Fucking Stop It!!! It’s Jessie from ‘Get A Fresh Start’, best known for her work on the recent ‘Flick the Tick’ campaign where she took on the Heart Foundation and their revoltingly misleading tick program.

Meet foul-mouthed (preach those f-bombs oh candid one) yet sweet-hearted Jessie …

Where did your open-minded adventure begin? Was there a significant event that shifted you into gear, or did your outlook on life simply shift over time?

My journey of empowerment began when I kept being told food had nothing to do with my symptoms, it was all in my head and I just needed antidepressants, over and over again by medical professionals. It got to the point where it was change or die, so I chose to take my health into my own hands and dived into heavily researching how I could help myself. Coming across the Weston A Price Foundation was a huge eye opener and catalyst for me.

What drives your enthusiasm for self-care and optimism?

My beautiful young boys and partner, the gifts I have to give to the world, the legacy I want to leave and the lives I want to help change.

What keeps you goofy and ‘down to earth’?

Definitely my partner- he calls me out on my bullshit every time, my healer Kurt, my counsellor Georgia, my mentors Vanessa Jean and Deborah Husbands, my friends and my family.

How do you keep exercise FUN?

I love to dance, and make love of course and I LOVE to swim in the ocean. Everything is bliss when I am swimming.

When it comes to nutrition, what is your philosophy?

I believe it is important to love what you eat, if you hate kale, don’t force that shit down. Make beautiful, delicious meals to nourish your body from authentic, real ingredients and barring any health conditions be a little naughty now and then.

How do you overcome limiting thoughts and rationalise negativity?

This is one that I struggle with immensely. I have spent the largest part of my life being extremely negative and thinking the worst of others and my life. These days I meditate, say affirmations, practice mantras, sit with crystals, use different essential oils, lie in the sunshine, receive healing and love from others and most of all PRACTICE. When I can feel my self slipping into dickhead land I bring myself back.

Question EVERYTHING and when you think you’ve got it right, question that. Keep questioning and learning forever. Do not assume that authorities and ‘experts’ have all the answers. Respectfully analyse and use critical thinking at all times.
