Finding Peace Beyond Success, Sobriety & Heartbreak | Episode 79 with Jessica Eshan

Jessica Eshan joins Sunday Afternoon Smokes for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, sobriety, entrepreneurship, faith, forgiveness, and what it really means to build a meaningful life. Jessica shares her journey from the cigar blogging community into executive leadership in human resources, real estate, and AI-driven manufacturing technology before opening up about alcoholism, recovery, childhood trauma, divorce, reconciliation with her family, and finding lasting peace through sobriety and personal growth. Along the way, Chris and Jessica discuss the emotional impact of divorce on parents and children, repairing broken relationships, perfectionism, music, gratitude, entrepreneurship, real estate, AI, and the search for purpose beyond career success. What begins as a conversation about cigars and business gradually becomes an honest discussion about healing, forgiveness, faith, and discovering that our worth isn't found in achievement, but in who we become. If you've ever wrestled with identity, loss, addiction, rebuilding relationships, or finding hope after life's hardest seasons, this conversation is for you.
