Choosing Opportunity in the Impossible

Jessica is an expert in impossible circumstances. What on the outside appears to be limited options and impossible circumstances can be a chance for opportunity with the right mindset.

Hi, I'm Jessica Buchanan

I'm a kidnapping survivor, New York Times and Amazon Bestselling Author, motivational keynote speaker, and expert in finding opportunity in the impossible.

Jessica has been named one of the ‘150 Women Who will Shake the World’ by Newsweek, and her story was the most highly viewed 60 Minutes episode to air, to date. Jessica is a highly sought after inspirational speaker and her TEDx Pearl Street talk, ‘Change is Your Proof of Life’ has been the foundation for which she travels the world, inspiring audiences to access their resilience by identifying their own autonomy and choice in the middle of their own life-changing event.
