How to Build Self-Trust, Choosing Courage Over Comfort, Facing the Unknown, Leaving the Life You’ve Outgrown, & Building a Full Life Without Waiting for the Right Partner | Jess Windell
Episode 156
Tuesday, 21 July, 2026
#156: This week, Han sits down with Jess Windell, founder of Maven PR and a public relations expert to investigate what it takes to build a foundation of self-trust through acts of courage.Jess and Han have an honest conversation about the psychology behind confidence, courage, risk, productivity, ambition, and creating a life that feels meaningful beyond your career. Jess shares how calling off her wedding four months before it was supposed to happen became the catalyst for nearly every major decision that followed, and taught her that doing the hardest thing can open the door to an entirely different life. The girls get into:Why confidence is the outcome of courageHow taking risks builds self-trustCalling off a wedding when nothing was “wrong,” but it still wasn’t rightWhy comfort can keep you trapped in the wrong lifeLetting go of the timeline and future you plannedNavigating rejection, uncertainty, and unexpected changesManifestation beyond material goalsThe pressure to always be productiveWhy traditional ideas of rest do not work for everyoneSeparating your worth from your career, relationship, or motherhoodCreating a full life before finding a partner or having childrenWhy placing your entire identity into one area of your life can be dangerousAllowing different parts of your life to thrive during different seasonsThe psychology, vulnerability, and human connection behind PRWhy audiences are craving more truth and authenticityHow Jess went from never wanting to own a business to founding Maven ConsultingWhy many businesses are not ready for traditional full-service PRDemocratizing PR and making the industry more accessible& MORE!This episode is for anyone learning how to trust themselves, make a difficult decision, leave something that is comfortable but no longer aligned, or release the pressure to have their entire life figured out. Jess and Han remind us that confidence does not always come before the leap—sometimes, confidence is built by proving to yourself that you are capable of taking it.TIMESTAMPS:00:53 — Welcome Jess to the podcast01:07 — The psychology and human connection behind PR02:40 — Was Jess always confident?03:32 — Confidence is the outcome of courage05:30 — Why your life can become better when you take risks06:45 — How Jess learned to trust herself07:13 — Calling off her wedding four months before it happened08:43 — Leaving when nothing is wrong, but it is not right09:15 — How uncertainty keeps us trapped09:29 — Getting uncomfortable to find true comfort11:25 — Discovering a new life on the other side of fear12:06 — Manifesting the feelings you want to experience13:30 — Becoming too attached to the life you planned13:57 — Letting go of control and welcoming change15:35 — Finding balance within the gray areas16:05 — Productivity, anxiety, and the pressure to always be doing more19:12 — Why rest looks different for everyone22:03 — Would Jess make the same decision nine years later?23:05 — The conversation around whether women can “have it all”24:11 — Creating a full life outside of a partner and children24:43 — Why your entire identity cannot live in one area25:22 — Nothing in life will be a 10 out of 10 all the time27:08 — Understanding the different seasons of life29:02 — Why Jess never planned to start a business29:40 — Her desire to transform the PR industry30:00 — Building an in-house PR team at Perfect Bar31:30 — Earning a seat at the table34:10 — The meaning behind the name Maven36:00 — Why audiences are craving truth and vulnerability38:32 — Why Jess turns away potential clients39:20 — Democratizing and demystifying PRCONNECT BELOW:follow Jess herecheck out Jess's PR program Catalyst hereCONNECT with HAN:follow Han herefollow HOW I SEE IT herefollow Han on Substack herewatch HOW I SEE IT on YouTube hereshop the podcast merch herework with Han: howhanseesit@gmail.com
