JOB TITLE: Life Coach & Founder, The Kindness Catalog

Jessica Elom Ogbodo is a certified life coach, business mentor, and founder of The Kindness Catalog. She helps high-achieving professionals who are tired of just “pushing through” to finally reconnect with themselves and design a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on paper.

After nearly a decade in corporate leadership, Jessica experienced the silent cost of success - burnout, pressure, emotional disconnection, and made it her mission to change that story for others. Now, she uses a unique blend of coaching, neuroscience, and practical strategy to help people move from autopilot to alignment, from stress to self-leadership.

Whether you're navigating career crossroads, emotional burnout, or simply craving a life with more clarity, confidence, and meaning, Jessica will help you get there. Because you deserve more than just survival. You deserve a life you actually love.

Today Jessica shares with us her biggest life learnings to-date:

#LIFELESSON – 1 - “Success at the cost of your well-being isn’t success at all.”

For years, I chased milestones. Titles, targets, to-do lists - I was ticking every box society handed me. From the outside, I was thriving. But internally, I was eroding. What looked like ambition was often just overcompensation for burnout and people-pleasing. It took a full-body health collapse and emotional burnout for me to finally ask: Is this the life I want to keep building?That moment changed everything. I realized I had been outsourcing my worth to performance. That kind of success felt hollow. Now, I help others redefine success, not as constant achievement, but as living in alignment with your values, boundaries, and purpose. You don’t have to lose yourself to win in life. That’s not success, that’s survival.

#LIFELESSON – 2 - “If you don’t know who you are, the world will decide for you.”

So many people live by default, driven by old stories, external expectations, and invisible fears. That was me too. I wore masks of strength, positivity, and control. But underneath, I was exhausted, unsure, and overextending in every area of life. The turning point came when I slowed down enough to ask deeper questions: Who am I without the pressure? What do I want if no one else had a say?Learning to listen to your own voice isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary. Self-awareness is the foundation of all change. It’s the moment you stop performing for the world and start designing a life that fits who you truly are. Today, my work is rooted in helping others make that shift. Because when you know who you are, decisions become clearer, boundaries become easier, and life becomes more meaningful.

 #LIFELESSON – 3 - “Kindness isn’t soft - it’s revolutionary.”

We often think of kindness as something we give to others. But the real work begins with how we treat ourselves. For a long time, I was harsh with myself, pushing harder, setting impossible standards, and criticizing every misstep. I thought that’s what it took to grow. But I’ve since learned that self-kindness is one of the most powerful tools for transformation. It creates the safety to heal, the courage to try again, and the strength to lead without losing your humanity.Through The Kindness Catalog, I teach that kindness isn’t weakness - it’s wisdom. It’s choosing to slow down in a world that glorifies speed. It’s leading with empathy in places that reward performance. And it’s becoming someone who doesn’t just succeed, but thrives, with heart. In a world that’s constantly demanding more, kindness is the quiet rebellion that brings us back to what matters most.
