In this episode, I’m trying something new.

This is the first Ask Me Anything episode under the new 2026 format, and I’m answering real, anonymous questions submitted on Instagram.

I talk about how to navigate the gap between the life you imagined and the life you’re living. I walk through how I use the STEAR model to separate neutral facts from the stories we tell ourselves, and how unexamined thoughts can quietly turn grief into suffering.

I also answer questions about feeling stuck, fulfillment in your career, redefining success, and one belief I had to unlearn in order to truly help others.

If you have a question you’d like answered in a future Ask Me Anything episode, I invite yours today. Send me a DM @jessicasmarro on Instagram or Facebook, or send your questions to jessica@jessicasmarro.com. Your question might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
