About

My story

I guide women to love, lead, and live from the heart. This page is the longer version of what you see on the home page — how I got here, what I believe, and how I work.

How I learned to stay

[Placeholder — a personal turning point: loss, grief, or the moment “staying” became the center of your work instead of fixing or rushing past what hurts.]

[Placeholder — what changed when you stopped performing resilience and started writing honestly — on Instagram, then Substack, then in the room with clients.]

You might know me from @thefeminineheart or from essays on Substack. The through-line is the same: companionship through the writing, the reading, and the ordinary days in between.

What sits at the center

  • Interiority

    [Placeholder — willingness to go inward without turning it into self-improvement theater.]

  • Staying

    [Placeholder — not fixing the feeling or finishing it; putting experience into words so it can be met.]

  • Companionship

    [Placeholder — ally and guide in one-on-one work, on the page, and in community.]

“[Pull quote — one sentence that captures heart, grief, and choosing love after loss.]”

— Jessica Winterstern

Training & background

I studied human development and psychology at Harvard and spiritual psychology at USM, and I am completing a doctorate in depth psychology.
