JESSIE MCGARRY SAYS
"It's easy to give so freely before you can start getting burnt out.
I have learnt you have to replenish yourself. You have to be nourished financially, in order to keep showing up to your fullest potential. It's a disservice to you. If you are not getting paid your worth, because it means your passion will dip, which means you're not showing up to the best of your ability, which means your clients are not getting the best of you."

JESSIE MCGARRY SAYS
"I wanted to feel my baby come out of my body. I just wanted to feel that. I don't know if it's a biological thing, a primal thing. It was what I wanted personally for me. There was this little tiny whisper of doubt, like what if you can't and I really counteracted that by focusing and imagining the moment where I say I did it. When it actually happened, I was like, Holy shit. I did, I did it. I did do it."
