Today we’d like to introduce you to Jess Style.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Jess. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
As a child, I was able to identify that there was something different about me. I didn’t understand who exactly that person was and all of the details surrounding my difference but one thing that I did know was that I always tried to see the good no matter the situation. This perspective, along with different traumatic experiences, which included losing my son due to early delivery, led me to create a daily dose of DOPE. I wanted to be able to have a platform to provide a sense of D.irection O.ptimism clear P.erception and E.nthusiam to those when they needed it most. Ultimately, I don’t know where I would have been without the help of God and those who knew me best. I needed help in that moment and during that time, I was given the DOPE needed to get me to where I am now. The place that I am now allowed me to meet people on this journey of life and help them walk in the direction towards optimism, clear perception and enthusiasm. That is who I am and the foundation that the daily dose of DOPE stands on.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Leading up to launch day, there were so many obstacles that I had to overcome. These obstacles had nothing to do with anyone else outside of myself. I battled my mind, my thoughts, my doubts and fears. I struggled with whether or not what I was about to do would impact as my heart desired it to. I was also fearful that I would fail. The funny thing is the same mind that thought illusions of doubt and fear was the same mind that talked me out of fear and pushed me into faith. It reminded me the reason that I was doing what I was doing and cleared my thoughts and my perception. I started seeing these thoughts of doubt as a good sign. A sign that I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing at the time that I was meant to do it.
