About Jessica's book, Thank You for Dumping Me
Thank You for Dumping Me is a book about a blindsided breakup turned personal growth opportunity, learning to love yourself after heartache, and the challenging transitions that help us get to know ourselves more deeply. It’s raw and real, with witty humor and a lot of heart!
At the end of every chapter, you will find self-discovery activities as an invitation to reflect on how your own experiences shape your journey.
Jess is on a mission to rebrand breakups from something to be feared, dreaded, and full of sorrow to opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and life course redirects.
