Jess is a single mom to a teenage son. She works for the county at the local DSS, primarily with the homeless population and she has another part time job in a similar field. She started her podcast in June of 2022 called Unapologetically Overcoming. It discusses topics that usually have a negative stigma associated with them.

She has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder. She’s also been a victim of domestic violence & gone through other traumatic experiences, such as the sudden loss of her younger sister, but has been able to overcome them and has found happiness again.  Jess launched her own life coaching business early in 2024 called Unapologetic Life Coaching LLC. She offers services that focus on self love, mindset transformation, gratitude practices, & how to overcome barriers so you can live a full, authentic, unapologetic life. She is currently in the process of becoming a certified grief coach. Since the unexpected loss of her sister, she has discovered new purpose in helping others navigate grief and loss, as it is vital to the healing process.  In her spare time she enjoys spending time with friends and family, going to concerts, & traveling. She’s also passionate about advocating for racial/social justice, women’s rights, and human rights.  https://www.podbean.com/pi/pbblog-vzhxc-d7e1f6 [https://www.podbean.com/pi/pbblog-vzhxc-d7e1f6] https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-overcoming/id1625971200 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-overcoming/id1625971200] https://iheart.com/podcast/117678087 [https://iheart.com/podcast/117678087] https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f90c8092-f837-49ae-8d6f-3b92d1422c8c [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f90c8092-f837-49ae-8d6f-3b92d1422c8c] https://open.spotify.com/show/4y0hzYvNRc8bNPS5luFMSJ [https://open.spotify.com/show/4y0hzYvNRc8bNPS5luFMSJ] www.unapologeticlifecoachingllc.com [http://www.unapologeticlifecoachingllc.com/] IG: @unapologetically_overcoming Facebook: Unapologetically Overcoming - The Podcast

Life After Discard with Kelly

Kelly was raised in Columbus, Ohio and got her undergraduate degree in Secondary education - life science at Bowling Green State University in 2003. She then taught middle and high school science for 13 years and now teaches high school biology and Earth science outside of Columbus, and just entered her 21st year of teaching (a feat in itself). Married for 13 years, her marriage ended in 2021. Kelly has been embarking on a healing journey ever since. She became a lifeguard in 2022 and began managing a pool full time in the summer, eventually agreeing to spend most of her life with high school kids and learning their ever-changing language. In what little spare time she has left, she enjoys playing volleyball, going birding, long walks with the new pup and avoiding terrible dates. Kelly hopes to inspire/warn others with the vulnerability of her story.
