Jess lives with her husband and four kids (Malachi 17, Scout 15, Oaklee, 13, Haven 11) in California. She’s passionate about family, friendship, and keepin’ it real. You may have seen her work on Love What Matters, The Huffington Post, Motherly, Scary Mommy, Today Parents, Her View From Home, ABC, and more. Her articles have been shared as one of Huff Post Parent’s best articles of 2016 and 2017 and she was Motherly’s Writer of the Year for 2016.
Since then she’s co-authored two nationally best selling books I’ll Be There (But I’ll Be Wearing Sweatpants) (2021) and Here For It (The Good, The Bad, and the Queso) (2024), and appeared in national media including Good Morning America. She co-founded the page Sister, I am with you with her friend and co-author Amy Weatherly (all about friendship), and the page is now over 1.7 million strong. She also writes on her own page of 376 thousand followers on motherhood, friendship, and life called Jess Johnston.
She is very excited to announce her first solo book that will be released in February, 2025, called Perfect is Boring (and it tastes like kale).
