Jessica shares her traumatic story of being kidnapped by Somali pirates, how her intuition gave her a premonition, and how she has stepped into her purpose. Jessica is an expert in impossible circumstances. What on the outside appears to be limited options and impossible circumstances can be a chance for opportunity and making meaning with the right mindset.


On October 25, 2011, while on a routine field mission in Somalia, working as

the Education Advisor for her non-governmental organization, Jessica was

abducted at gunpoint and held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates for 93

days. Forced to live outdoors in deplorable conditions, starved, and terrorized

by more than two dozen gangsters, Jessica’s health steadily deteriorated

until, by order of President Obama, she was rescued by the elite SEAL Team

VI on January 25, 2012.


Jessica’s ordeal is detailed in her New York Times bestselling book,

“Impossible Odds: The Kidnapping of Jessica Buchanan and Her Dramatic

Rescue by SEAL Team Six.”


Jessica is now a highly sought-after inspirational speaker, TEDx Speaker,

named one of the ‘150 Women Who Will Shake the World’ by Newsweek. Her

story was the most highly viewed 60 Minutes episode to air, to date. Jessica

is also the founder of Soul Speak Press, a non-traditional publishing company

for women who have been through something and now they know something.

Her second book is a bestselling anthology titled “Deserts to Mountaintops:

Our Collective Journey to (re)Claiming Our Voice.”


Jessica also works as a family liaison volunteer for the non-profit

organization, Hostage US, and continues to serve as a dedicated

Ambassador for the Navy SEAL Foundation. She is married to a native

Swede, has two children, and now resides in the DC Metro area.
