The Fire of Motivation with Jessica Green

Jessica Green is co-host of The Mad Ones podcast, known as an absurdist comedy duo and a show where all sorts of liberty-minded and unusual characters go to get interviewed.

The other day Jessica sat down with Kurt to talk about a personal challenge that she faced with her health. Years after giving up her job as a waitress and becoming a housewife, she was catering a barbeque for a friend and suddenly noticed that she was out of energy.

Jessica became depressed for many months, coming to terms with the sad truth that she had let her health go by the wayside, until one day she made a decision to change her life for the better. She started looking at how to introduce positivity into her life, changing her exercise and her diet, changing the way she thought about things and the kinds of influences she allowed in her life.

In this interview we explore how to move forward from depression, how to create a positive environment, how to let go of toxic friendships, and how to increase our empathy for others.
