Soft Life, Hard Truths

Hi. I’m Jessica.

I’m a mother to twins, and like a lot of women, motherhood didn’t just change my schedule—it dismantled my identity.

For a long time, my life revolved around surviving the day. Keeping everyone else regulated. Holding it together. Doing what needed to be done while quietly disappearing in the process. I loved my children deeply, but I was exhausted, burnt out, and carrying a version of myself I no longer recognized.

This space exists because pretending I was “fine” stopped working.

Soft Life, Hard Truths is where I’m rebuilding—out loud and honestly. Not in a hustle-culture, “do more” way, and not in a fantasy version of softness either. I write about what it actually takes to rebuild identity, income, and stability as a mother when your nervous system is fried and your capacity is limited.

Here, we talk about:

• The identity loss that comes with motherhood (especially twin motherhood)
• Burnout and survival mode no one prepares you for
• Rebuilding income without chasing scams or side-hustle fantasies
• Creating systems—financial, emotional, and practical—that make life sustainable
• Using modern tools and technology to reduce mental load, not add to it
• Choosing a soft life that is grounded in reality, boundaries, and strategy

This isn’t a blog about “doing it all.”
It’s about doing what actually works.

I’m not here to sell you overnight success or aesthetic versions of peace. I’m here to document what rebuilding looks like when you’re responsible for other humans and still refuse to disappear.

If you’re a mother who knows there has to be more than survival—more than exhaustion, more than holding it together—you’re in the right place.

This is soft living, told truthfully.
