About Jessica Adams
Business Mentor & Strategist for smart, ambitious female founders and leaders who want to create more impact and achieve their big vision without burnout.
My Story
Have you ever wondered why it can feel so hard to get the balance? And why so many people seem to be burning out, including you?
Ever since I was a journalist in my 20s, I’ve asked myself this question. I used to look at the women ahead of me, in the office all hours, and wonder if there was a different way. So I decided to experiment with making unconventional choices, creating success on my terms.
I left London, moved to Bristol, UK, and went freelance. I chose the hours I wanted to work, and the clients I wanted to work with. Tripling my income in the process, and learning all about setting clear boundaries and pricing my services with confidence.
After the birth of my first son, I experienced how powerful it was to be in community with women, with a shared sense of purpose. I launched my second business and went onto support over 1,000 women in my local area to have more empowered experiences of pregnancy, birth and motherhood while home-making and raising a young family.
Later, I expanded my expertise to include in integrative women’s health, female behaviour change and leadership facilitation. I began coaching women struggling with anxiety, quickly realising that my strengths lay in helping them make their businesses work for them.
My clients reignited their creativity, their businesses blossomed, they became more confident leaders, were more empowered in their relationships, and felt more resilient than ever – physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially!
And so my third business was born. A boutique practice as a private 121 Business Mentor and Strategist helping female founders and leaders to increase their impact and income so they can achieve their big vision without burnout. Flourishing and thriving, while making a positive much-needed difference in the world!
With love, Jessica

Getting the balance
From feeling constantly stressed, to working more than full-time to pivoting, working 3 days a week with space for self-care, family, volunteering and being outdoors.
Finding Direction
From lacking direction and confidence after taking a break from a senior leadership role while raising young children to getting clarity on a new direction and business that works for them and their family.
Starting a business
From feeling like they don't know who they are if they aren't all things to all people, to transitioning out of a corporate leadership role and launching a new creative business.
£60K in new business
From being burnt out and freelance to launching their own agency with a new team, replacing a £60K annual corporate salary in less than 6 months and working less than 4 days / week.
£15K months
From struggling to reach their next level of success after 3 years in business to breaking £15K months, no longer working evenings or weekends, and getting in the best shape of their life.
Highest ever quarters
From overwhelmed, stressed and anxious and working all hours, to highest ever quarters in a 7-figure business in 4 days a week, while writing a book and launching a new business venture.
If you can see the path, it's not your path
If you're struggling with clarity and direction, allowing yourself to stay in this place may lead to burnout. You don't need to wait until you need help to bring powerful support on board. You can actively want support because you value what you bring to the world, and believe in the positive, wide-reaching impact of your work. Working together will enable you to swiftly and easily move from idea to action without overwhelm so you can make your vision a reality. I will help you optimise your strategy, leadership and wellbeing to ensure your life and business work as a whole. With the flexibility and balance you want as you move towards £10K to £25K months.
Catherine, Therapist & Counsellor
Working with you exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for some ideas, what I got felt like an exhaustive life overhaul, which opened up a world of new possibilities to explore. The amount of work that’s goes into what you do and the high quality is incredible! I feel more in control, knowledgeable, confident and calm. I'm excited and positive about what is to come. I feel reassured I have options when things get tricky. I'm spending more time doing what I love and saying No to things that don't work for me. I am emotionally much more balanced. Massive gratitude Jess, your work is amazing and inspired.
Belinda, Psychotherapist
I felt stuck, lacking in confidence and had plans for my career but wasn’t putting them into action. I now have confidence and clarity about my profession and direction and have been able to make the changes in my personal life that have enabled me to move forward. Our coaching cracked everything open, which is both exciting and terrifying. And also really necessary for me to fulfil my life’s mission and purpose. My business has blossomed.

Hana, Creative Director, Artist & Mindfulness Teacher
With an abundance of knowledge and expertise, Jess compassionately led me towards finding clarity in my direction, illuminating my inner North Star. What Jess provided was not just guidance, but a gentle journey back to a profound sense of trust in my own intuition and wisdom. Our work together was nothing short of a soul-nourishing, deeply emotional, and a profoundly impactful experience that extended far beyond the boundaries of my business, and into the entirety of my life.
Penny, Veterinary Researcher & Consultant
I was struggling with everything and felt like I was drowning in my own life. After ignoring my body and mind for so long, I can now listen to and understand myself. I’m confident and accepting of who I am and trust my intuition. Working with you side by side gave me the courage to face things I hadn't faced before. I knew I wasn't alone. I was able to take stock of my work and life and see how things could be done differently and better. It was emotional, challenging, but I am so glad I did it. It feels right.

Emily, Movement Practitioner & Coach
Thank you for today. That thing that happened right at the end of our session and you could see exactly what was going on for me. It was so helpful for me to see a familiar pattern playing out in relationship with you, who I completely trust and who I love. I love the pace you go at, and the way you work, and have complete respect for it. It made it really really clear and I am more aware of how I relate to myself and how I can change that going forward.
Jenny, Forest School Owner & Artist
I was feeling angry, sad, very, very tired and wanted to be somewhere else. I had poor sleep and low mood. Now, I have lots of strategies to manage anxiety and stress. It was so valuable having a trusted ally who could reflect back and remind me of what I was working on. Overall, the process has been life changing. I have read back my journal from the beginning. I feel like a different person. I feel empowered and knowledgeable. Instead of feeling like I was flailing in the dark, I now know what to do and where I'm headed. Thank you. I feel like you helped me get my life back. I feel able to ride the challenges, my resilience is improving all the time and life feels fun again. There are still plenty of challenges but they aren't derailing me like they used to. I feel positive about my life and work, it’s exciting.
Kat Thackray, Design Thinker & Culture Consultiant
Right from the first conversation, Jess helped me put some words to the things I'd been dreaming of, and to allow myself to believe that they might be possible for me. Jess has given me so many things I wasn't able to provide for myself at that time, and held them for me while I got comfortable with them: the belief that I could, actually, run a business, even one that I literally just made up. The emotional support I needed to keep going, to face the gremlins, to work through the imposter syndrome and the panic and to carry on anyway. The practical things I needed to know to actually sell things to people, and the encouragement I needed to make myself do it.
Jess has shown me that there's another way to be a founder that doesn't match the stereotype of the entrepreneur, and has helped me create an identity and a way of working that is sustainable for me, and aligned with my purpose and vision for the world. In under six months I've gone from feeling stuck and lost to having a vision, a business and a whole bunch of goals, as well as the confidence and the tools to achieve them. I couldn't have imagined this for myself when we started working together, and I'm so glad I took the leap of faith.
NH, Urban Planner & Designer
I was feeling isolated and lonely, struggling to feel positive about many things. Through working with Jess, I now value myself and my time more. I have become quite mindful and feel like I am becoming wiser as a result of my experience and age. I’m much more content in myself and I am happier in my relationships both professional and personal. I have started to work a four day week, where previously I worked full time. This is releasing my time to peruse other ambitions and interests and I feel is reducing the amount of stress I feel in my life. I have found that relinquishing control and delegating to my team has allowed me to work at a higher level and generate a higher quality outcome. Consequently in my personal relationships it has enabled me to be less controlling and have more honest conversations with my son and husband.
