Jessica On A Journey: Decide To Live!

Pavar’s life is proof we are limitless when we decide to live.

We're in such a confusing and uncertain time as the coronavirus pandemic impacts all of us in some way. I'm doing my best to find peace in the middle of this storm, and I hope this will help you embrace joy and find hope, too.

Therapy is normal, needed and it changed the course my life. It took an abrupt encounter with anxiety and a panic attack while I was live on the air -- a moment I thought would end my career in television -- for me to embrace the healing and peace that comes with counseling. Therapy revealed anxiety was the source of my past toxic relationship with food. That revelation led me to healthier coping mechanisms to overcome anxiety, resulting in my 100-pound weight loss journey. Join me on this episode of Decide to Live® as my therapist, Dr. Robin Nottingham, shares life-changing advice on how to thrive in the face of anxiety, addiction and depression.

Now, each month we’re inviting others who have overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges to share what helped them decide to live along their own journeys, too! The first episode features fellow morning news anchor, postpartum depression survivor – and my best friend – Ariane Aramburo to share her journey. Get the tissues ready! We shot this episode almost an ENTIRE YEAR AGO! We invited an intimate group of her friends and supporters to join us when she visited Virginia for her daughter’s third birthday in 2018. We prayed about the best time to share it with all of you. Now, a

Did you know there are traces of gold in your blood stream? There is victory in your veins! You were created to win. Reconnect to the champion within on this episode of Decide to Live with Jessica Larché.

Rejection is a blessing. It's God's way of directing us to the best path for our lives. Rejection saved my life and led me to my husband. Join me on the journey! I hope this message helps someone decide to live!

Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach is one of my favorite places on Earth. A 60-foot-high mountain made from an old trash dump is a treasure to me. That big, beautiful mountain, surrounded by lakes, playgrounds, skate parks and a winding walking trail, is a source of joy for people far and wide. All at a place built on a pile of trash… Items that were discarded, devalued, and done away with, were used as the foundation for a place that now inspires magical moments. And that’s just it... Mount Trashmore reminds me that we can take the piles of pain, regret and sorrow in your past… The ugly stuff we’d rather throw away… and use it all as the foundation for something beautiful…inspiring… magical. Our trash can become treasure when we change our perspective.

Our failures are just lessons in disguise if we allow them to guide and teach us. In this episode of the Decide to Live Podcast, I'm sharing how the valleys of a wellness journey are just as valuable as the peaks. Always remember, you were created to be a champion, so let every experience work in your favor! #decidetolive

At my heaviest weight – nearly 270 pounds – it literally pained me to workout. The weight created so much pressure on my back, I found myself crying during exercise. The weeping season seemed like it would last forever. It didn’t. And it won't for you either if you decide to hold on! Press play and get motivated in this episode of "Decide to Live."

You know that saying, “There’s no crying in baseball”? I don’t know if they ever tried to lose 100 pounds and keep it off (Lord have mercy!). In this episode of the Decide to Live Podcast, we're keeping it real when it comes to tears and they're really a sign of strength.

I opened up to a room full of strangers about an old love affair. In this episode of the Decide to Live Podcast, I'm sharing the lesson that saved my life with all of you from the LIVE Story Slammers event.

The steps that move you forward, and the steps that slip into quicksand, have the same value. Stumbles, falls and failures are not setbacks. They are steps towards success if you can be patient enough to learn and lean forward. Join me on this episode of the Decide to Live Podcast as we fail our way to success!

"And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance." The lyrics from that Lee Ann Womack song reminded me of a very important lesson I learned along this weight loss journey. No regrets from my past, but a lesson learned nonetheless. I hope this helps someone, too!
