Simply be yourself, as if, it was possible, at least bite into it!
A whirlwind across Cali, Nevada, Give Miami Week, a surprise school switch, and a heart full of gratitude.
Conclusion? People make everything possible.
Life moves fast — but love, intention, and community keep us steady.
More soon… Basel is calling. 💛
Our first Miami Give 5K was unforgettable: 11 runners, 1 supporter, and a first-place win for our Unchained Mothering Ambassador. This powerful moment opens our call to support the work we do all year to make mothers and their invisible contributions seen.
I finally finished Mayci Neeley’s book — one I had preordered months before it even came out. What began as a tough read, filled with pain and uncomfortable truths, slowly unfolded into something deeply meaningful.
Womanhood, Motherhood — in all its forms — is a universal language. No matter where we come from, we share the same fears, hopes, and strength to grow through life’s hardest moments.
Artist Jessica de Vreeze explores how art uplifts and connects us — how friends hot yoga and 5 K can uplift and invites you to join Unchained Mothering’s 5K Walk for empowerment and community.
We often act out of fear of missing out or not doing enough — chasing every opportunity before it disappears. But sometimes the greatest strength lies in choosing differently: letting go, trusting timing, and finding peace in doing what truly matters.
Life has been a rollercoaster, but with every challenge comes a way to grow. This reflection is about faith, presence, and remembering that light — and peace — begin with us.
Amid chaos, love and perspective lead the way — and this week, 3 milestones: my husband ran the Berlin Marathon and completed the 6 majors, an article was published and my work Keep on Dancing enters the Coral Gables Museum’s permanent collection.
A week of Rocky, college drop-offs, candle wax, and remembering to care for myself!
Life has a way of repeating the same lesson until we finally slow down and listen. ✨
These past weeks reminded me: even in a world full of heaviness, we can’t let darkness steal our light. Let go of what’s non-essential, give yourself grace, and hold on to the joy that keeps us moving forward.
With love,
Jess 🌸
