Hi, I'm Jessica
I'm an ICF PCC credentialed coach trained in breathwork, mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and yoga, and a mama in Aledo, Texas. I started Calm & Colorful because every family deserves the tools we wish more of us had sooner.
Her name was Viktoria
I started Calm & Colorful in 2017 with a set of interactive coloring books and a coaching practice, because I kept meeting families who had the words for what was happening but no tools to go with them.
I built it because of a girl I used to babysit. Her name was Viktoria. She was thirteen when she died by suicide.
I can't undo that. What I can do is put the tools in families' hands earlier, so more little ones grow up knowing what to do with a big feeling and more parents have something to reach for.
Since then I've walked alongside children, teens, and parents through some of their hardest seasons. That work is where all of this comes from. What families need most is rarely more information. It's something they can reach for in the moment.
These days I live in Aledo, Texas, where I run a local group for mamas of little ones, and I'm working through an executive MBA program while building this. Some days that means writing audio scripts. Some days it means texting one mama to check in. All of it matters.
One breath. One moment at a time.
If you or someone you love needs support right now, you can call or text 988 anytime, day or night.
