    My Daily Schedule as a Physical Therapist, Business Owner and Mom

    Do you ever wonder what a day in the life looks like for those you follow online? Today Jessica pulls back the curtain to tell you exactly what her daily schedule includes! You'll learn how she prioritizes the categories of her daily to do list, whether she gets up early for a specific morning routine, the areas she wishes she could put more attention towards and how she plans her workouts.
