The Unplanned DETOUR That Built a Thriving Business with Jessica Peters

In this episode, I’m joined by Jessica Peters, founder of the successful night-nannying business Cuddles and Care based in Vancouver. Jessica's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and surprising pivots.

She originally set out to become a doctor, but after facing serious health challenges, she was forced to change course. What followed was an unexpected journey into entrepreneurship, one she never imagined for herself.

We talk about:
- How a major life detour led her to discover her true calling
- The importance to being open to pivots
- Why she spent the first two years of business "waiting for the other shoe to drop"
- The impact of having ONE person believe in you

Jessica’s perspective is raw, refreshing, and deeply inspiring, especially for anyone navigating a big life shift or doubting their place in the entrepreneurial world.
