In this episode of 'Rebuilding the Beast', Festus Ezeli sits down with Jessica Ping-Wild, a remarkable woman who has faced her share of challenges and come out stronger.

Jessica opens up about her childhood, the pain of not finding a true friend until middle school, and the harsh reality that the world often overlooks the needs of people with disabilities. She talks candidly about hitting rock bottom during her college years at Notre Dame and the pivotal decision to seek therapy.

The conversation dives into various aspects of Jessica's life, from the pressures of the modeling and acting industries to the importance of public speaking in her advocacy work. She shares how she overcame self-doubt and negative self-talk, emphasizing the significance of inclusivity and embracing differences.
Jessica's journey is a testament to resilience and the power of using one's voice to effect change.
