Those that know me personally know I can be a bit of a softie, especially when it comes to my family, achievements, feeling proud, etc.
So when my sister Jessica asked me to introduce her at her book launch party in New York City last Thursday, I knew I was in trouble. š
Watch what happened next, see the star of the evening shine, and get ready to laugh at some hysterical pictures.
The best part of the book launch party was probably the photo booth! See why below. š
Donāt let Jessicaās face fool you. Sheās just as crazy as us.

SHAPE.com Wellness expert Heidi Kristoffer and “The Earth Diet” Author Leiana Werner-Gray are excited about the new book!
Some people couldnāt wait to start reading!
One of these 6 people is not an Ortner. I know, itās a hard guess. āŗ Thatās New York Times Best Selling Author Dr. Mark Hyman joining in on the fun!

Jessica,
Best wishes on your book…you had the courage to move beyond your fears and doubts in order to bring your truth into the world. I believe it is part of your destiny, your gift to the betterment of this struggling planet. So be proud of yourself, you are an awesome young woman…the world is far richer because you are here.
Also, what an incredible family the Ortners are! It was so nice to be part of your celebration via video. May the gifts and love and joy of the Ortner family continue on for many years to come!
Namaste,
Teri
Nice to see all the family’s natural responses and emotions. Well done!
Jessica, I loved your speech!! I have your book which I already started reading and tapping too. I love it!! I am so glad you shared your story with all of us!
I also have your book Nick and I am reading that as well and tapping.
Sometimes I feel like you guys are speaking to me and I think, “How do they know?” It’s amazing!! Thank you!
The other day one of my sons saw me tapping and as one of my other sons was approaching, I hear my first son say, “I think mom is crazy” And I just cracked up in the middle of my tapping. I though it was so hilarious! I can only imagine what I looked like!! hahahaha
Anyway, thank you guys so much!! I love you!!
Veronica
Awesomeness indeed! And Tapping has saved my life as a teacher!
How can I ever thank you? Sending a huge hug! Feel it? Thank you!
Once more I am convinced that you speak directly from your heart… never stop shining Jessica! I wish you – and all your family – all the best!
Jessica, your time is NOW… Enjoy.
Congratulations Jessica! Thanks to all the Ortner family for all you’ve contributed to the world – God bless you all! Lots of love & gratitude!

Mark Hyman… impressive.. I have read his books… afraid to eat normal food now… but I do feel I am aging better than a lot of the people in my group. Love the passion statement. Sincerity is such an attractive quality.. my best to you Jessica.. wish you MUCH success
What a lovely event- obviously a good time was had by all.It was wonderful to see you with your family, too. You are a rising star, Jessica, in your own right. Enjoy the journey, and thanks for letting me in on the ride.

of Tapping Solution, and i am very thankful for this AMAZING work you are doing, bringing Clarity, Awareness,Healing, Fun, Love and Inspiration to thousands of People. I LOVE you ORTNERs !
How fun was that! Jessica, congratulations and you look fabulous. Your mom is beautiful! What a wonderful family who has so clearly supported all of you. That was really touching to watch.
I LOVE your book and the wonderful meditations! You are such a beautiful shining star and have given me a whole new way to look at a life long challenge! Blessings!
Jessica you are so incredible and REAL. I feel so sad that you had to spend one second thinking bad about yourself but so incrediably happy that you have come to love and see yourself the way you should have all along. You have an amazing personality and never allow as I am sure you won’t anyone to change it. We are all unique, and we have no replica, Live your amazing unique life to the full. Thank you so much for your inspirationl book. All the best.
I must be an honorary Ortner as this video made me cry! I’m in chapter 8 of Jessica’s book and am so blessed! Almost like she has “read my mail” she wrote with such authority and compassion! Thank you for tapping your way through this process Jessica because you are changing my life with your book and transparency! I’m overjoyed at how you shine and it really does give me inspiration and ” permission” to shine also! Most grateful, Pam Campbell
Congratulations Jessica. I have seen you inspire and grow with this tapping work over the years. You have a great message of how to be who you are at your ideal weight or not. Too many people waste precious time fighting pounds that they don’t want to wear.
I will add that when you commit yourself to a healthful plant-based and raw diet you no longer have to go from diet to diet. It is the best one I have found works great for me.
All my best to you in your success of sharing your message. -Rhonda
Loved it. I’m recovering from eye surgery and needed a good laugh.
Congratulations Jess!
Your book is amazing and SO needed out here in the world.
Many lives will change because you had the courage and stamina to take on this huge project.
Much love to you and all the Ortners!
Ingrid
I have listened to both of you for years…TTWS, purchased Nick’s book and now Jessica’s book and I must say I LOVE YOU BOTH! Can’t wait to start my body confidence journey and find myself. You all are truly inspirational. Keep up the good work.
congratulations! you have such a wonderful family !! so lucky !!

I’m so glad to see Jessica coming into the foreground; taking her rightful place; and saying she’s proud. It’s more than time and I’m really happy for her. And bless her huge heart.
Ahh, so beautiful. Lovely to see your whole family and have a small window into a really warm, funny evening. Congratulations Jessica…you are so deserving of how well this book has been received.
Such a beautiful and genuine speech! Congratulations Jessica!
Congratulations Jessica and the whole Ortner family. Jessica, I have been following you since last year when I started your tapping program. I am so happy for you, and I feel so privileged to have been on this journey with you.

Thank you for sharing this with us. Your voices are in my head every day for weeks. It was lovely to see you interact together. The pitcure booth photos are great fun. Congrats Jess on the book. My daughter has an eating disorder. I think same base issues just different outcome. Have you though about a book for tapping for better health or something for them?
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful, heartwarming and inspirational! I feel blessed to have you guys in my life. You have taught me so much and it feels so exciting to know that there is so much more to discover through tapping! Feeling very grateful! Sending all of you a big hug!

I’m a big softie too so watching the closeness of Ortner family celebrating Jessica’s joyful success (their shared success), would have made tearful anyway with or without any speeches. Congratulations sweet Jessica!
Congratulations Jessica you are one amazing lady you will go far in this world with your brothers, may The Lord bless you all every day.

I now feel confident enough to help my friends and members of my voluntary work with learning disibility and mental health the tapping is starting to change there life around.
