✨ Oh! Hello, and Welcome
✍🏼 A Part of Me, and Creating Oak & Bower
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here!! My name is Jae, and I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I’m a twenty-seven year old Filipino-American, a wife, a shiba-inu doge mum, and an aspiring creative. I love animals, singing, dancing, baking, and all things cozy—I may be the most reserved, and quiet one in my family, but I have the loudest laugh…and they can attest to that, haha. 🫣💕
At the end of the year 2019, I struggled with severe depression and crippling anxiety that brought me incredibly low in my life - but also, lead me to change my life forever. After that experience, the need to share my story became more vital. I came to realize that God wants me to trust in the gifts He has given me and most importantly, to trust in Him.
It is a constant effort to keep learning, and remembering over and over again that I was never working alone. In time, Oak & Bower was born.
📬 Inside Oak & Bower
Oak & Bower is a newsletter about seeking hope and holiness in Jesus Christ as a Latter-day Saint. I write about reflections on performance anxiety, divine healing, creative callings, and restoring confidence through our relationship with God.
What it means to me—
Oak—I’ve always loved acorns (yes! my beloved logo!); so I like to say that an acorn is a symbol of our new beginnings, of letting ourselves receive and experience God’s love; in hopes that we can be more like Him, like an oak tree, one season at a time
& Bower—the pleasant shade under the oak tree; where I imagine you and I would gather in holy intentions, where we can come closer to Jesus Christ, together in hope-filled delight and increasing holiness
Most of my content will involve the gospel and doctrine of Jesus Christ from The Book of Mormon, the Bible (KJV), wholesome resources from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and more! If you’re curious and want to learn more about my faith, come join us here🙏🏼—you are more than welcome to reach out and ask questions! My hope is that we can make great efforts to keep ourselves mindful, respectful and kind to each other in this special space.
Expect to receive carefully curated, weekly-ish love letters from me; sent in rhythms that can change based on personal seasons I’m in 🫶🏼✨
