I will say this from personal experience, you win when you take ownership for your flaws and weaknesses. I have no shame in saying this because it's the truth. Growing up, I was associated with people who rarely took ownership for their flaws and weaknesses. As a young child, I never understood why and it [...]
I wrote this for myself and I wrote this for you who needs to slow down. I wrote this for you who feels as though you are moving too fast and life is so fast paced you barely have a moment to truly enjoy it. I wrote this for you Jess because you are moving [...]
"Of course she does. I expect nothing less than her having it all together." GUT. PUNCH. You see, I've been a fraud. I have clearly painted this fictitious picture that I have it all together and have camouflaged my ability to be tidy for being clean and that is the truth. I'm about to take [...]
I am a big believer in writing things down. There is a certain permanence to writing down things, don't you think? I feel like it makes our ideas more official and actually brings it to life outside of our head. I love the feeling of grabbing a notebook or journal and writing down things I [...]
Disclaimer: I am not a one job gal! I must start off by saying this becuase I am constantly asked, "Jessica, what do you do?" Well, I do many things and that is not to brag, trust me! I have my hands in many different pots and at times it is REALLY hard to juggle [...]

Today, I was listening to a podcast while I walked and I heard this phrase, “What do you hear when you pray” and it stopped me dead in my tracks! Literally! There was an elderly man walking behind me who I see all the time and he said, “Young lady, are you okay?” I said, [...]
Can you believe that I just started believing this? No guys, I'm serious. For a long time, I put so much emphasis on what others thought of me, so much so, I lost sight of what I thought of me. I came in hot with it only being your third sentence in, didn't I? Stay [...]
Girl, your independence is your super power! You know when you see the words “independent” and “woman” you automatically hear Kelly Clarkson playing in your head (or maybe that’s just me)? I am laying in bed at 11:21 unable to unplug my brain because my creativity is at its height around midnight(ish). This works out [...]
Little girl, I hope your mom, aunt, sister, cousin or grandmother reads this to you.

Growing up probably feels like [...]
