GRACE & GRIT FOR CAREGIVERS
speaking
“To hear Jess speak is to understand in some small measure the power of God to use any trial for His glory. Through powerful storytelling and a humility that allows the truth to ring clear, Jess captivates and inspires her audiences.”
—Katie Appold, Alliance of Information and Referral Services
BRINGING hope & solutions
Through powerful storytelling and authentic vulnerability, I encourage caregivers, parents, and professionals navigating the hard and holy work of caregiving, grief, faith, and advocacy. Drawing from my personal journey, I speak about burnout, blended families, special needs parenting, and creating solutions that truly support families in crisis. Audiences leave feeling understood, inspired, and reminded they are not alone in their story.
