Hi, I’m Jessica, and I wanted to re-introduce myself on here once again. I’ve been absent for a while as I make some big shifts & changes not only in life but in business & brand. And, I have gained a few new followers along the way.

I started doing web design almost five years ago, back when I was leaving a toxic relationship and needed to find my way. I had quit my job, become financially dependent on him, & completely isolated in the process of being *groomed* by his toxic behaviors.

I left, did a lot of internal work, shed a lot of MY toxic behaviors, & focused on nurturing this business baby I sort of *fell in to*.

Growing up, my role models—while not bad—didn’t necessarily give me the most functional set of tools to navigate through life. Don’t get me wrong, I love & appreciate them all. But, I was so underprepared for the turmoil that life can be. It took a lot for me to see my gaps in knowledge so that I could seek out more valuable ways to correct my missteps.

Building a business is tough, building a business and healing from emotional, mental, & physical trauma is even tougher.

The last five years have been full of personal and spiritual growth, tremendous healing, & an abundance of education—that I didn’t even know I needed.

The first few years I was battling my body & mind shutting down. I struggled with depression while simultaneously trying to pull myself out of that depression. I worked with clients who treated me like garbage, took advantage of my kindness, & paid me far less than I was worth.

Despite trudging through the mud, I learned a lot of valuable life lessons, like boundaries, time management, confidence in my intuition, & most of all how to value myself.

I have had moments of absolute delight & of incredible frustration. I’ve learned a lot, grown a lot, & transformed into this beautiful person I am today.

Today, I am about to welcome my first (human) baby into the world and May 2022 can’t come soon enough. I started all of this knowing I wanted to be a work-from-home-mom when the time is right. And, finally the time is right. I have an incredible and supportive partner, stability, and the mental peace I had been searching for.

Re-introducing myself here, 👋🏻 I’m Jessica, I started my business somewhere around four years ago after leaving a really toxic relationship and needing to get my independence back.

When I started this thing, I knew I wanted to be a work-from-home-mom one day and that running/owning a business wouldn’t happen over night. So, I set my sights and put in the work—my first year in business I replaced my annual income from my old 9-5, landing my five figures right off the bat.

But, then, impostor syndrome set in. I was working the hustle life and I hated it. I wondered if I could sustain this when it came time for family. I wasn’t really living life, but living to work. The life I was trying to escape was following me into this new opportunity I’d created for myself—so what had I really created? Was it even worth all the time I was spending investing into doing something that felt like a repeat of my past?

On top of it, I was healing from a traumatic past that had left me anxiety ridden, overwhelmed, and boundary-less. I was dealing with newly understood ADHD like symptoms (like, executive function issues, brain fog, and hyperfocus in all the wrong places).

I started looking at coaching programs, teachers, and thought leaders, watching how they ran their operations, studying their content, and ultimately teaching myself the exact systems and processes I needed to design a profitable business.

👉🏻 I learned to manage my time
👉🏻 established clear boundaries not just in work/life but with clients, personal relationships, and even ideas
👉🏻 I cut out energy draining people, tasks, and ideas
👉🏻 discovered my WHY and rekindled my motivation
👉🏻 designed processes for workflows and projects
👉🏻 built automated systems to free up time, energy, and resources
👉🏻 learned to tell my story clearly and directly so my audience could relate.

And, now, here I am four years later, about to start a family with a thriving business, repeat clients, and enough time to do “all the things”. I’m less stressed, more focused, and have a more optimal work/life balance. And, the best part? I get to help other aspiring business owners and work-from-home-moms-to-be do the same.
