About Jessica (a.k.a. Stressica)

Hey, friend! I’m Jessica Pellè

Author. Publisher. Recovering perfectionist. MS warrior. VIP (Visually Impaired Person). Self-love sidekick. And your new favorite motivational hype woman. 💖

Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 25, I’ve faced more than my fair share of plot twists—but MS also taught me what real strength looks like. Through the ups, downs, and dizzy spirals (literally), I built a beautiful 20+ year career as a musical theater teacher and vocal coach. Teaching brought me joy, purpose, and so many unforgettable moments.

Then, in 2021, I moved cross-country with my hubby and five dogs—and with that fresh start came a new spark: writing. A way to turn all my lived mess into something magical, meaningful, and maybe even a little silly.

Around here, you’ll meet Stressica—my loud, dramatic, overthinking alter ego who used to run the show. These days, I’ve got tools, boundaries (on most days), a sharper sense of humor, and a mission:
To help you build a kinder inner voice, drop the pressure of “perfect,” and love yourself through every gloriously messy chapter of growth.

I write books with soul and sass—blending real talk, humor, and hands-on tools to help you:

💗 Silence your inner critic
✨ Embrace your weird
📓 Own your self-love journey
💃 And maybe do a little happy dance

When I’m not writing or designing printable magic, you’ll find me with my husband (I call him my “Guide Dog”), our rescue pups, a glass of wine in hand, and a playlist that slaps.

I believe in progress over perfection.
I believe in sparkly sneakers.
And I definitely believe you’re worthy of love—exactly as you are.
