Embracing Life's Many Roles: Dr. Jesse Berry's Motherhood Story

Embracing Life's Many Roles: Dr. Jesse Berry's Motherhood Story

In a world where balancing career and family can feel like walking a tightrope, Dr. Jesse stands tall as a beacon of inspiration. As a devoted mother, dedicated eye cancer surgeon, and passionate advocate, her journey is a testament to resilience, compassion, and unwavering determination.

Meet Jesse and her two little girls! 

From Healing Hands to a Loving Heart:
Jesse's path to becoming a doctor was illuminated by both personal struggles and profound gratitude. "I grew up in a much different home situation than the one my daughters are blessed to have," she reflects. "I remember even as a young child being in awe of how someone can use their hands to ‘fix’ another person." This admiration for the healing profession, coupled with her own experiences, fueled her determination to pursue medicine. "I knew then that I wanted to be a doctor and a surgeon, and to dedicate my life to making the world a better place for kids – regardless of their familial financial situation."


Balancing Acts:
Navigating the intricate dance between a demanding career and the joys of motherhood hasn't been without its challenges. Jesse candidly shares her journey of setting boundaries, saying, "Honestly, there is a lot of hard (also a lot of good) but in my career I could work every single second of the day." Yet, amidst the chaos, she finds solace in knowing that her daughters witness firsthand the power of passion and love in both her professional and personal life.

The Gift of Motherhood:
"For me, the best part is hands down hearing Daphne tell people she wants to be an ophthalmologist like her mommy," Jesse says with a proud smile. Through the eyes of her daughters, she rediscovers the world with a renewed sense of wonder and purpose, embracing the profound impact of her role as both a mother and a  healer.

🧁 She's too sweet!! 🧁

Lessons for Life:
As her daughters journey through life, Jesse hopes to instill in them the values of kindness, empathy, and limitless possibility. "They have so many choices and options – it's a beautiful thing," she beams. Encouraging them to embrace their unique paths, she knows that their choices hold the power to shape a brighter, more compassionate world.

A Partnership of Support:
Behind every successful woman is a supportive partner, and Jesse is no exception. With her husband by her side, she navigates the complexities of career and family with grace and resilience, fostering a partnership built on communication, understanding, and unwavering support.

Looking Ahead with Joy:
"As someone who is very goal-oriented, I always have something on the horizon," Jesse shares. "But the season of life speaks well more about how all the many hats I wear and the many aspects of who I am come together." Finding joy in the simple moments of togetherness, adventure, and self-discovery, she cherishes the journey and the endless possibilities it holds.

A Heartfelt Thank You:
To Jesse, EleStory isn't just about dresses; it's about capturing the essence of motherhood, celebrating milestones, and creating cherished memories. "I am so glad to have found you and to have you be a part of my Motherhood (and the girls’ Childhood) journeys!" she expresses with gratitude. As she continues to weave EleStory into the fabric of her family's story, she looks forward to the moments of joy and connection that lie ahead.


In Jesse's journey, we find a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of love, and the unwavering commitment to making a difference—one day, one surgery, one precious moment at a time.

Thank you again, Jesse, for allowing us to share your motherhood story. We have loved getting to know more about you and see your little girls grow!
