Burnout is real, but ya girl is baccckk 🫡
Took a breather, remembered I actually like it here… and my 14 loyal followers held it down like y’all were waiting for my Renaissance Tour. Respect. 🙏

rebranding my business with the same energy I had starting every D1 game:
locked in, overprepared, and just a little mad at the system
except now I get to build something that actually supports women — not just survives them

started 4 years D1
Team USA. All-Conference.
and still had a horrible college experience.
so no, I don’t glorify the grind — I advocate so these girls can win on and off the court.

cheering on these 19-year-old women signing NIL deals like a proud auntie who just missed the wave by one NCAA cycle
if I can’t cash in, I’ll damn sure help the next ones do it

watching women’s sports go full main character energy this year while i quietly build an empire between meetings and kids activities.
we’re not the moment—we’re the blueprint. #womenssports #maincharacterenergy

every time i see a 23-year-old “life coach” i’m like babe… you just learned how to do your own laundry. respectfully.

i’ve been an athlete, a mom, a manager, a business owner, a burnout, a comeback. trust me, i’ve got notes.

at this point, i’m just trying to manifest:
– a group text where everyone replies
– a schedule that respects my brain and my bedtime
– an exit strategy from this “starter home”

until then, i’ll be over here writing, working, and backing women’s sports

Real talk: AI isn’t here to replace your job—it’s here to replace your excuses.
As a manager and a small biz owner, I’ve seen firsthand how AI can either free your time or paralyze your progress.
Choose wisely.
(Also, hire moms. We already are AI.)

Hi, I’m Jess, mom of 2 lil tornadoes, retired D1 volleyball player, garden-obsessed wine-maker, corporate queen by day, dream-chaser by night.
I write, I build businesses, and I cheer loud for women’s sports.
If you like hot takes with a soft heart, stay awhile. We’re gonna grow (and glow) together.
