From Heartbreak to Helping Others: Finding Purpose After Loss with Jessie Inacio

Sometimes life hands you a chapter you never would have chosen, and somehow, you have to figure out how to write the next one. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jessica, founder of Jessie IB Cleaning, who lost her husband at just 25 years old and had to navigate life, grief and starting over at an age when most people are just figuring things out. Jessica turned an incredibly painful chapter into an opportunity to build a business, create meaningful connections and bring compassion into the lives of others. We’re getting real about losing someone, navigating life as a young widow, finding purpose after heartbreak and how to show up for people when they need it most. Because sometimes your hardest chapter becomes the reason you make a difference in someone else’s. IN THIS EPISODE: Navigating life and grief after losing her husband at 25. Finding the courage to start over and build a business. The special meaning behind Jessie IB Cleaning. Finding purpose after heartbreak. Why compassion and connection matter more than having the perfect words. How to support someone who is grieving. A reminder that starting over doesn’t mean forgetting what you’ve lost. It means finding a way to keep living, growing and making an impact. Connect with Jessie HERE Connect with Elyse on Social on IG OR on my website

6 Ways to Get Seen on Social Media (Without Becoming Another Copy-Paste Personal Brand)

You don’t need to post three times a day, follow every Instagram guru’s rules, or jump on every trending audio to get noticed. You need to become recognizable, memorable and unapologetically YOU. Let’s talk visibility, because there’s a massive misconception about what it actually takes to stand out on social media. We’re constantly being told when to post, how often to post, what content to create, which hooks to use and what we’re apparently doing wrong. And honestly? I’m over it. After building my own personal brand and coaching over 350 women, I’ve realized something: The women who stand out aren’t necessarily the ones posting the most. They’re the ones willing to think differently, have opinions and let people see who they actually are. In this episode, I’m sharing my take on what it REALLY takes to get noticed online, differentiate yourself in a crowded industry and build a personal brand that people actually remember. We’re getting into visibility, authenticity, personal branding and why following everyone else’s rules might be the very thing keeping you from standing out. If you’re tired of blending in, second-guessing your content or feeling like you have to become someone else to grow your business, this episode is for you. It’s time to stop copying what’s working for everyone else and start becoming known for YOU.
