How to turn your greatest insecurities into inspiration with Jessica Torres.

Have you ever wondered how to turn your greatest insecurities into inspiration?

This week  I speak with Jessica Torres who is a fashion and beauty influencer who promotes body positivity.

I met Jessica during my incredible week with Vaera Journeys, a retreat that gathers entrepreneurial women in the most beautiful locations.

Vaera journeys gave us the opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences, collaborate, and be surrounded by the most inspiring women who are doing amazing things!

I am so excited to interview Jessica on this retreat. Being a plus-sized woman, Jessica has been battling with body insecurities most of her life. It was a long road to self acceptance and body positivity, but she finally realized that she did not have to lose weight in order to love her body.

This acceptance led Jessica to start posting full-body images of herself on social media and share her journey which has led her to become a fashion and beauty influencer.

Today, Jessica works with major brands, promotes body positivity, and creates incredibly funny videos on social media.
