Living Aligned Through the Body: Somatic Healing, Self-Trust, and Embodied Confidence with Liana Blackburn
What if the very thing you once believed was holding you back was actually preparing you for everything you’re meant to create? In this powerful episode of The Jessica Papineau Show, Jessica sits down with Kayley Hamilton—2X Emmy Award–winning former Hollywood reporter turned founder of UPLVL Agency—to explore the unseen path from self-doubt to self-trust, and from quiet observation to undeniable authority. Kayley shares her deeply personal journey from being a shy child obsessed with celebrity culture to interviewing A-list stars on red carpets—and ultimately redefining success by stepping away from Hollywood to amplify purpose-driven voices that are changing lives.
Together, Jessica and Kayley dive into what it really takes to step into visibility without ego, claim your desires without apology, and embody the future version of yourself before the world can see it. This conversation blends mindset, manifestation, media strategy, and soul-led leadership—revealing how imagination, intention, and aligned action can collapse the distance between who you are now and who you’re becoming. If you’re a woman who knows you’re meant for more—but feels the pull between staying safe and stepping fully into your power—this episode will meet you exactly where you are and invite you forward.
What You’ll Learn IN THIS EPISODE:
