You Were Made For More Than Just Surviving Another Day


I’m here to help you combine your love for Jesus with taking great care of your body and mind. You can live an extraordinary life--

the one that God’s called you to.


"I came that they may have life--

and have it to the full."


- Jesus Christ

Hi, I’m Jessica


I'm the founder of A Thriving Catholic, a wife, mom of 3, and a former Army Officer.


I love integrating the truths of the Catholic faith with healthy habits that lead to a flourishing life.



I've spent decades searching for what makes for the "good life" and how to live it--gleaning all I can from diverse fields: nutrition, productivity, exercise science, positive psychology, sleep science--and of course, Christ and his Church.


I don't have all the answers. I'm just a "beggar who knows where to get bread."


But I can honestly say that an abundantly joyful life is possible. And I'm dedicated to helping you become a thriving Catholic!
