What started as curiosity became a career, a community, and a way to help more women feel seen, supported and less intimidated in cycling.

In this episode, we talk about Jessica’s move from government work into mountain biking, building women’s cycling spaces, creating honest content, learning in public, and discovering Zwift through postpartum recovery. We also dive into the nerves of entering her first Zwift race, the pressure women creators can face around credibility, appearance and visibility, and why there is still so much opportunity for more women to tell their stories in virtual cycling.

Jessica’s message is simple: stop waiting until you feel ready. Start badly, learn openly, laugh at the mistakes, and try the thing anyway.
