“This above all: to thine own self be true.”
— Shakespeare, Hamlet
Welcome to This Above All: Motherhood.
I’m Jessica—a working mother, lifelong learner, and fellow wanderer on the journey of building a life that reflects what matters most.
Like many women, I’ve spent years trying to reconcile the demands of work, motherhood, home, health, friendships, and personal growth. For over a decade, I have scoured books on parenting, careers, productivity, time management, purpose, and wholeness, hoping to discover the secret to that elusive “balance” so many people talk about.
I have found that when our actions reflect our deepest values, we gain a greater feeling of peace and purpose, even in the chaos that parenting in modern society can be. I created this space to help others translate their values into everyday decisions, habits, and priorities so that their lives can feel more peaceful and purposeful.
At This Above All: Motherhood, you’ll find conversations about working while parenting, managing time intentionally, cultivating meaningful habits, defining success on your own terms, and creating a life that feels both purposeful and whole.
I’ll share lessons from my own journey, insights from research and books, amazing quotes, and stories from women who are thoughtfully building lives they love.
My hope is that you’ll find both practical tools and deeper encouragement here as we all work toward building more intentional lives that put our highest values above all else.
If you’re ready to build a life that reflects what matters most, I’d love for you to join me.
