About Curated by McBride

Welcome to My Little Corner of Real Life

Hey, I’m Jessica McBride! You may know me from my work with Tech Savvy Assistant, but here at Curated by McBride, I’m stepping away from tech to explore a different side of life—the everyday moments, the small joys, and the real, imperfect things that make life fulfilling.

For a long time, my world revolved around productivity tools and AI. Don’t get me wrong—I still love a good system, but I started to feel the pull to talk about more than just tech. I missed the days when blogging felt personal, like you were just catching up with a friend over coffee. That’s what this space is for—a chance to connect on a deeper, more meaningful level.

At Curated by McBride, I’ll be sharing the things that make my everyday life a little brighter and more manageable. Expect posts about everything from what I’m reading, cooking, and listening to, to reflections on finding balance in the chaos. And yes, there will be air fryer recipes. Spoiler: I’m obsessed with making air fryer s’mores, and you might be too after trying them.

What You’ll Find Here:

This isn’t about the perfect Instagram life. It’s about real life—the messy, beautiful, sometimes exhausting moments that we all go through. Here’s what you can expect:

• Thoughtful Reflections: Personal essays and musings on navigating the everyday challenges of work, life, and everything in between.
• The Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T.: My roundup of what I’m currently Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing over, and Recommending. It’s a little window into what’s bringing me joy right now.
• Practical Tips: Whether it’s a simple recipe, a new hobby, or an organizing hack that’s actually doable, I’ll be sharing things that help make life just a bit easier.
• Creative Projects: I’m not an artist, but I’ve found joy in tiny paintings lately. I’ll share the little creative projects I’m working on, and maybe inspire you to try something new, too.

Why Curated by McBride?

I believe that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. There’s beauty in the simple, the imperfect, and the honest. Curated by McBride is all about sharing those moments—the things that might not make the highlight reel but are worth celebrating anyway.

Think of this as a space to slow down, take a breath, and enjoy the little things that make life enjoyable, even in the middle of all the chaos.

A Little About Me

I’m a writer, thought leader, and lover of cozy fall days. I’m also an unapologetic fan of simple pleasures—whether that’s a great book, a quiet morning with coffee, or finding the perfect podcast to wind down to.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me obsessing over my cat Gardenia, trying a new hobby, or researching recipes that don’t require too much effort. You know, real life stuff.
