Jessica is a single, working mom doing her best to hold everything together-career, motherhood, relationships, and her own sense of self-while quietly wondering: what does happiness really look like for me?
In Defining Happiness, follow Jessica's honest and heartfelt journey as she navigates the messy, beautiful reality of modern life. From the pressures of work-life balance and the emotional weight of raising a daughter on her own, to the vulnerability of stepping back into the dating world, her story reflects the struggles so many women face but rarely say out loud.
Along the way, Jessica finds unexpected healing and purpose through fostering rescue dogs-discovering that sometimes the act of caring for others can help us reconnect with ourselves. Through moments of chaos, humor, heartbreak, and growth, she begins to redefine what it means to feel fulfilled, confident, and whole.
This is more than just a story about surviving-it's about starting over, letting go of perfection, and creating a life that feels right, even when it doesn't look the way you planned.
Perfect for readers who are:
- navigating single motherhood
- balancing career and personal life
- healing after heartbreak or starting over
- exploring dating and relationships in today's world
- searching for purpose, self-worth, and happiness
Warm, relatable, and uplifting, Defining Happiness is a reminder that life will always be a little chaotic-but happiness isn't one-size-fits-all. It's something we define for ourselves, in our own time, in our own way.
