About

Hi. I'm Jessica. The group chat is not my fault.

I'm Jessica, a mother of five who finally learned to write the sentences I couldn't say out loud.

I live in Mississippi with five kids, two sets of twins, and a group chat that has never once reached a decision.

Just Jessica started as a notebook on my kitchen counter, a few honest sentences between bedtimes and breakfasts. It was the only place I could say the true thing.

Now I send one letter every Sunday on Substack to women who are figuring it out too, usually with a laundry basket within reach.
