Jessi Hartnett is a wife, mother, and a coach for those seeking to move past smoking. After 15 years of living with addiction, Jessi discovered that lasting freedom wasn't found in willpower. It was found in the heart.
Today, she uses her journey as a source of strength to help others navigate their own path to peace. Her approach, rooted in radical transformation and heart-led healing, moves beyond the surface-level habit to address the emotional and spiritual roots of the struggle. Jessi helps her clients access the gifts of their own intuition, compassion, and creativity to find a unique way out of the cycle of smoking
She is the author of Honor Your Heart, a soulful guide to quitting smoking, and the host of the You Can Quit Smoking podcast. When she isn’t coaching or recording, you can find her cooking for her family or enjoying time outdoors.
Jessi Hartnett Vroom Vroom Veer Stories
Jeff welcomes Jessi Hartnett, quit-smoking coach, founder of You Can Quit Smoking, and author of Honor Your Heart. Jessi smoked for fifteen years before quitting — along with alcohol and weed — and now helps others do the same.
Jessi shares her journey from a small-town Illinois upbringing through a career in land surveying (often the only woman in the room), burnout, and years of using substances to cope with stress and anxiety. A diagnosis of gum disease and gum graft surgery became her turning point.
Rather than relying on willpower, Jessi's approach centers on curiosity, self-compassion, and inner work — understanding why you reach for a cigarette, untangling negative self-talk, and building new ways to meet emotional needs. She and Jeff also swap practical coping strategies: kettlebell swings, soaking baths, slowing down with daily practices.
Jessi reframes quitting not as deprivation but as a doorway to a new season of life — one that, for her, included becoming a mother and finding purpose-driven work.
