I'm not here to fix your grief...

Hi, friend!

My name is Jessica Boarman, and I know grief not as a concept, but as a lived reality. 

I've learned that grief doesn't always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it arrives quietly through loss  and
moments that change us without asking permission.
And often, it lingers longer than we expect. 

What I offer here isn't a formula for healing or a timeline for moving on. It's a space to remind you that you don't
have to navigate life's challenges alone. 

Grief reshaped my life in ways I never anticipated. It asked me to sit with questions I couldn't answer, to feel emotions I once avoided, and to learn how to lie honestly when life no long fit the plan I had imagined. 

For a long time, I tried to be "resilient" the way the world often defines it. You know...strong, capable, composed. But what I've learned is that true resilience doesn't come from pushing through, it comes from allowing ourselves to be held by God...and by others. 

That realization changed everythign. 

It's what led me to writing, to speaking, to podcasting, and to creating spaces where women don't have to project strength in order to belong. 

I love you, my friend, and I'm happy you are here. 


I'm here to walk with you.

Hi friend...

Find Your Resilience Style

I'M JESSICA BOARMAN

I'm someone who knows what it's like to carry a lot quietly. I've walked 
through grief, loss, and seasons that changed me in ways I never expected. 
For a long time, I tried to be the strong one...the fixer, the achiever, the one
who held it all together. Eventually, that way or living caught up with me.

What I've learned...through heartbreak, faith, and a lot of honest reflection...
is that healing doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when we slow down, 
tell the truth about what we're carrying, and allow ourself to be supported. 

This space was created from that place. Here, we talk about grief, emotions, faith, and the messy middle of real life. Not with quick answers or polished advice...but with compassion, curiosity, and room to breathe. Journaling has been a steady companion for me through it all, and it's one of the ways I help other untangle what's been sitting heavy on their hearts. 

I don't believe resilience means pushing through at all costs. I believe it's found in learning how to stay present, ask for help, and keep going, even when the path looks different than you imagined. 

If you're navigating loss, change, or a season that feels hard to name, I'm really glad you are here. 

Hold up a minute!

Before we go any further, let me introduce myself...

AS SEEN IN

Make Space Monthly is a thoughtful, once-a-month message from me to you! It's written for the in-between seasons when life feels a little tender or overwhelming. 

Inside each email, I share personal reflections on grief, faith, and the everyday work of living well, along with words of encouragement meant to meet you where you are. 

Some months we explore loss and transition. Other months it's about letting go of perfection, learning to rest, or finding steadiness again. Always, it's an invitation to move a little slower and listen more closely to what truly matters.
