About
Jessicamullen.com is about the magick of life design. Life design is the practice of consciously shaping one’s life situation by starting with the seed of reality: thought. By deliberately choosing the thoughts we want to think, we are empowered to magnificently change our realities from random, uneasy experiences to brilliant, flowing expressions of love.
You already are the designer of your life: every thought you think and emotion you feel adds up to project a signal. That signal you send is then reflected back to you in your life experiences. Your thoughts are like a computer file and reality is the printer. Change your thoughts, print out a new reality!
Life design is a pretty enormous subject, but fortunately I have found at least one way to make it way easier to manage: lifestreaming! A lifestream is a website that is essentially a representation of one’s life. Your Facebook profile is one version of a lifestream. A lifestream website gives you a place to start telling a new story about your life. What thoughts does the ideal you have? What kinds of products does the ideal you sell? What does the ideal you give to the world? That is what your lifestream is all about. Create a website for the person you want to be, and watch that person come to life!
If you don’t know where to start, begin with Lesson 1: Introduction to Life Design.

My favorite part about running jessicamullen.com is making fun worksheets and thought direction tools to share with y’all. It’s enjoyable to read about feeling good and having fun, but it’s way more satisfying to do the work yourself. Check out the Daily Self Love worksheet, the Gathering Momentum worksheet, or the Universal Grocery List. You can find all the worksheets with the worksheet tag.

About Jessica
Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m not from Texas, but I got here as fast as I could! I was born in Illinois, grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, got my BFA in graphic design at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, then dragged my kitties and wife down to Austin to get my MFA in lifestreaming from the University of Texas.
I’m a dreamy Pisces, a vegan chef, a late-blooming athlete, and an enthusiastic lifestreamer. My deepest loves are meditation, Astrojax and group fitness classes at the Y. My biggest inspirations are Abraham-Hicks, Gala Darling, Nicki Minaj, Wayne Dyer, Alan Watts, and Eckhart Tolle.
I’m a passionate life designer, a video podcaster, and I’m also an intern at UnderConsideration, where I get to learn from the best graphic designers in the game. You can see my own design portfolio here.
The “Official” Bio
Beginning with only a website and a strong aversion to people telling her what to do, Jessica set off to uncover the meaning of life. After a marathon race and raw food diet didn’t bring the key to happiness, Jessica discovered the power of thought through The Secret and Abraham-Hicks.
Having learned the spiritual truth that what you think about, you bring about, Jessica began putting the theory into practice via her lifestream website–a record of her thoughts and experiences.
In August 2010, Jessica launched the School of Life Design to share the ideas and processes that were transforming her life. The School advocates lifestreaming as a life design methodology, meaning it encourages readers to use a public website to direct their thoughts and tell their story. Create a website for the person you want to be, and watch that person come to life.
Now a thought leader in modern metaphysical philosophy, Jessica continues to explore the connection between the Internet and spirituality. As a designer, she strives to distill, condense, and clarify spiritual information to help people remember what they already know but may have forgotten.
About Lifestreaming
Lifestreaming is simply sharing your life experiences, usually online. You can lifestream by blogging, podcasting, or publishing an e-book. I lifestream by podcasting, posting lots of photos and creating articles for this site. This site is a lifestream website. It is a record of my activities, ideas and creations.
Lifestreaming is all about attracting the things you want into your life by documenting the good things that are already there. By posting about what makes you feel good, you are automatically asking for more things that feel good.
By lifestreaming, you are releasing your desires into the Internet. Publicly sharing your posts is a way for you to believe in them, and also a way to let them go and let the universe take over.
Picture asking for a recipe on Facebook. If your network of friends is large enough, you can trust that someone will answer you with what you want. You wouldn’t freak out, wondering if your question will ever be answered. You just believe someone will step in to help.
So then you receive what you want, and you can document your gratitude, sharing with others how easy it is to get what you want. Posting about the good things in your life just keeps them coming to you faster and faster.
I used to believe that lifestreaming was about portraying reality as it really was. A colleague critiqued my work, saying “what about documenting all the bad things that happen in your life?” I took her advice and started looking to document the shitty parts of my life. Guess what happened–I invited more shit into my life! Before that point, I didn’t have any shit to document! Lifestreaming is about creating experiences that make you feel good, releasing them into the Internet with trust that more good things will come from it, and then receiving more good things.
Posting about gratitude and visualization, or about anything you’re interested in, are just ways of feeling good. By sharing them online, you’re publicly asking for more good things! And when you share your experiences, more people get to see the positive outcomes you are creating, and might be inspired to do the same.
