Hi!
I’m Jessica
I’m a cozy living expert, recovering perfectionist, and an enthusiastic calm seeker. I believe that life should be full of simple pleasures, like curling up on the couch with a good book or taking a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. That’s why I love helping people create a life they love – one that’s cozy and comfortable, without feeling too constrained. For me, that means finding ways to simplify and de-stress our lives without giving up the things we enjoy most. It’s all about finding what works for you and enjoying the journey!
Wait, no, that’s Austin Powers in a nutshell. But that’s probably a good place to start! I’m a child of the 90s…which my musical taste, pop culture references, and outdated slang will probably confirm. Sorry, not sorry.
WELCOME TO MY LITTLE SPACE FOR CALM AND COZY
I’ve been happily married to my adorable husband for almost 15 years now. And he’s had a big part in helping me learn how to slow down, relax, and realize that it really is okay not to spend all my time “doing.”
We do have furbabies, though. Our current cast of creatures:
- Goose, the senior cat who is pretty sure she’s seen it all at this point and is phased by nothing.
- Jerry & Elaine (Yes, they’re named after Seinfeld characters. Remember those 90s references I mentioned?), our brother and sister kitties…visitors never know they exist because they are the very definition of scaredy cats.
- And Colonel Forbin, the youngest kitty. He was saved from an air conditioning unit at 3 weeks old and is now firmly convinced that he is the boss around here.
This is why I decided to start CozySimpleCalm.
A cozy, simple, and calm lifestyle is not my natural setting. Due to my own personal blend of nature and nurture, I’ve spent too much time being closer to uncomfortable, overcomplicated, and stressed.
And I got sick of it! I was so tired of calm moments feeling like a luxury. I was tired of feeling like I was too busy to sit down for a while and just enjoy a moment. Tired of waking up every day just wishing for a break from the same sort of low-key chaos.
I finally realized that if I wanted a different lifestyle, I’d have to actually do something to make that happen. So I did. I started learning. And unlearning. (Sooo much unlearning!)
And THAT’S why CozySimpleCalm exists. Because I know I’m not alone in this. I can see it in people’s lives every day. That desire to live a slower-paced, happier kind of life but not knowing exactly how to start.
Or if it can even happen. (Spoiler alert: It can.)
I hope you enjoy this weird little mix of tips, ideas, approaches, and perhaps the most essential thing, PERMISSION, to shift your life into a calmer, happier kind of normal.
