Welcome to your joy era
Hi, friend! Welcome to the Joy Edit with Jean.
In this post, I’m sharing the heart behind The Joy Edit and the journey that brought it to life.
When I first started creating content, I had zero intention of starting a website. I just wanted to share snippets of my home and maybe inspire others to find more joy in their everyday lives. At the time, I was a new-ish mom—exhausted, overwhelmed, and spending way too much time doom scrolling. I felt like something was missing, but I didn’t know what—until I read Find Your Unicorn Space by Eve Rodsky. What I realized was that I was craving a creative outlet that truly felt like mine.
Motherhood is a hard and isolating season, especially new motherhood, and I didn’t fully understand how much I needed it. Find Your Unicorn Space taught me that creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. Creating content became my form of self-care, a way to reconnect with myself in the midst of all the chaos.
I am an introvert so I initially hated showing up on camera. But I had no idea how kind, supportive, and encouraging this community would be. You gave me the courage to step out of my comfort zone—and I’m so thankful.
What I also didn’t expect? That brands would start reaching out, asking me to create content for them! And while I still feel like I’ve got impostor syndrome, getting to help brands tell their stories with heart—through my lens and voice—is something I find so creatively fulfilling. It brings me real joy to connect brands with their audience in ways that feel honest, thoughtful, and aligned.
That same spirit of connection is what drives everything I share. Because being a mom—while beautiful—can feel isolating, even when you have an amazing in-person support system (which I’m super lucky to have). But in those quiet, messy, everyday moments—when the to-do list is never-ending and you’re craving something light—you turn to your online spaces. And that’s why I’m here.
After a year and a half of creating, I’m stepping into The Joy Edit with Jean with intention and purpose. My mission is simple: to help you make space for joy and create joy, whether you're a busy parent, a creative soul, a home decor enthusiast, or a brand looking to connect with your audience in a meaningful way.
We all know Instagram and TikTok show the glossy highlights—the 10 to 30 seconds it takes to make something look effortless. But I’m an old soul girlie at heart. I love slow moments, behind-the-scenes details, and understanding the why and the how. If that resonates with you, you’ll feel right at home here. I’ll be sharing more long-form content to complement what you see on my socials. (And if you’re just here for the short and sweet—no worries! I’m glad you’re here either way.)
If you’re an individual…
To help you make space for joy, I’ll share:
Tips and products that make busy parenting life easier
Organization and cleaning hacks that actually save time
The messy, unfiltered moments that remind you you’re not alone
To help you create joy in your home and life, I’ll share:
Step-by-step craft and DIY tutorials
The stories behind my home style and decor
Inspiration for joyful living—indoors and out

If you’re a brand…
To help you share joy with your audience, I’ll help you:

No matter how you found your way here—whether you're seeking inspiration, support, or a creative partner—I’m so happy you’re part of this community. Welcome to your joy era.
