In this empowering episode, Coco Plank sits down with motivational speaker and self-defense expert Jennifer Cassetta for a conversation about personal growth, manifestation, and stepping fully into one's purpose. Jennifer shares her journey to becoming a motivational speaker and introduces her framework, The Art of Badassery—a philosophy rooted in resilience, self-trust, and embodied confidence.
