Meet Jessica Przulj

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jessica Przulj a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jessica, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

From a young age, I was driven to perform — if there was a stage, I wanted to be on it. When I set my mind to something, I went for it. I even starred in musicals as a kid and performed in concerts.

But everything shifted in middle school. I started getting bullied by the friends I thought were closest to me, so I switched to a new crowd — only to find that the bullying got worse. I was pushed into lockers, punched, and called every name in the book. For a long time, I struggled to feel accepted anywhere. It felt like every group found a reason to gang up on me.

Still, I kept performing. I knew I’d face backlash for it, but I did it anyway — because the stage was where I felt most alive.

My mom used to tell me they were jealous, and while I didn’t fully believe it at the time, it taught me something powerful: to stop looking for approval from people who didn’t see my worth. Instead, I learned to create my own path, to stop trying to fit in and start standing out. That moment changed how I saw the world and how I moved through it.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Motherhood made me feel unseen and, in many ways, lost in my own life. I loved my children deeply, but I no longer recognized the woman staring back at me. As I began putting the pieces of my life back together postpartum, I realized it was the small wins — the small victories — that helped me feel like myself again. The shower I finally took. The healthy meal I prepared. The smooth bedtime routine with my kids.

Those little moments helped me turn the page and start blending the woman I was before children with the mom I was becoming. That’s when I realized my voice could be used in a new way — to support and motivate other mothers who felt like I once did.

These moms want more for their lives and families but often struggle to show up as the mother they hoped to be. I help them take an honest look at their habits and routines to see where their time is really going each day. Together, we reorganize their plans and tasks until they become more efficient within each block of time. That efficiency creates pockets of freedom — time they can finally pour into what matters most to them.

For some, that means losing weight or organizing their home. For others, it’s homeschooling their kids or starting a side business to bring in another income stream. Whatever their goal, I help them craft a plan that fits their real life — and stick to it with confidence.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

SKILL: Listening

Before motherhood, I spent 15 years building a very successful career behind the chair. The biggest skill I took from that season wasn’t just technical — it was the ability to truly listen. To hear my clients without thinking about what I was going to say next.

That skill has carried me farther than I ever imagined in this new chapter of my life and business. People need to be heard. When we’re fully present with someone’s words, we give them something most people never do — the feeling of being truly seen and understood. And that simple act of listening can create transformation long before any advice or strategy ever does.

SKILL: Stamina

I believe stamina is a skill — one that’s built through consistency. But real consistency only happens when you discover what you can realistically do forever. If you couldn’t wake up and do it again tomorrow for the next five years, then you won’t have the stamina to sustain it.

So start small. Find the smallest win you can commit to and get really good at that. Then, layer in more over time. And if you start to fall apart or lose your rhythm, don’t quit — just scale back to the last layer you could maintain and begin again from there. That’s how true stamina is built: not through perfection, but through the ability to keep returning to what’s sustainable.

Skill: Planning

Planning is 100% a skill — and one of the most foundational ones for growth. It’s not just about writing a to-do list or setting goals; it’s about creating a roadmap that aligns with your bigger vision.

If you can pause long enough to make a thoughtful plan to follow, you’ll reach your destination ten out of ten times. But effective planning also requires reflection and discipline — checking in regularly to make sure you’re still on course, adjusting when needed, and not being afraid to refine the plan as you grow.

True planning isn’t rigid — it’s strategic. And when you treat it like a skill, you’ll notice your confidence, consistency, and results rise together.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?

When I feel overwhelmed, the first thing I do is a brain dump.

Why? Because if you don’t know how many pieces are in the puzzle, there’s no way to put it together efficiently. A brain dump gives you the full picture — all the tasks, thoughts, and responsibilities cluttering your mind — laid out in front of you.

From there, you can group similar tasks and strategically plug them into your weekly plan.

It doesn’t magically erase the overwhelm, but it does eliminate that invisible fear of forgetting something important. That fear creates mental noise and keeps you stuck.

Once everything’s out of your head and in front of you, you can make clear, realistic decisions about:

How long things will take

What needs to happen first

What can wait

And what your weekly rhythm should actually look like

This simple step brings clarity, focus, and a sense of control, even when your to-do list is long.
