About
My story
Jessica Rose Williams is a writer and blogger who is incapable of writing about herself in the third person, so I’ll continue in the first – hi!
I write about living the life you want to live instead of the life you think you should. Following my own life overhaul post cervical cancer diagnosis at my first smear test when I was 25, this subject is close to my heart. Everything is fine now, but the experience was enough to shift my mindset. I made a promise to myself I would start making changes in a bid to make my life more meaningful. I didn’t know what that looked like at the time but I found myself at a crossroads of sorts and I set off to find myself.
I’m still on my quest, openly, honestly and often in full view of the internet. Along the way I’m discovering my version of freedom, joy and enough. I started small with decluttering my house and wardrobe and eventually I let go of the bigger things like debt, overwhelming commitments, a career I despised and broken relationships. I stopped doing things I did purely out of habit or peer pressure like drinking and I fell in love with owning a less than 50 piece wardrobe and a simpler home. I started prioritising what fed me the most and letting go of what wasn’t serving me.
My latest adventures have taken me away from the English country cottage life to Paris, which I now call home.
