Embrace It: Episode 62 Jessica Jordan Ping - Own Your Authenticity

Send us a text In this episode of Embrace It, Estela and Lainie welcome Jessica Jordan Ping, aka “The Rolling Explorer.” Jessica is a fierce advocate, adaptive fashion consultant, and creator who’s made it her mission to break down stereotypes about disability. Living with CHILD syndrome, a rare genetic condition affecting fewer than 60 people worldwide, Jessica brings a fresh perspective on what it means to truly “own it”—from the world of fashion to the challenges of travel, dating, and beyond. With humor and raw honesty, Jessica shares why she decided to embrace her uniqueness and put herself out there on social media, how she tackles accessibility issues on her travels, and why it’s so important to cut through the pity and just live life on your own terms. From her adventures in adaptive rock climbing to her memorable White House appearance, Jessica proves that representation doesn’t have to fit a mold. Listen in for a conversation that’s both real and refreshing, and discover why Jessica’s motto of “owning it” is an invitation for everyone to live a little more authentically.
