The Things We Don't Talk About with Jessica Summers
Description
In this deeply honest episode of Unwritten, I sit down with my friend Jessica Summers — an author, speaker, and coach who has turned her own pain into purpose.
We talk about the things most people avoid: shame, silence, trauma, and the stories we were told to hide. Jessica opens up about her journey through survival, healing, and reclaiming her voice after years of being told she was “too much.”
This conversation is real, emotional, and at times heavy — but it’s also filled with light. It’s about remembering that transformation doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from truth.
If you’ve ever carried pain quietly, questioned your worth, or wondered if you could ever start again, this one’s for you. Because healing begins the moment you decide to stop hiding.
⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes discussions of sexual trauma and violence. Please take care while listening.
