Jessica Jay Dee is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, mindset coach and business strategy consultant. She is a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Practitioner, Organizational Leadership Coach and Marine Corps veteran.
Jessica was born in a double wide trailer in back country southern Illinois in 1984, to her parents, Jimmy and Janet Bruden. She has a little brother, JD, who is a year younger. Her family moved to Colorado Springs, CO when she was eight years old. She never played a single team sport growing up, but she enjoyed the arts (drama, jazz choir, solo and ensemble, literature and creative writing). Her report cards often reflected A's or F's, which was also reflective of her interests. She attended summer school and enrolled in correspondence courses for basic mathematics in order to graduate high school, yet still managed to graduate on time and with honors in 2002.
Jessica enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age seventeen, just before September 11th, 2001, under the motivation and mentorship of her Junior Recruit Officer Training Corps Instructor, retired Marine Corps First Sergeant, Angelo "Joe" Serrone.
Jessica served over twelve years on active duty in the Marine Corps, as an air traffic control tower supervisor, formal aviation instructor, legal administration chief, equal opportunity advisor (EEO), sexual assault victim's advocate, and as a Detachment Commander, advising United States Ambassadors Chiefs of Mission at foreign embassies under the Marine Security Guard Program. Jessica served as a Tower Crew Chief in Iraq during Operation Enduring Freedom and has lived abroad in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Prague, Czech Republic and Havana, Cuba while working alongside the State Department. She has traveled to over 25 countries.
After leaving the Marine Corps as a Gunnery Sergeant in 2014, she founded and led three start up companies and has created a unique brand for herself along the way. In 2017, she was individually recruited for placement as the United States National Director of Training and Business Development for a bio-technology start up company out of the UK. During which, she led teams in branding, marketing, public relations, order fulfillment, and operations. Jessica left her position in 2018 to pursue the writing of her book full time- and somehow manifested the exact income to keep her mortgage paid and dreams funded.
Jessica is adaptable, feminine, fun, eloquent, eclectic, and tenacious. She is single with no children, and experiencing the brutal world of dating--- after divorce--- at age 35.
She lost her father in May 2018 to alcoholism, and has definitely lost her sense of self throughout her journey, as well as discovered and reinvented herself time and time again.
Jessica Jay Dee attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University for her undergraduate degree in Professional Aeronautics and Master’s Program in Project Management while on active duty.
Jessica resides in Los Angeles, CA and Denver, CO. In addition to coaching and consulting, she is heavily involved in many entrepreneurial endeavors in the realms of business platform innovation, global thought leadership and human consciousness.

What do we truly believe?
What have we been programmed to believe?
What are we ready to let go of?
What are we ready to take responsibility for?
Our emotions and desires influence our goals and perspectives. Our self-awareness and self-discipline however, build our life experiences.
POTENTIALLY HUMAN is a book that takes you on a journey of human potential with the author as she explores our secret vulnerabilities, and our deepest desires to love, to be loved, to find success, strength, and fulfillment as a species.
This book does not intend to fix us, it simply shows us how to find the beauty and pride in the pieces that we perceive as broken. Only then, can we work towards the repairing and healing required in order to grow. We must face the fear of finding out who we are so that we can become who we are meant to be.
What you’ll get out of this book
By Jessica Jay Dee
Dedicated to the author's mentor, Marine Corps First Sergeant, Angelo Joseph Serrone, and her father, Jimmy Dwight Bruden.
The beginning and the end. Our arrival to and departure from this earth has great meaning, but we do not often draw as much attention to the moments in between.
No amount of reading, self-help, seminars, or coaching sessions will achieve actionable results until we can understand ourselves, our mindset, desires, triggers and motivations. Self exploration and worldly perception is the key to lasting positive change in our lives.

Article: (LifeHack) Adela Belin, December, 2018
[We must] strive to go beyond [our] preconceived notions that might be limiting [us] and this can only be achieved with constant self-improvement.
So, whether you are a retired 65-year old or a 26-year old who is just starting off his/her career – remember that you will always be a work in progress and there can never be an end to learning about yourself. That is what makes life purposeful and fun.

Traditionally, the Baby Boomers have been the main consumers of self-improvement services. While they remain an important group, the tide is shifting.

Article (Forbes): Jules Schroeder, January 2018
According to one survey, 94% of millennials reported making personal improvement commitments and said they’d be willing to spend nearly $300 a month on self-improvement.

Millennials/Generation Y'ers are the future of the self help industry, yet Generation X and Boomers are still seeking self development and voices of inspiration. Subject matter experts are not catering to a universal audience that is just as applicable to Millennials.

In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.”
3. Mindset The New Psychology of Success
After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.
4. Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges
by Amy Cuddy
“The research I’ve been doing for years now joins a large body of inquiry into a quality I call presence. Presence stems from believing in and trusting yourself—your real, honest feelings, values, and abilities. That’s important, because if you don’t trust yourself, how can others trust you? Whether we are talking in front of two people or five thousand, interviewing for a job, negotiating for a raise, or pitching a business idea to potential investors, speaking up for ourselves or speaking up for someone else, we all face daunting moments that must be met with poise if we want to feel good about ourselves and make progress in our lives. Presence gives us the power to rise to these moments." —Amy Cuddy (from, “Presence”)

PROLOGUE
THE FINAL ASCENSION - THE BEGINNING AND THE END
(FLOWER OF LIFE)
“As long as we keep dying feeling unfulfilled from this life, as long as we keep dying carrying out our superficial desires and expectations that create misery and suffering for ourselves and others, and as long as we continue to identify with our false senses of ‘self’ – we will continue to return to this world until we reach fulfillment.” -Unknown
Blackness fills the room. My body feels cold… pain fades, like the final glow of sunset, sinking into the curve of the earth. Just as the very last flicker of light disappears, a steady and consistent eruption of golden energy fills my heart, and wraps me in a blanket of light… I am no longer cold. I have been here before. This light, this journey, is far too familiar. There is no time, no space, no gravity… no identity. Faster than the speed of light, I am carried through a brilliant gateway, propelled by shooting stars. My body is not with me. I have no fear, nor anxiousness. I realize… I am the stars. I am the matter within which those stars exist. I am; earth, air, fire, water. I am ether; and I am creation itself.
I recall that this is my final journey home. I will return to earth, but not this one. A part of me aches for the souls left behind, both those living, and others, who have yet to be born. For they will continue to experience much more suffering. Another part of me believes I will miss the physical senses, and expressions of human love. The sound of a baby cooing. The vibration of my own voice when jubilant and erupting in laughter. The smell of crisp mountain air, or the salty ocean breeze. The taste of a perfectly seasoned, al dente pasta dish, paired with a full-bodied glass of red wine. The sight of breathtaking magnificence created by human minds and hands, whether through architecture, gardens, or physical affection. Touch. God, touch was my absolute favorite. I always yearned to touch soft things: grass, fresh and fluffy cotton towels, feathers, fur, and the warm, trembling bare skin of a lover.
But now is not the time for reflection and nostalgia. I have an agreement to fulfill. There is much work to be done.
INTRODUCTION
KNOWLEDGE VERSUS WISDOM
(THE PENDULUM)
Light cannot exist without darkness. Just as humans cannot revel in wonder without having known doubt. I beg you to consider for a moment that the teachings, experiences and opinions contained within this book are shared in order to further a conversation that has been taking place for thousands of years. There are dark periods and there are periods of light. Humanity is on the cusp of what philosophers and spiritual teachers consider to be a collective global awakening. The human race is ascending to a level of consciousness that is better equipping leaders, teachers and mentors to assist and guide others through this awakening.
A human who is awakening into a higher functioning and more expansive state has been called many things: gifted, clairvoyant, medium, psychic, precognitive, conscious, mindful, meditative, tantric, peaceful, and even all-knowing. Mindfulness teachers and consciousness ambassadors exist because their souls have seen (if only even for a moment) the magnanimous universal love that exists between all living things and beings. They want to assist humanity in gaining awareness of that universal love and mentor those through their desire and ability to create love and experiences in their four dimensional world. There are humans who exist among us who appear just like you and me. Let’s refer to these beings as “light workers.” They have experienced the first step in the collective leap: individual wakefulness. These individuals are usually innately very artistic, expressive and compassionate; whether by entering into an art or practice at a young age, or by inner reflection or a moment that has ignited their desire to end suffering or spread love and beauty.
There are also temporary and sudden awakenings, which is commonly ignited from a near death experience, a sudden medical diagnosis, or by experiencing a devastating loss of possessions, status and/or identity. This is also referred to as hitting rock bottom. When there is no further downward to travel, the ego begins to search for a way up. The only answer to some is to emerge from the lowest vibrational state into a much higher vibration than ever before. This sudden awakening is especially prevalent in celebrities (who have known and lost their riches and fame), addicts or those suffering from depression (who have lost sight of their own desires and physical reality) and the physically, emotionally and sexually abused (who have lost their perceived control over themselves or their environments).
Many also feel a sudden urge or calling to awaken, which can be ignited by a book, movie, profound encounter or even a dream. Regardless of how this awakened state enters the human consciousness, it is happening at an undeniable rate for individuals. This is a profound testament that the collective consciousness is already here. It is manifesting itself through individuals, groups and events that are bringing forth a flood of universal knowledge which humans have never had access. There is no limit to the information humans wish to understand; they must simply ask the questions and find the right resources for where they are in their search for answers: whether in human, spiritual or material form.
Ancient scientific teachings such as mathematics and geometry are colliding with spirituality. Genetics, cell biology and quantum physics are producing breakthroughs that outside influences and positive and negative thought processes affect human DNA. Physical body healing is fusing with esoteric practices and holistic medicines such as aroma, nutritional and plant therapy. Chiropractors, physicians and medical practitioners are redesigning their practices and consultation rooms to offer a sense of peace to their clients through floral design and earth element decor, soothing chakra colors and binaural beats and meditation music. It is believed that humans are manifesting the global awakening of consciousness through their thoughts, actions and professions. Once a light worker is “born” there is no greater desire for them than to attain a higher level of ascension and understanding of their souls and their own creative capacity so that they may lead and serve others in doing the same.
I have done things which have required that I reinvent myself over and over again. There is nothing greater than the feeling of completely rewriting your destiny in the present moment. Though I didn’t realize it at the time, the yearning I felt for “more” knowledge, more travel, more money and more love was actually my soul’s way of serving as a tour guide. This guide was here to remind me that no matter how beautiful the scenery around me and how precious the fleeting moments of achievement and pride, all of the things I had longed for and later attained were fleeting distractions. There is nothing more gratifying than knowing that in the very moment that your thought turns to action, that your life will never be the same. It is such a magical feeling once we can accept that we are the masters of our own universe. I used to get anxious with change- wondering what sort of scenery was waiting for me on the other side. In time I realized that the only thing preventing me from feeling excited about the unknown was my own self-doubt.
My own fear of not being good enough, failure, disappointment, inconvenience and challenges. So many sleepless nights were spent debating my self-worth. If I stuck to what I knew and excelled at, I would always feel good about myself. I would never have to fail or feel disappointment. I would never have to let anyone else down. If I tried new things or dared to explore a deeper meaning in everything, it would mean the risk of success, pride and ego. To dare to dream and to step outside of my comfort zone would mean that I would have to completely release my past and not worry about the future. I would need to exist wholeheartedly in the present.
The moment I learned to reprogram myself and my thought process was the moment that everything began to flow like a steady stream into my reality. Some people call this practice the law of attraction or the power of positive thinking. I think of it is as being the architect of my own physical and emotional world, or in essence: constructing my own reality. The universe is malleable. It may take the universe a split second or even years to catch up to your thoughts or your intentions, however I assure you that if your intention is crystal clear and you focus on it with fierce and relentless passion in your mind, that your ideal self and ideal world will be delivered to you. You won’t be able to explain how or why – and quite frankly, that is the absolute beauty of mastering your own creative potential. So that you can master your own universe.
The same universal laws of the universe apply to the laws of self. All of the answers lie within yourself. The only question is- are you brave and open minded enough to explore yourself, your trauma and your desires? Because if so, your soul will mature and grow at a much faster rate, and the world will thank you for it.
I am a self-development-o-holic. I have sought a thousand different ways to find an answer to a question I hadn’t yet asked properly. I have read books, attended conferences and seminars, listened to podcasts, expanded my vocabulary and practiced self-discipline and meditation. I have tried to “fix” myself through many different external means on a thousand different levels. Throughout my journey of de-mystifying the secrets to life and fulfillment, I found myself getting even more frustrated. No matter how many colleges, trade schools, webinars, seminars, coaching sessions, workshops, masterminds, positions of authority I had held, or levels of platonic or romantic love I had explored, I still didn’t feel complete.
But why? What was I missing? Why was I so dissatisfied after each achievement? What was I doing wrong?
On first inspection, human behavior appears to be incomprehensible; an unexplainable phenomenon, unique to every being. Indeed, understanding our own behavior can be challenging enough. How could it be possible to identify a common strand between the behavior of each and every human?
I have spent the last three years linking research and discoveries of human behavior and the human condition that unite neurology, psychology, sociology, epigenetics, and metaphysics. Thus, creating a highly entertaining and exploratory adventure of ourselves, our behaviors, thoughts, desires and destiny.
“You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.” ― Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny
