Hi, I’m Jess ronne.
I strive to use my creativity & experiences
to bring hope when it’s lost or hard to find.
Caregiving with
Grit and Grace
hey Friend!
welcome!
I passionately support caregivers, good books, and simple living.
I’m a lifelong student of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and how to best love the Lord, my neighbor, and myself well, which admittedly, can be challenging at times. I love all things Italy, trauma care, somatics, yoga nidra, fiction, cozy spaces, warm lights, days when I’m snowed in (which occur often in Michigan), and of course, days spent at the lake are also hard to beat. My meal of choice is hands down, a nice cold IPA (the hoppier the better) with a wood-fired pizza. Companion of choice, my husband, of course.
Just keep livin.
A light which cannot be diminished
Jess Ronne’s humility, sense of humor, and natural gift
to connect authentically with those around her
invites deepened conversation, curiosity, and commitment
to stakeholdership for true disability inclusion.

Events & Engagements
Invite Jess to speak at your next event.
I love speaking at caregiver events, churches, and women’s conferences. I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned on my journey—I love traveling around the country and meeting all of you. Some of my favorite topics include:
MY LATEST DEVOTIONAL
Caregiving with Grit and Grace
You are doing holy work. Caring for a loved one can stretch the heartstrings and the soul in equal measure, leaving caregivers to walk an exhausting, isolating, stressful, and seemingly thankless path. Caregiving with Grit and Grace offers solace for your journey and extends a heartfelt invitation to view your role through the lens of eternity.
Jesus sees your labor of love—every sacrifice, every tender touch, every hard-earned sigh. Let this book remind you that with every act of devotion, you glorify God and reflect the heart of the One who cares for us all.
Caregiving with Grit and Grace offers encouragement and hope for caregivers.

Along with Caregiving with Grit and Grace, I’m also the author of three other books to help you grow: Sunlight Burning at Midnight, Lovin’ with Grit and Grace, and Blended with Grit and Grace.
