The podcast

Young &
Adulting

Real talk on life & career.

My podcast about the two things every young adult is figuring out at the same time: your personal life and your career. Honest stories, lessons learned the hard way, and practical takes from someone building a career in customer success and operations while still figuring out the rest.

Your host

By day I build calmer systems for growing teams. By mic, I figure out life out loud.

I’m Jesel, Jess to listeners. I’m a Cancer, so I lead with heart; I’m also the friend who plans the trip, cracks the joke, and still hits the goal. The show is where both halves of my life meet: the personal stuff we all go through, and the career lessons I’m learning in real time.
