GKC Grad Spotlight: Jessica Woolverton (LM1 Graduate)
Training Track: LM1
When Jessica Woolverton first said yes to the Global Kinship Center, she was standing at a crossroads in her leadership journey. “I felt lost in my next steps and disconnected from my deeper purpose,” she recalls. Though she had already done meaningful inner work, something in her knew it was time to go further, to stretch, get uncomfortable, and step into a new level of self-trust and influence. “GKC called me forward at exactly the right moment,” she says.
Through the course, Jessica experienced one of the most transformative shifts of her life: she stopped leading from the need to prove herself. Instead, she began leading from the truth of who she is. “This work helped me come home to myself in a way that felt safe, powerful, and free,” she shares. “Now I trust myself more deeply than ever.”
Her understanding of team also evolved in profound ways. Before the training, she saw team as shared responsibility of people dividing up tasks to reach a goal. Now, she defines it as shared humanity: “It’s a place where we build together through love, challenge, and truth. I no longer lead alone, and that changes everything.”
Jessica’s influence has grown far beyond words. She leads by example, through her grounded presence and the embodiment of her purpose. “I no longer lead to be liked or validated. I lead from truth, and people feel that.” That inner alignment has fueled a wave of outer success. Since training, Jessica launched The Wolf Den Mobile Wellness Lounge, an innovative concept blending wellness, recovery, and community connection on the move.
In its very first 90 days, The Wolf Den became the featured mobile spa for South Florida Wellness Week, and Jessica was invited as a spotlight speaker at the ISOTEN Fitness Challenge, presenting in partnership with NativeDriven Inc. and the Hard Rock Hotel. She is now in conversation with the Seminole Tribe and Seminole Sports Academy to create long-term collaborations rooted in wellness and holistic health.
Jessica’s achievements extend far beyond business milestones. On a personal level, she purchased her first home, built a life with the love of her life, and continues to collaborate with nonprofits including Gilda’s Club, Bleeding Blue, Thank You First Responders, Mindful Love Foundation, Pines Run Club, and Nameless Run Club all while staying deeply connected to her GKC family.
When asked how she keeps the ripple alive, Jessica’s answer is simple: she lives it. “I stay connected by living the work out loud and integrating it into everything I do. I share the tools through my business, retreats, and community partnerships, and I continue to enroll others into this work because I believe in its power.”
Her message to anyone considering the training radiates from that same conviction:
“If your spirit is even whispering yes, listen. This work will meet you exactly where you are and call you into who you were always meant to be. It’s not about fixing you—it’s about remembering you.”
For Jessica, this journey has been nothing short of life-altering. “This work cracked me open in the best way,” she reflects. “It reminded me that leadership begins within, and that healing and impact can live in the same space. I am forever grateful for the GKC community, the friendships, and the mirror it gave me to see myself more clearly.”
Jessica Woolverton continues to live fully aligned and unapologetically on purpose by embodying the very essence of Global Kinship Center’s mission to empower leaders who create a ripple of compassion, connection, and transformation wherever they go.
Thank you, Jessica, for fueling the ripple through your courage, purpose, and presence.
