Who Am I?

Get to know me, my experiences, and how we will work together in your personal growth journey!

My name is Jessica Ashley Steele, M.Sc., and I am a Personal Development & Mindset Coach! It is my mission to help clients take radical emotional responsibility & reclaim their voice. I specialize in helping empaths develop boundaries, deepen their sense of self-respect, and become emotionally responsible by regaining control of their mindset, attitudes, and emotional reactions. I teach & publicly speak about the importance of letting go of a "victim mindset", using deep emotional intelligence and re-programing negative habits / patterns in order to shift from helplessness to manifesting abundance and joy.

After I began doing the "inner work" on myself over a decade ago, I progressively uncovered my patterns of codependency, people-pleasing, and seeking validation / approval from external sources. These unhealthy tendencies directed all my energy outward, making me dependent on other people and circumstances in order to feel happy, loved, worthy, and successful. Feeling like my own cup was empty, I would often spiral into feelings of helplessness, victimhood, and depression that felt like it had no end. There were many moments I felt deeply sorry for myself and I was angry at the world for "letting" things happen to me, which motivated me to obsessively study success, happiness, and purpose until I realigned with mine.

This has brought me to my current understanding of life, emotional responsibility, and empowerment as I practice it today. My inner-transformation is the reason I teach my clients to focus on directing their energy inward, cultivating joy and love within themselves instead of seeking it externally. I employ mindfulness, the science of habit formation, emotional intelligence training, reprogramming limiting beliefs, adult attachment theory, IFS, EFT, NLP, LOA, and additional techniques to help my clients step into radical emotional responsibility and become the narrator of their own story.

Are you ready to embark on this self-love and empowerment journey with me?

Experience

As a young adult, I was incredibly interested in understanding the patterns and underlying messages behind my feelings of loneliness, failure, and sadness throughout my life. I began mindfulness training, meditation, and emotional healing in 2012, and progressed into university with an interest in further studying these subjects. I gave my first public speech on the TEDx stage in 2014, and since that moment, I dedicated my life to empowering others to expand their self-esteem, self-respect, and emotional intelligence.

Receiving my Master's of Science degree in Education & Leadership from the University of Florida, I focused my research on emotional intelligence (EQ) and positive psychology to help make sense of many painful life experiences I'd had in the past. In 2020, I founded Compass[ion] Coaching after almost a decade of self-study and data collection based on my own self-love and growth experiences, and I have continued deepening my training and healing work from 2020 to the present.

All of the practices I pass on to my clients are methods I have personally experimented with and studied, having lived the results of my teachings. My self-growth journey continues on a daily basis, and I routinely update my content and coaching practices based on newly acquired knowledge.

Mission

My life's mission is to educate, coach, and inspire others to take radical emotional responsibility for themselves so they can feel fully empowered to manifest joy and abundance. I work to see my clients embrace a growth mindset & reclaim their voice to tell their own story in spite of painful events or circumstances. I advocate for my clients to develop boundaries, deepen their sense of self-respect, and become emotionally responsible by regaining control of their mindset, attitudes, and emotional reactions - instead of reacting automatically based on their subconscious patterns and trauma responses.

I guarantee that my clients will come out of our coaching sessions and online programs feeling more confident in their identity, empowered in their sense of self-love and self-respect, and motivated to take radical emotional responsibility by becoming the narrator of their own life, telling their story in an empowering and loving way by letting go of victimhood and stepping into courage.
