Meet #RELImpacter Jess Bonasso
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”- Jess Bonasso
Jess Bonasso, founder of Brave Life Consulting also known as The Self Care Goddess, is a Brave Life Catalyst & Midlife Rescue coach, author & keynote speaker who has been empowering Worn Out Working Wonder Heroes since 2007. As a result of overcoming the high-achieving habits & saboteurs from her 20’s that led her into burnout, strife & a proverbial midlife crisis in her early 30’s, she created The Brave-Hearted Way, a hero’s guide to courageous authenticity & brave-hearted wholeness for the Worn Out Working Wonder Hero that teaches you how to energize your life & embrace your greatness so you can save yourself & serve others without sacrificing your soul, sanity or health.
As a member of the Sheer Impact Membership Community, we checked in with Jess to learn more about her entrepreneurial journey.
WHY DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS?
To be of service to humanity in a way that exponentially raises the frequency & vibration of them all, starting with myself first & to teach Worn Out Working Wonder Heroes everywhere how to live a life of courageous authenticity & brave-hearted wholeness so they can energize their life & embrace their greatness!
WHAT CHALLENGES HAVE YOU FACED AND OVERCOME?
Burnout, deep-seated fears, physical pain, depression, anxiety, failure & victim mentality, overwhelm & a midlife crisis are just a few of the internal challenges I've faced over the years. I've also faced a multitude of life challenges including childhood poverty, childhood & adulthood divorce, bankruptcy, major job transition, death of my father. The thing that has helped me the most with these challenges are the daily self-care/self-mastery/self-love practices I've adopted over the years that heal & energize my life.
WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED ABOUT RUNNING A BUSINESS:
Learn how to work smart (vs. hard) for your money so you have time to take care of yourself & live a life of brave-hearted wholeness.
OUR “IMPACT” FAMILY IS DRIVEN BY EMPOWERING WOMEN TO ACTIVATE THEIR BEST LIFE THROUGH THE FREEDOM OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP. HOW DO YOU DEFINE IMPACT?
I believe in the ripple effect & after seeing clients 1:1 & doing public speaking for 13 years, I'm ready to have a MUCH bigger impact in the world. My hope & prayer is to serve all of humanity by exponentially raising the frequency & vibration of all, starting with myself first. My motto for living a brave life is "be the change you wish to see in the world" & I want to teach everyone how to do the same in their own life & in their own unique, authentic way.
