Jessy, this gave me chills. The rawness, the fight, the way you capture that push-pull of doubt and determination, this is exactly why your book needs to be in the world.
The way you frame storytelling as both a lifeline and an act of defiance resonates so deeply. So many will see themselves in your words, and I have no doubt your memoir will leave a mark.
In a way, I feel a kinship with your journey: writing about childhood, family, and the things that shape us. Though my own story leans more into humor and the absurdity of being raised by two therapist parents, at its core, it's also about making sense of the past. Whatever that looks like.
Standing with you in the terror and the triumph. Can’t wait to read...
Wow, this means so much to me. Truly. The push-pull of doubt and determination has been the undercurrent of this entire process, and hearing that it comes through in the writing makes me feel seen in such a deep way.
I love what you said about storytelling being both a lifeline and an act of defiance—because yes, that’s exactly what it is. Taking ownership of our stories feels like the most radical thing we can do. And knowing that others feel that same pull to make sense of the past in their own way makes me feel less alone in it.
Wow, your story sounds fascinating. That’s such a rich, layered lens to write from, and I know it’s going to resonate deeply with people. Because at the core of it, we’re all just trying to understand where we came from and what it means.
You are so brave to do this! Would you be offended if I borrowed this idea to share my novel? I'm exhausted with pitching to agents. I just want to release this book and work on the next one.
💛

Caught my interest
Happy to hear it! Thanks for being here.
“Don’t let anyone make you feel like your story isn’t enough.
Not even you.”
That hits SO hard ❤️
Right?! Me too. I wrote it and was like, yikes, I really needed to hear this.
