Welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m Jess, and I’ve been sharing my life journey for the past fourteen years—the ups, downs and triumphs born from struggles.
As one of the top 16 fitness influencers in Northern England and a two-time award-winning mental health awareness writer, I’ve found solace and purpose in sharing my experiences online.
From documenting my teen years to becoming a beacon of hope on Positively Jessica Ward, this space has been my refuge during life’s toughest moments.
Growing up, I didn’t keep a traditional diary for fear that others (particularly my parents) would discover my personal ramblings about life. Instead, I poured my thoughts onto this blog—a raw, unfiltered outlet where I navigated my challenging experiences with bullying, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and more.
Twelve years ago, someone saw the potential in my online musings and urged me to transform them into a platform for positivity. Little did I know then that my words could inspire others and ignite a path to healing and empowerment.
Positively Jessica Ward emerged from this revelation—a space bursting with colour, authenticity and a commitment to turning struggles into triumphs. I take great pride in ensuring my area of the internet is a safe space for all.
Join me as I share the highs, lows and everything in between. I post every single month right here on my blog, but if you’re looking for a daily dose of honesty, sunshine, and empowerment, come over to my Instagram page!
If you are a regular viewer and reader of my blog, thank you for supporting me on my journey and championing my mental health awareness, I couldn’t do it without you.
I hope you enjoy my blog, and remember, you are never alone.
