MEET YOUR DREAM-BELIEVING MUSE
Jessica Upchurch-King
I’ve been a dreamer since I was a little girl, with my first dream of becoming a collegiate basketball player. I always thought I would live in the gym as a P.E. teacher and basketball coach. However, a nudge to move abroad led me to teach P.E. in Uganda and China. Despite traveling 20+ countries, I felt something was still missing and contemplated starting a nonprofit, only to be held back by thoughts of “I’m not smart enough.” With encouragement from my now-wife, I took the leap, trusting my passion. This journey opened my eyes to the power of mindset work, leading me to become a life and business coach. Now, I empower other women to overcome the whispers of self-doubt, pursue their deeper callings, and step into a life that feels like a dream.
