About Jessica

Hi, I’m Jessica Tudos!

As a multi-passionate, A-type go-getter with ADHD, I know how soul-crushing it is to feel overwhelmed, distracted, and inefficient. High expectations can become debilitating.

In order to reach our goals, we must prioritize our time, optimize our spaces, and cultivate our energy as they are our most valuable assets.

Drawing from my unique skillset and mindset as an Olympian turned Edupreneur, Life Design Coach, Speaker, and Author, I can help you take purposeful action on what matters most TO YOU so you can thrive.

Using my creative problem-solving skills, personal development know-how, and artful planning approach, I help you do more of your best work so you feel fulfilled.

Whether you’re creating programs, decluttering your life, changing careers, or starting your “big thing”, let’s work together to get you where you want - and deserve - to be.

A Portfolioist In Action - My Current Projects

Guiding Future Innovators and Marketers

After a “sabbatical” (aka no work due to huge drop in int’l enrolment), I’m back at Seneca Polytechnic teaching Marketing Professionalism and Career Preparation.

I co-created this curriculum 6 years ago so it’s nice to be teaching it again. The goal is to help students uncover and navigate possibilities in a field affected by A.I., data-driven pressures, and need to focus on human skills development.

The BEST feeling is when students start speaking up, discovering their potential, and show real excitement about their future - this part never gets old!

Ringing in Resin Creativity

This fall, I’ve joined the Tuesday Reset Club, a weekly creativity meetup at the amazing Miraki Life Workspace, a local co-working space for dreamers and doers to create DIY-style.

With its welcoming space and vibe, Miraki is the perfect place to explore making resined collage rings. Having never worked with resign before (but loving it for ages), it’s back to school and time to learn!

In this picture, I’m ringing the “Duck-laration of Success” bell here after completing my first collaged resign ring.

Newfound Fun + Fitness in Gravity Class

Have I told you about gravity classes? They are revolutionary! The machine is a multi-angle resistance trainer that uses your body weight against gravity for a full-body workout.

After 45 minutes at my local YMCA, my entire body feels alive..with no pain. For a former gymnast with very sensitive joints, this workout is perfect!

I do reward myself with a steam and sauna visit after (rewards are so motivating!

I do envision teaching this class one day - but not yet. Prioritizing is key - and never easy for us multi-passionate Portfolioists!
