s guest is Jessica Rose Williams. Jess is a writer, photographer and simple lifestyle blogger. She has the dreamiest Instagram where she documents her life in the peak district and talks about her passion for simplifying life and slowing down. Jessica is without a doubt one of my favourite people to follow online, not just because of her beautiful Instagram but for how she really trailblazes the way for defining success on your own terms and creating the life you really want beyond the expected norms of society and the corporate world. In today’s episode Jess takes us back to her time working in HR in the NHS and talks us through the process of self-discovery that led to her changing career to follow the things she cared about most, which also involved a move to her beautiful Peak District cottage. Jess talks frankly and honestly about her experiences and shares the insight and lessons that she has learned along the way. We talk a lot about letting go in this episode and how that plays such a big part in this journey of carving out a path of your own. Jess really has a unique perceptive insight on this topic which really does make you think about things differently. Other things we cover in this episode include: The culture of work and how it’s changing Defining success on your own terms Lessons Jess has learned and insights from her own experiences going self employed Overcoming ‘stories’ we’re told such as, work has to be hard, to do the work we really want to be doing Finding your voice Cultivating confidence online Jess's new e-book a Simplified Life
