In two days, our second daughter turns 19. ❤️ on the Jewish calendar it’s already tonight and we spent it together 😘

As our daughter is about to turn 19, I’m reminded that young adulthood is also a season when parents learn to let go a little more—to trust, to hope for the best, and to keep loving while giving their children the space to become who they are meant to be, while allowing ourselves the space to become who we are meant to be, too. ❤️

5 July 2026 – A Little Space

As our children grow, parenting quietly changes too. This week I reflect on family, summer, finding a little space to breathe after years of raising children, and the joy of watching them become more independent as they discover their own paths. Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America. 🇺🇸🌿

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 🤍
As many of you know, making the invisible contributions of women and mothers more visible has always been at the heart of both my art and Unchained Mothering.

Today, if you’d like to support me and my artistic journey, you can also help make my mother’s contribution more visible ✨

I’m currently in 1st place in my group in The People’s Artist presented by Johnny Depp, but the race is incredibly tight and every single vote truly counts.

Voting is free and can be renewed every 24 hours 🙏

Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting art, mothering, women, and visibility.

Jessica

The countdown is palpable.

Last Sunday of the year.
While my IG reached almost half a million views in the past 90 days, it’s here, on the blog, that I slow down and say what doesn’t fit in a caption. This space asks a bit more effort — and I believe effort deserves something extra. So if you’re here, this one is for you 🥰

What Mayci Neeley’s Book Reminded Me About Humanity, Womanhood, Motherhood, Courage, and Truth — and What Women Have in Common, Wherever They Come From

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.
