A Transformative Keynote Your Audience Will Love.

Good Still Grows Here

Finding Courage and Unexpected Hope When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned

When life takes an unexpected turn, many people feel disoriented — unsure how to reconcile their faith, their disappointment, and their desire for more. They sense they were made for an extraordinary life, yet struggle to move forward when the story doesn’t unfold as planned.

In this keynote, audiences discover how the beliefs formed in painful moments shape how they see God, themselves, and their future — and how those beliefs quietly direct their next steps.

Through compelling storytelling, memorable metaphors, and actionable perspective shifts, Jessye guides participants toward greater clarity, stronger resilience, and the courage to move forward with renewed conviction.

Your audience leaves with a steadier vision for what is still possible — and a clear framework for building hope that lasts.

  • +Ideal for faith-based conferences, women’s events, leadership teams, and communities navigating transition who are seeking an honest, biblically grounded message of resilient hope.

    +Available in-person, virtual or pre-recorded.

    +The Good Still Grows Here keynote can be as short as 30 minutes or as long as 90 minutes, including a Q and A session.

    +Pair it with the interactive “Putting Handlebars on Hope” workshop. Designed to follow the keynote and help participants engage the tools more personally.

    +If you purchase a bulk order of the book “We Wrote Your Name in Color” and place a book on every chair, speaking honorariums are discounted.

Because we all need someone to write our name in color.

Hey, I’m Jessye!

I’m a speaker, storyteller, author, and podcast host—but more importantly, I’m someone who has lived through deep grief and major transition, when honestly I wasn’t sure if I could.

You see, I didn’t learn the work I do in theory.
I learned it by living it.

And friend, here’s what I know now:

When we change our perspective to see the good,
when we choose love over fear,
when we decide that pain doesn’t get to be the biggest part of our story—
life itself changes into technicolor.

So, if this isn’t the life you imagined—don’t stop there.

Let’s look again, because your story’s not over.

Good still grows here.
