Trusting Your Inner Knowing with Jess Prudhomme | 082

In this episode of Resilient A.F., Blair sits down with Jess Prudhomme, host of The Great Detour podcast, for a candid conversation about rebuilding a life from the ground up. At 35, Jess walked away from a 17-year relationship, stepped back from a long corporate career, and gave herself permission to question everything she thought she knew about success and identity. What followed was a year-long sabbatical of travel, healing, and rediscovery that reshaped how she shows up in the world. This is Jess’ story and she is RESILIENT A.F.

About the Guest:

Jess Prudhomme is the host of The Great Detour, a podcast that explores what happens when life does not unfold the way we once imagined. In her mid-thirties, Jess experienced several major life shifts, including a divorce after a 17-year relationship and later taking a career pause and stepping away from a job she had held for over a decade. Those experiences led her into a period of deep reflection where she began questioning many of the beliefs she had held about success, identity, and the path she thought she was supposed to follow. Through her work and conversations on The Great Detour, Jess explores how life’s detours can guide us back to authenticity, growth, and a more aligned way of living.
