    Your Life Is The Content Strategy: If You Let It Be | 154: Jessica Turley

    Jessica Turley is a content creator and social media manager helping entrepreneurs stand out through personal branding and storytelling. She started at 18, building a wedding blog that unexpectedly grew into a successful business, which she later sold before turning 30. But after the exit, she realised she had no personal brand of her own and had to rebuild everything from scratch. Today, she runs her own agency while building a life around creativity, business, and freedom. In this episode, you’ll hear how Jessica built her first business by accident, what made it work, and how those lessons apply to personal branding today. We talk about starting from zero, growing on LinkedIn, and why consistency and authenticity matter more than perfection.
