Today we’d like to introduce you to Jesica Williams.
Hi Jesica, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was born in Jupiter, FL and spent the first 12 years of my life in the Florida sun and falling in love with the sport of soccer. Since then, life has taken me to Texas, New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri, and now Kansas. I discovered volleyball in middle school and I noticed quickly that I had an adeptness for the sport. This took me to college where I played volleyball for Rutgers University.
Through years of being a competitive athlete, I was in tune with fueling myself for performance and also had a relationship to the mindset needed to be my best in my sport. All of this experience and life lived led me to start a health blog in 2012 where initially I shared training diaries, what I was putting in my smoothie, etc.
14 years later, content creation and blogging is my primarily vocation. I strive to inspire my online community to live by the mantra #makegooduseofyourpulse and carve out their own authentic path in life. I enjoy sharing knowledge on the curative power of sunlight, nutrient-dense foods, clean skincare, and moving the body (like our bodies are built to). I do my best to simply embody it and be the example.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Smooth is not a word that I believe has applied to my story when you look at the aerial view of my life. However, in some ways – I’ve been given more than most (my family loves me, I am passionate about my work, my body is functional/I’m in good health, and the fire inside of me and my zest for life are still solid and present).
I’ve lived all over the United States and moved many times – some of those moves broke my heart and some of them felt like they set me free. It’s hard to regret any of it because it’s most definitely shaped how I live everyday now and the person I’ve become.
It hasn’t been smooth but I think smooth is not something we ACTUALLY want. “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a natural health blogger and founder of feelmoregooder.com and @feelmoregooder on social media. Most know me for being a sun seeker, my nature memes, cold plunges in frozen lakes, and laying in cold rivers to recalibrate. I’m most proud of being true to who I am in my content and not trying to fit in or be perfect in any way.
What sets me apart may be a better question for anyone that follows me because I don’t know that I have that ability to introspect. If I was guessing, I would just say that I stand out because I don’t follow the mainsteam nudges in many ways – I seek nature and not clinics for healing, I follow my heart in my business instead of corporate advice, and I am willing to disappoint people along the way in life so that I make sure I don’t disappoint myself.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
Sharing my posts helps! I’m always open to learning about brands in the natural health space that are looking to work with content creators to get the word out about their mission and brand. If you follow me and don’t ever feel compelled to buy any of the products that I share about and use – I’ve had people support thru venmo donations as a way to show their backing. I appreciate it so much and it literally and energetically fuels my workflow.
