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.
