About Jessica Buckland

My life is filled with stories, transitions, and incredible people. I’m a child of God, wife to Jonathan, and proud mom to two energetic, intelligent, and joy-filled young men, Reese and Gentry.

I have a passion for metaphorical bridge building—helping others cross into their destiny. I love knowledge, personal and professional growth, and am an architect of change leadership, curator of content, coach, and consultant who believes deeply in the power of transformation.

As John Lasseter said, “Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.” That belief is the heartbeat of everything I do: speaking, coaching, writing, consulting, and leading. We all have the ability to constantly learn and need to share our experience and learning with others.

We were created on purpose for purpose, so let’s discover and live that purpose out! I believe through research and sharing, we can find the strength and courage to pursue and declare hope. We need to recognize and receive all that life has to offer, and relationships and stories often open our eyes for this.

In my professional life, I am a SHRM-CP certified Human Capital and Business Operations Leader passionate about aligning people strategies for business optimization. I’ve led initiatives across corporate, nonprofit, higher education, and faith-based organizations—always with a people-first, results-driven approach. Whether building culture, driving engagement, or integrating operational change, I help individuals and organizations flourish from the inside out.

With expertise spanning talent management, workforce planning, recruitment, onboarding, leadership development, training, compliance, policy design, and strategic alignment, I’ve helped companies transform their cultures and improve performance in measurable ways.

I help indiviuduals get unstuck and pointed towards directions they may not have ever even imagined previously both personally and professionally.

My DISC profile (iD), Predictive Index (Captain), and CliftonStrengths (Learner | Woo | Arranger | Includer | Futuristic) reflect the energy and adaptability I bring to every role.

I have said a few things about mind and spirit, but our body can have fullness of life too!

At the age of 30, I started running. I couldn’t run a mile before 2010—and now I have 10 full marathons, nearly 20 half marathons, and countless daily miles (and injuries) under my belt.

I’m a weight loss and maintenance success story, having shed over 60 pounds in 2010 and kept them off ever since.

I semi-retired my full marathons in 2017 when I ran #10, but who knows? I do know my body likes variety and so does my brain.

I enjoy hiking, running, cycling, the elliptical, the stair master, and walking. I like to move a lot. I prioritize adventure.
So, that’s how I am standing here as a communicator, encourager, and coach—passionate about helping people live, laugh, love, and lead at the intersection of mind, body, and spirit.

I believe personal growth is professional growth. That when people thrive, organizations do too.

That belief is what fuels Healthfull Living—my newly resurrected blog and my mission to help you create a life you love.
