Well-Lived with Jessica Payne

Well-Lived with Jessica Payne

Welcome to my KZread channel where I post a new video every Sunday at 10am ET!! Here you will find how I am committed to living a life well-lived. I truly believe that everything in this life is meant for me - there is not a space where I do not belong - and there are zero limits in the experiences I will try. I don’t know how much longer I will be on this earth - but what I know for sure is - I’m going to have a damn good time while I’m here!

Follow along with me each week to see how I live my life fearlessly.

    Wow! You guys seem to have had a great girls trip in NY. I love your black glasses, I have a pair they look amazing on. The price is good and the quality is even better. Your sister had on a pair of wide leg pants and a one shoulder top that I think is so cute. Can you send link for those items?🩵

But once I do - watch out now, lol!!! And oh my goodness - the mantle. Talk about a project taking forever! Why are the "smallest" projects always the ones that are the biggest pain in my you know what? It's funny to think that I actually thought this entire project would take 2 weeks tops.

I would have probably carried it up to the ceiling simply because I don't want to stop looking at it in that space. I was in a ball of knots watching you figure out the placement under the window but I can finally exhale. It looks perfect. Talking about creating memories; I'm sure that you and Mark will never forget this project. LOL

    Oh we will never forget this project - or any of them, lol!!!! It seems like every project there is an issue that we have to figure out - but somehow we make it work. I can say each project we get better and better, and every time we learn a new skill. About the potential trim under the window - I was like how did I not think of this? I always feel like I've thought of everything - but constantly I'm reminded that I don't. This was one of those times - but I think not adding trim under the window makes most sense. Also, I found some trim that I really love and think that it will finish off the wood nicely. Completely different than what I was originally thinking. Eeeek - I can't wait for the reveal!!!

    Hi Jessica I’m in tears as I write this but I came across your channel a few sleepless nights ago and I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. Just now I realized why I was led here. My beloved beautiful amazing aunt passed away in her sleep in May. She was only 62. And she meant the world to me. Similar to your aunt she was all about living life to the fullest and positivity. I feel like this video is her reminder to me to live my best happy life as much as possible. I definitely wish that I had more time with her. Thank you.

    This means so much to me - and this is exactly why I create these videos each week. First of all, welcome to the channel! I'm so happy that you found me and that you resonated with my content. Losing my Aunt has been one of the hardest most profound events of my life. She is the reason why am who I am, and why I decided to create on KZread. I used to be scared of everything. I used to limit myself and always waited for the perfect moment to do (fill in the blank). After she passed I decided I was going to start living right then and was going to live a limitless life. I'm doing things now I never thought I could or would. I'm traveling the world, I'm facing all sorts of fears, I've allowed myself to love and be loved, and while I would do anything to have her back, I appreciate the lesson she provided as a result of her passing and that is to LIVE LIFE NOW. I'm so happy that this video was shown to you at the time you needed a little reminder. That means more to me than anything really. Sure likes and subscribes are great, but feeling a connection with someone on the other side of the screens means absolutely everything to me. Again, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Now please, go live your best life while you can!
