Hey yall! I’m Jess-Mara, the chancellor of this here self care community! A little about me, I created this brand in the midst of the pandemic as a reminder to myself during that scary, uncertain and unprecedented time, to take the time to do what made me feel whole. I'm a giver through and through! Type 2 enneagram, INFJ to my core. I love giving gifts more than I do receiving them. (Well…almost.) So I get it. I get how second nature and noble, selflessness can seem. But I also know firsthand how depleting it can be.
The irony of Self Care Academy being my baby is that those closest to me will tell you I have the hardest time prioritizing my own self care. But that's why this brand is so important to me. Self Care Academy is my way of saying, no more putting ourselves on the back burner—whether it’s for the corporate grind, the “be everything to everyone” grind, or the “smile through the spiral” grind. It’s time to put ourselves at the top of our “pour into” list so we can be all we are destined to be.
Self care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.
