Meet Jessica Rae:
A Journey of Catharsis, Transformation, and Healing
My own lived experiences have created the need and want for me to strive to create a safe place for my subjects to explore their vulnerability and authenticity... because I also strive for it to be a safe place for me to explore my own. — Jessica Rae
Hi, I’m Jessica Rae.
My work as a creative entrepreneur is rooted in the belief that art has the power to heal, transform, and guide us through cathartic experiences. Through my photography, my role at MisMacK Clean Cosmetics, and my personal journey shared through "Untethered," I’m committed to helping others tap into their most authentic selves, embrace vulnerability, and find personal growth.
I believe that embracing our true selves—free from societal constraints and self-judgment—is not only empowering but deeply healing. My work is dedicated to creating spaces where authenticity and vulnerability are celebrated, allowing for real transformation.

My Journey
The Path to Self-Acceptance and Empowerment
From Struggle to Strength: A Journey of Healing and Transformation
A decade ago, feeling suffocated by society’s standards of beauty and body image, I reached a breaking point. I was exhausted from the constant self-criticism and the societal pressures to conform. It was then that I decided to take control of my narrative and embrace a path toward healing. This journey led to the creation of Artist Jessica Rae, a space dedicated to breaking free from the limitations of body negativity and fostering a cathartic experience for others to reconnect with themselves.
Through intimate portrait photography, I aimed to help others see their true selves—not through the lens of judgment or comparison, but through a lens of healing, authenticity, and self-celebration. It was about more than capturing images; it was about empowering people to embrace their vulnerability, find catharsis, and celebrate the unique beauty that lies within.
Evolving Focus
Embracing New Creative Paths
From Photography to Empowerment Through Art, Beauty, and Storytelling
As my journey progressed, I realized that my creative expression could extend beyond photography. I began to embrace new ways to inspire, heal, and transform, leading me to my current role with MisMacK Clean Cosmetics. Here, I am able to help empower others through clean beauty, while emphasizing authenticity and vulnerability as the true measures of beauty.
At the same time, my video journal series "Untethered Journal" was born—a space where I openly share my personal journey of transformation. Through this series, I explore themes of vulnerability, healing, and creative growth. It’s an honest reflection of my journey, and through sharing it, I invite others to join me in embracing their own path of self-discovery and cathartic change.
Healing, Transformation, and the Power of Authenticity
My Mission – Why I Create
My mission is to create work that heals, transforms, and empowers others. I firmly believe that by embracing authenticity and vulnerability, we open the door to profound healing and personal growth. Whether through photography, beauty, or storytelling, my goal is to help others find catharsis—allowing them to shed old narratives and embrace their true, powerful selves.
Every project I undertake is a chance to facilitate transformation. I strive to create spaces and experiences where people can reconnect with their inner strength, embrace their uniqueness, and celebrate who they are—without fear or self-judgment.
My Values
What Drives Me
Catharsis, Transformation, Healing, and Vulnerability
The values that guide my work reflect the core of who I am and the journey I’m on:
Catharsis
I believe in the liberating power of release—whether it’s through art, expression, or deep emotional work. My goal is to create spaces where catharsis can take place, where individuals can let go of self-limiting beliefs and feel a sense of freedom.
Transformation
True change happens when we let go of who we were and embrace who we are becoming. Through my work, I help facilitate this transformation by empowering others to see themselves in a new, more authentic light.
Healing
Healing is at the heart of my creative process. My mission is to help others heal from societal pressures, self-criticism, and past wounds, creating a space where they can reconnect with their true selves.
Vulnerability
Embracing vulnerability is the key to growth. I believe that by being vulnerable, we allow ourselves to be truly seen and begin the healing process. My work aims to create a space where vulnerability is celebrated, not feared.
Looking Ahead
The Future of My Work
A Future of Continued Growth, Connection, and Creative Healing
As I continue my journey, I’m excited for the opportunities ahead to further integrate healing, transformation, and authenticity into my work. My creative evolution is just beginning, and I’m always open to exploring new paths and collaborations that empower individuals to embrace their full selves.
Whether it’s through my work at MisMacK, Untethered Journal, or new creative ventures, I’m committed to helping others find catharsis, embrace their vulnerability, and step into their most authentic, empowered selves. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us all, together.
