Feeling like a busy bee these days? I mean, it’s May. It comes around like Christmas – once a year, every year. Yet somehow… I never see it coming. And every year, as a mom of school-aged kiddos, I expect it to be manageable, but inevitably it’s full of numerous events: permission slips due, field […]

“I want to work with first-time authors to help them build their brand,” I said to a friend several days ago. There…I said it. It’s out in the open, and that makes it feel real. And real scary. It’s so scary because I feel completely unsure of myself. Imposter syndrome kicks in, and I think, […]

I sat in my boss’s office. My eyes were stinging from the tears I was holding back. “Jess, the client is not renewing our contract. I’m sorry, but I don’t have another big project to assign you to. We’re going to have to let you go.” Gut punch. I didn’t see that coming. Turns out […]

As moms and creative entrepreneurs, we’re in a constant battle between hustle culture and our desire to be intentional. We want to spend our time with the people that matter to us, and the work that ignites our passion and purpose. We inevitably feel the weight of overwhelm from being pulled in a million directions.

Can we talk about mom-guilt for a quick minute? I know it’s not a fun topic – but it feels all too important to NOT talk about it. We’re entering a new season of spring which usually means a fully loaded schedule all around. But really it seems that no matter what time of year […]

Here’s where I am today – I’m in my robe and pj’s. I’m not entirely sure what day it is, and I’ve lost track of how many days it’s been since I last showered (TMI?). I have had three sick kiddos home with me all last week and the littlest one is still home with […]

In January of 2018, before I found out we were (surprise) pregnant with our fourth son, I decided I would work out every day for a month. At the time, I didn’t know too much about building good habits, but I believed that if you did something every day for 21 days, you’ll build a […]

Yesterday was my birthday! And do you know what I wanted to do most on my birthday? Take a wild guess….no that’s okay, I’ll wait. Just guess! A shower. Yep. That’s it. A nice, long, super hot shower. No interruptions. No one knocking at the door needing my help. No one screaming outside the door […]

I absolutely LOVE this time of year. Truly, I live for it. First of all, shameless plug – January is my jam because it’s my birthday month. (Yes, I celebrate pretty much all month long. Don’t you?!) I also love it because after the holidays have worn out their welcome, there’s something special and sparkly […]

Well, hi there! Can I just say, I’m so glad you’re here! Welcome to this space. I hope you feel at home and at ease. I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself. After all, that’s how most great friendships start, right? With a beginning. So let’s dive in! My name is Jessica Henning, […]
