The “We Don’t Care” culture is trending — and on thesurface, it sounds empowering. We see it everywhere: “I don’t care what people think.” “I don’t care that my husband left.” “I don’t care I don’t have any friends.” But underneath the slogans and sass, something deeper is happening.We’re confusing not caring with being strong, when in reality,true strength comes from caring deeply — about who we are, how we show up, and what kind of life we’re creating.

In this raw and real episode of the Say Yes Experience,we’re flipping the narrative. Because here’s the truth: when you stop caring, you stop connecting. You stop growing. You stop paying attention to what your soul is trying to tell you. You go numb — and numb isn’t empowered.

We’ll unpack why “not caring” has become an emotional shield for so many women — a way to avoid rejection, failure, or the discomfort of change. And we’ll talk about what it really looks like to care differently: to care enough to speak your truth, to chase your dreams, to demand more from your relationships, and to stop hiding behind excuses or circumstances.

You’ll hear real talk about what caring looks like when:

This isn’t about makeup, perfection, or pretending to haveit all together. It’s about intentional living. It’s about showing up boldly for your one life — with curiosity, courage, connection, and confidence.

Because when you care — really care — you take your powerback.
You stop living on autopilot and start living with purpose.
You start saying yes to yourself, and no to everything that keeps you small.

So no, we’re not joining the “We Don’t Care Club.”
We’re starting something stronger — a movement of women who care so deeplyabout their lives that they refuse to settle for less than extraordinary.

What would your life look like if you stopped letting embarrassment and judgment hold you back? How many opportunities, adventures, and memories are you missing out on because you’re worried about how you’ll be perceived?

In this episode of the Say Yes Experience Podcast, Jessica shares a hilarious yet eye-opening story from Day 11 of her 100 Days of Say Yes Experiences Challenge. For Mother’s Day, she and her son went thrift shopping, picked out the most outrageous outfits they could for each other, and then wore them—proudly or not so proudly—out to dinner.

One of them walked tall, smiling and laughing, completely unbothered by what anyone thought. The other? Hunched shoulders, nervous glances, and wishing they could disappear. But as the night unfolded, something shifted. What started as a silly experiment with mismatched clothes turned into a powerful lesson about confidence, courage, and the freedom that comes from living unapologetically.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

If you’ve ever felt held back by fear of judgment or the weight of other people’s opinions, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to live that way anymore. The freedom you want is already available—you just have to choose it.

So if you’re ready to stop shrinking, stop second-guessing, and finally start living boldly for yourself, this episode is your permission slip to begin.

✨ And wait until you hear what happened in the parking lot after dinner—it’s the perfect example of how quickly embarrassment can creep back in… and what you can do about it.🎁

On Day 10 of my 100 Days of Say Yes journey, I finally crossed something off my “someday” list: paintball. Ever since watching 10 Things I Hate About You as a teenager, I thought, one day, I’m going to do that. But year after year, I didn’t. Why? Because everyone told me the same thing: “Paintball hurts.”

So, I avoided it—until now.

This episode takes you behind the scenes of my first paintball match: a one-on-one showdown against my son, B. Spoiler alert: he shot me in the head (and I definitely didn’t see it coming). But what surprised me most wasn’t the sting of the paintball—it was how quickly my fear and self-doubt dissolved once I stepped into the game.

Even more eye-opening? When I played with a larger team, I told myself I’d stay back, play safe, and avoid pain. But in the heat of the moment, instinct took over, and I pushed to the front line. The paintball employee said it best: “You doubted yourself—you said you’d stay back, but you charged forward.”

This episode isn’t just about paintball. It’s about how fear, stories, and doubt keep us from stepping into our own front lines in life.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

1. The Story Hurts More Than the Reality — Most of the pain we fear is imagined, fueled by other people’s warnings or our own mental scripts.

2. Courage Comes Before Confidence— Sometimes you don’t feel ready, but action proves that you are braver than you think.

3. Front Line Living Unlocks Growth — The place you fear most might be exactly where your potential is waiting.

If you’ve ever found yourself holding back because of what “they say” or because you doubted yourself, this episode is your nudge to stop playing defense and step into the front line of your own life.
