Hi!

I’m Jessi Woinarowicz.

I know, that last name can be a tongue-twister! If you are not from northern Minnesota or Poland, it is pronounced 'Win-ah-raw-vich.' At 38, I thrive on bold coffee, Jesus, books, and, with three boys under 9, dry shampoo. In my professional life, I collaborate with driven leaders committed to uplifting and empowering others. At home, my husband, Matt, keeps me laughing and I take immense pride in being a mom to three wonderful boys.

Life's journey for me is all about connection, growth, love and humility. That's why I'm passionate about connecting with others and in 2020, founded Glaze and Grit podcast to share their stories. Within these pages, you'll discover why I see coffee as a communal experience worth sharing, my deep Midwestern roots and my desire to connect with people from all walks of life. Life's most beautiful and simple moments often occur beyond our immediate gaze, and I aspire to capture some of that beauty within these pages.

Thank you for coming alongside me in this beautiful journey we are privileged to be on.

  • I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side.

  • Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.

  • I am pieces of all the places I have been, and the people I have loved. I've been stiched together by song lyrics, book quotes, adventure, late night conversations, moonlight, and the smell of coffee.
