I’ve walked through almost every chapter a woman can face — a difficult childhood, complicated love, motherhood, public life, loss, and the long, messy work of finding my voice again. For years I searched for purpose beneath achievement, activism, and caregiving. What I eventually discovered was that healing isn’t about returning to who we were — it’s about becoming who we were meant to be.

That’s the essence of my own Heroine’s Path: a story of reclaiming self-trust after years of doubt, disappointment, and silence. I fought hard for that trust — and now, I want every woman I meet to have it for herself. My work is about helping women remember their power, rebuild their direction, and re-emerge with clarity and courage.

I founded FoxARC Coaching to offer what I once needed: grounded, trauma-informed support for women standing at the edge of what’s next. My framework — FOX: Find • Own • eXpand — grew out of my own journey. It’s not about fixing yourself; it’s about learning to trust your story and expand into the life that calls you forward.

Before launching FoxARC, I spent years in public service as an elected official in Jackson, Wyoming, shaping policy on housing, childcare, and equity. That experience taught me how systems succeed — and how often they fail — in supporting real human growth. It deepened my commitment to helping individuals cultivate resilience and autonomy both within and beyond those systems.

Academically, I hold a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor’s in International Studies, Culture, and Communication from The City College of New York. I completed advanced certification through Mentor Agility’s Trauma-Informed Coaching Program, a world-class, ICF- and NBHWC-accredited training led by Dr. Julie Elledge, and I’m licensed in the Hero’s Journey® Change Model through the Joseph Campbell Foundation.

I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with my husband, son, and two cattle dogs. When I’m not coaching, I’m usually outside — skiing, paddle boarding, or writing. I’m currently at work on a memoir about my own heroine’s path — a story about becoming, belonging, and the quiet strength it takes to start again.

Jessica’s mother’s name was Sandra Fox — and, just like her mom, foxes have always guided the arc of Jessica’s own heroine’s journey. In many cultures, the fox symbolizes adaptability, intelligence, and the ability to navigate between worlds — intuition meeting strategy, wisdom meeting play. For Jessica, the fox has been both a teacher and a guide: appearing in moments of transition, inviting her to trust instinct, creativity, and quiet persistence when logic alone wasn’t enough.

Through FoxARC Coaching, she hopes to help others follow their own “fox” — that inner guide that knows when to listen, when to leap, and when to begin again. It’s not about escaping the forest, but learning to move through it with clarity, courage, and grace.

Why “FoxARC”?
