Kelly Jo is equal parts old soul and firecracker—raised on gospel, grit, and good instincts. A self-made woman and single mom of five daughters who has rewritten her story more than once on a journey that has been anything but ordinary. With a sharp tongue, a soft heart, and a relentless drive to uplift others she has a soul that sings and a story that stings—in all the best ways . She writes like she lives: boldly, honestly, and with zero tolerance for BS. Her stories are full of soul lessons packed with side-eyes for the nonsense. Known for her heart-on-her-sleeve authenticity, she writes to connect, heal, and empower. Her debut book, Suck It Up, Buttercup, is a raw and relatable collection of personal essays that speak to the messy, beautiful, and often hilarious reality of being human. When she’s not writing or running her business, you can find her singing at the top of her lungs, painting and reimagining thrifted furniture, or turning a flea market haul into her next weekend project — all with music blasting in the background. Kelly Jo believes in showing up fully — with honesty, transparency, hope, and just the right amount of sass.
