Jessica Vosk is a Broadway powerhouse, beloved for her unforgettable roles as Elphaba in Wicked, Jenna in Waitress, and now starring in the critically acclaimed Hell’s Kitchen. But before gracing center stage, Jessica’s path took a very different turn — one that led her to a high-powered career on Wall Street. In this episode, Jessica shares the remarkable story of how she went from crunching numbers in finance to chasing her long-held dream of performing on Broadway. Her pivot wasn’t instant — it took years of persistence, odd jobs, missed opportunities, and unshakable belief. And for the first time publicly, Jessica opens up about one of the most difficult chapters in her life: her struggle with alcohol and the life-changing decision to go to rehab.
