First and foremost, I’m a mom to my two beautiful kids, Lakelynn and Beckett . In late 2022 I hit a breaking point with my mental health. Overwhelmed and completely burnt out, I made the difficult but very necessary decision to walk away from a 10-year career to focus on myself and my kids. I lived and breathed the brave face, so much so that many closest to me had no clue how much I was hurting.

I had nothing left, and I needed some real help.

My goal with Healing Not Yet Healed is to help others feel less alone in their struggles by sharing my own experiences with mental health, trauma, and motherhood. I want to provide validation, comfort, and hope to those who are navigating similar challenges, especially those dealing with family trauma or the impact of addiction.

Beyond just sharing, I am advocating for mental health awareness and encouraging people to embrace healing. Even when it’s messy or feels out of reach. My blog is a safe space for honesty and growth, where people can see that struggling doesn’t mean failing and that healing is a journey, not a destination.

My hope is that being authentic, raw, and deeply empathetic my audience (you) will feel seen and understood. Like you’re sitting across from a friend who truly gets it. My blog is a mix of gentle encouragement, honesty, and resilience, often balancing vulnerability with hope. Even when touching on heavy topics like trauma or addiction, I hope to remind people that they’re not alone and that healing, while messy, is possible.

You are enough. You matter. You are amazing just as you are.

With love,
Jess
