Jess Ekstrom

Jess Ekstrom helps women tell and sell their stories. As the bestselling author of Chasing the Bright Side, and co- founder of personal development platform, Prompted, Jess has been featured in major media outlets such as the Today Show, Good Morning America, The View, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, Business Insider, Huffington Post and Forbes.

After starting and growing her multi-million dollar company, Headbands of Hope, in her dorm room, her speaking and writing career took off. But Jess realized that her success wasn’t about how far she can reach—but how far she can help other women reach. Today, through her writing, Prompted personal development platform and her uber popular Mic Drop Workshop®, she helps women uncover the value in their story so they can make a living and a difference at the same time. She, her husband and her 70lb fur baby reside in Raleigh, NC.
