Meet Jessica.
I’m so glad you’re here.

I didn’t grow up with stability. I didn’t grow up knowing my biological father. And I didn’t grow up in a safe or faith-filled environment. While I was introduced to Catholicism as a kid, was baptized and confirmed, my early years were marked by pain, abuse, confusion, and rejection. Like many women, I carried silent wounds and deep questions... about my worth, my identity, and my purpose. But instead of turning to God, I blamed Him, and turned away from my faith at 14 years old.

In search of healing and belonging, I married young at 18 believing he would save me from my pain and void, which ultimately became another abusive relationship. I became a mother at 19, still a child in my own mind, but introduced to a love that went beyond anything I ever imagined.  I explored everything from alternative lifestyles to world religions and philosophies. I pursued what felt empowering, even spiritual, but without truth as my anchor. That led me down paths I never imagined, including a same-sex relationship that became a marriage. It was during that season, after becoming a mother, that God gently but unmistakably began to open my eyes. Not in shame, but in truth and love.

Through a series of broken moments and undeniable divine encounters, it wasn’t until after losing my mother to brain cancer that I finally broke beyond anything I thought I believed in could help. My eclectic mix of beliefs and spiritual ideas crumbled. And it was there, at rock bottom, that I came face to face with the real Jesus.
Not the version I had rejected growing up…
But the One who heals the deepest wounds and restores the most shattered hearts.
He called me back. Back to Him. Back to truth. Back to the identity He always had for me.

Rooted on Purpose was born from that place... not because I have all the answers, but because I know the One who does. I don't show up as a woman who has it all figured out… I show up as a woman who has been rescued by grace.

Everything I create, from courses to devotionals, resources to reflections, is simply the overflow of what Christ has done in me. Tools I’ve used. Lessons I’ve learned. Things I wish I had when I was still in the dark and searching for something real. My heart is for the woman who feels unseen. The one who’s trying to hold it all together. The one who’s been hurt by religion, burdened by shame, or haunted by questions she’s afraid to ask. You’re not alone. You’re not too far gone. And you’re not without purpose. If He can heal me, He can heal you. Let’s walk it out, rooted in truth, grounded in grace, and led by the only One who can truly restore.
