I write books, podcast, and create resources to help you cultivate a lifestyle that prioritizes your well-being as you chase your dreams.
Well hey, I'm J!
I'm an ambitious go-getter with big dreams and a need to achieve... and I had to learn the hard way what success really is (and what it is not). In my early 20's, I found myself newly married, with a blossoming business, big career opportunities, and a world full of possibilities... all of which I decided to go for.
Our 20's and 30's are building and establishing years. We're building relationships, families, households, and careers... many at the same time. Before we know it, we end up hustling and overworking ourselves just trying to do it all. At least, that's what happened to me.
Multiple messy, painful experiences finally forced me to slow down, revisit why I started my business in the first place, and simultaneously taught me what it takes to show up well when you have no motivation to do anything at all.
It shifted my perspective on what matters most, set me on a journey to a healthier, more intentional way of living, and reminded me that success is not about achieving a goal or climbing a mountain in a day but instead, about stewardship and small steps that add up day after day.
So around here, I share tips, tools, and resources to help you do the same: to start living the lifestyle you've been craving.

It ALL STARTED WITH AN ETSY STORE CALLED 'SOULSCRIPTS.' I'D RECRUIT ROOMMATES TO HELP ME PACKAGE AND SHIP ITEMS, AND IN BETWEEN CLASSES I'D MAKE POST OFFICE RUNS OR RESPOND TO CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAILS...
I started small. I had a lot of fun with it. And that's my encouragement to you as you pursue what you're made to do: Start small and have a little fun. Don't take yourself too seriously, k?

About 6 months after opening that little etsy shop, I got my own website with a blog. Between you & me, the "blog" started as my facebook captions copy & pasted onto a post... Sophisticated, I know
The blog was rudimentary at first but as I wrote and as my brand grew, I realized I loved writing & creating content more than I liked packing and shipping products...

about 3 years after starting a blog, I began to notice readers and social media followers were requesting that i started a podcast. It took me awhile to actually do it. I'd ask myself, "Will people even listen?"
In October 2018, I finally went for it & launched a show. It hit #2 across all categories on the Top Charts & amassed 1 Million+ downloads in the first 12 weeks. The rest is history.

About a year after having my first round of book proposals rejected by every publishing house back in 2016, I Got a "YES!" and signed a book contract with penguin random house. I rewrote the dang thing four times - fOuR!!
After lots of hard work, I released Own Your Everyday into the world. It became a National Bestseller and a couple years later, I released my second bestseller, Embrace Your Almost!
