    The Psychology of Power: Who Do We Become?

    🎙️ Season 2, Episode 3: The Psychology of Power: Who Do We Become? What happens when ordinary people are given power? Does authority change who we are, or does it simply reveal parts of ourselves we didn't know existed? In this episode of Stronger Than Yesterday with Jessica B., we're diving into the fascinating world of human behavior, psychology, and the influence of authority. We're exploring two of psychology's most famous and controversial studies: the Stanford Prison Experiment and the Milgram obedience experiments. Both raise some pretty uncomfortable questions about how people respond to authority, expectations, and the pressure to follow along. But this episode isn't just about psychology experiments from decades ago. It's about everyday life. From parenting and relationships to leadership and personal growth, we're talking about what it means to have influence over others and the responsibility that comes with it. And, of course, we'll have a few laughs along the way. Because apparently, being a responsible adult doesn't automatically mean we know what we're doing. 😂 We'll explore why having authority doesn't always mean having all the answers, why humility matters, and how learning to question ourselves might be one of the most important parts of growing. Because real strength isn't about how much power you have. It's about what you choose to do with it. Join me for a little psychology, a little humor, and some honest reflection on the people we are and the people we're still becoming. ❤️ Stronger Than Yesterday — because growth isn't about being better than everyone else. It's about being better than the person you were yesterday. #StrongerThanYesterday #JessicaB #ThePsychologyOfPower #PersonalGrowth #HumanBehavior #Leadership #SelfAwareness #LifeLessons #Podcast

    “I Thought Adults Knew What They Were Doing”

    Season 2, Episode 2: I Thought Adults Knew What They Were Doing Remember being a kid and thinking adults had everything figured out? Like there was some magical age where you suddenly knew how to make good decisions, manage your life, and have all the answers? Yeah… turns out that was a lie. 😂 In this episode of Stronger Than Yesterday, we're talking about one of the biggest surprises of growing up: realizing that most adults are just winging it, too. From questionable decisions and unexpected life lessons to realizing that age doesn't automatically come with wisdom, I'm taking a look at what it really means to be an adult. We'll laugh about the things we thought we'd know by now, reflect on the lessons we learned the hard way, and talk about why maybe having it all figured out was never the point anyway. Because sometimes growing up isn't about finally knowing what you're doing. It's about learning how to handle the moments when you have absolutely no idea. Welcome back to Stronger Than Yesterday with Jessica B. — where we're still figuring it out, one questionable decision at a time. ❤️ #StrongerThanYesterday #JessicaB #IThoughtAdultsKnewWhatTheyWereDoing #LifeLessons #GrowingUp #PersonalGrowth #RealLife

    The People We Meet: Blessings, Lessons, and Everything in Between

    In this episode of Stronger Than Yesterday, Jessica B. talks about the people who shape us along the way—the blessings, the lessons, and the ones who somehow become both. From family members who taught resilience and integrity, to lifelong friends, unexpected friendships, love, and the people who challenge us to see more in ourselves, this episode is about the pieces people leave with us. Some leave hope. Some leave backbone. Some leave loyalty, belief, peace, or perspective. And sometimes, the people who make the biggest impact have no idea they ever did. This episode asks one simple question: What did they leave behind in you—and what are you leaving behind in someone else? Because every conversation, every act of kindness, every time we show up, and every time we choose someone becomes part of somebody else’s story. The People We Meet: Blessings, Lessons, and Everything in Between is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply personal look at the people who help make us who we are—and how they help us become stronger than yesterday.

    The Butterfly Effect

    What if the biggest day of your life didn’t feel important while you were living it? In this episode of Stronger Than Yesterday, I’m going down the rabbit hole of all the tiny choices, random conversations, closed doors, missed opportunities, and ordinary moments that quietly shape our lives. We’ll talk about the roads we didn’t take, the lives we almost lived, and the people who changed our stories without ever realizing it. But here’s the real mind-bender: what if you’ve been the butterfly in someone else’s life too? This episode isn’t about believing everything happens for a reason. It’s about recognizing that even the moments we barely notice can create ripples we may not understand until years later. So slow down, pay attention, and don’t underestimate today—because this ordinary moment might be the one that quietly changes everything.

    We Didn't Get the Easy Version of Family

    What happens when you spend your whole life not knowing your siblings exist... only to discover they were wondering about you too? In this episode, my sister, Erica, joins me for one of the most personal conversations I've ever shared. We talk about finding each other, losing each other, and somehow finding our way back again. Our story isn't perfect. It's filled with unanswered questions, family heartbreak, laughter, years we can never get back, and a whole lot of healing. From a phone call that changed everything... to meeting for the first time during Thunder Over Louisville... to the years that pulled us apart and the love that brought us back together, this is the story of two sisters who grew up with only half the story. If you've ever experienced family estrangement, complicated relationships, blended families, adoption, forgiveness, or simply wondered if it's ever too late to rebuild a relationship, this episode is for you. Because sometimes... You don't get back the years you lost. But if you're lucky... You get the people back. Thank you for being part of the Stronger Than Yesterday family. If this episode speaks to you, I'd love for you to share it with someone who might need to hear it. #StrongerThanYesterday #Podcast #Family #Sisters #Healing #Forgiveness #FamilyRelationships #Resilience #Hope #PersonalGrowth

    What Do You Like To Do?

    About four years ago, someone asked me a question that should have been easy to answer: "What do you like to do?" The problem was...I couldn't answer it. Not because I don't love my life. I do. I love being a wife. I love being a mom. I love leading a team. I love making a difference in people's lives. But somewhere along the way, every answer I had involved someone else. In this episode, I'm having one of the most honest conversations I've ever had, not about my past, but about my present. What happens when you've worked so hard to build a life you're proud of that you forget to make room for yourself inside it? We'll talk about ambition, identity, responsibility, success, and the quiet fear that many of us carry: If people didn't need me anymore...would they still choose me? This isn't an episode about regret. It's about learning that my ambition built a life I'm incredibly proud of...and now I have to learn how to live inside the life it built. If you've ever felt defined by your job, your family, your responsibilities, or the roles you play for everyone else, I hope this conversation reminds you that the person beneath those titles is still worth knowing. So let me ask you the same question that changed me years ago... What do you like to do? Let's figure it out together. Because becoming stronger than yesterday isn't about becoming someone new...it's about refusing to lose the person you've been all along

    The Survival Skills I Never Outgrew

    People pleasing. Emotional shutdown. Hyper-independence. Being the strong one. For most of my life, I thought these were personality traits. I thought they were the reason I survived everything life threw at me. The truth? They were survival skills. In this deeply personal episode, I share the lessons I learned as a child, the loss of my dad Steve, the relationships that shaped me, the years I spent carrying everyone else's happiness, and the moment I realized surviving isn't the same as living. This is a story about grief, resilience, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, and the journey of learning that you don't have to carry everything alone. If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else... If you've ever struggled to ask for help... If you've ever hidden your pain behind a smile... This episode is for you. Because sometimes the things that saved us deserve gratitude... But they don't deserve permanent residency. 🎙️ Stronger Than Yesterday with Jessica B "The six-year-old version of me learned: Nobody is coming.
