TERESA VELARDI
JESSYKA COULTER is an author, speaker, potter, and passionate advocate for storytelling. She is also the founder of Authentic Endeavors Publishing, a hybrid publisher. Teresa is especially devoted to inspirational, Christian, and children’ s books that inspire faith, hope, and purpose across generations. She often says,“ Gratitude is the key that unlocks the door to prosperity in every area of life.” As host of the Conversations That Make a Difference Podcast, she amplifies voices that uplift, inspire, and create meaningful impact. Teresa created the Daily Gift Book Series, a collaborative collection that encourages gratitude, peace, friendship, hope, kindness, inspiration, joy, and more through everyday stories. She believes storytelling requires intention, patience, and trust, and she guides authors through that journey with care and encouragement. In her latest Daily Gift Book Series,“ A Daily Gift of Inspiration,” the sixth book in the series, released this month, Teresa features contributing authors who share their personal stories of inspiration and triumph to encourage readers on their life’ s journey. I am excited and honored to have Teresa share her personal inspirational story,“ Summertime Inspiration,” in our Hot Off The Stove section. had a dream since 4th grade to graduate as valedictorian when she finished high school. It might seem silly to a lot of people; however, she was determined, and since then, every homework assignment she completed or test she studied for in middle school and high school was done in the hopes of earning a 4.0 and being at the top of her class, the valedictorian. Today, besides accomplishing her dream, Jessyka founded Ace Cookie Tutoring to help students of all ages excel in their learning journey by offering them her 12 study skills that are personalized to their learning habits and personalities through her Love to Learn study skills program. When students discover“ How to Learn” at their own pace and understanding, this makes it easier for them and their parents. She works with tweens, teens, and college students to help them achieve their maximum learning potential. Since learning is part of our human DNA, I am sure we can all benefit from these study skills as adults. Jessyka returns to share a wonderful, interesting summer education tip about helping our children develop new learning skills while at home with us, using the simplest of tools, in her very engaging experiential story,“ Summer Study- Pencil Licking is Not Required,” in our Cultivating the Love for Learning section.
