I’m Jessica Schoettle — a wife, mother, daughter, friend, photographer, consultant and storyteller at heart.
My days are often full of kids, caffeine, and chaos, but beneath it all is a deep love for people and the stories that connect us.
Writing began as a way to make sense of life’s messier moments — the parenting doubts, the late-night overthinking, and the everyday beauty we often overlook.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me behind a camera capturing real-life moments, spending countless hours on my hobby farm, going on some sort of adventure with my family or pouring my heart into one of the many ventures that keep me learning, laughing, and growing.

Why I write:
I write to make a difference — for my children, for your children, and for the world they’ll grow up in. Writing has always been my way of understanding life: the chaos, the beauty, and everything in between. It helps me slow down, reflect, and find meaning in the moments that often go unnoticed.My books are more than stories — they’re road maps. Each one offers wisdom, honesty, and gentle guidance for the seasons of motherhood, personal growth, and rediscovering yourself along the way. I write for the mothers doing their best, the dreamers chasing something more, and the hearts that just need a reminder they’re not alone.
Through my words, I hope to create connection and spark change — to remind us that even in our different journeys, our hearts are more alike than we realize. My purpose is simple: to use my stories to help build a kinder, softer world for our tiny humans to grow up in.

What inspires my stories:
My stories are inspired by real life — the laughter echoing through a busy home, the quiet moments after everyone’s asleep, and the lessons hidden in both joy and heartbreak.
I find inspiration in motherhood, friendship, and the everyday connections that shape who we are. The simple, ordinary moments — the ones we often rush past — are the ones that remind me how extraordinary life really is.
Each book is a reflection of the love, growth, and grace that weave through our imperfect, beautiful lives.

A few fun facts about me:
- I run on caffeine, chaos, and big dreams.
- I absolutely LOVE animals — I have a growing hobby farm in Wisconsin where every day feels like a mix of mud, laughter, and heart therapy.
- The ocean is my happy place, and my family and I are lucky enough to call Florida our second home.
- I’ve earned multiple degrees, ranging from Marketing to Educational Leadership — because I’ve never believed in stopping at “good enough.”
- My camera roll is full of kids, critters, and sunsets — the everyday moments that matter most.
- I’ve owned childcare centers, rental properties, and more planners than I can count — organization is my love language (even if life doesn’t always cooperate).
- I have an unhealthy obsession with Peanut M&M’s and a soft spot for anything that smells like almond & apples.
- I laugh loudly, love deeply, and find beauty in the little things.
- My dream? To sell a million books that make people feel seen, supported, and inspired.
