Where. To. Begin?!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The New Sports Brat<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s the end of an era but the start of something new and there’s nothing I love more than a fresh start. \u00a0I’m not sure how much you guys know but I started this thing back in 2008. \u00a0I say “thing” because I wasn’t sure what it would be but I had this idea and this desire to share content with the world.<\/p>\n

Since I was completely lacking in experience (both in work and in life) in 2008 it took me until 2013 to officially publish TheSportsBrat.com. \u00a0I remember the day vividly. \u00a0I was in Park City, UT visiting my boyfriend at the time (that didn’t last – see the fumbles tab). \u00a0Anyways, I was so nervous but I hit publish and my first post went live.<\/p>\n

Nothing happened really, except I got a little braver. \u00a0And with each post, each piece of content, each event, I did the same.<\/p>\n

In 2016, I was approached about doing a Podcast. \u00a0I’d always dreamed of having my own show so in August of 2016, I launched “The Sports Brat with Jess Ceresino.” \u00a0I’ve had amazing guests, some epic mishaps and the best memories so far. \u00a0I rebranded the show to “Just Jess” early in 2018 so that I could cover more topics.<\/p>\n

Why am I telling you this? Well its to get us to today. \u00a0Today is my LAST day. \u00a0I’ve had MANY last days at work but this one is the most bitter sweet. \u00a0The Sports Brat has been my baby, my first dream I made a reality, and my identity. \u00a0I am so proud of it and so proud of how much I’ve grown since this little idea started 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

As some of you may know I’m about to start a big new chapter as a wife…who would have ever thought that was going to happen?! (Again, see the fumble section.). And for the last few months I’ve felt uninspired, a bit burnt out and just ready for something new. \u00a0This blogger life looks real easy but there is so much work that goes into it and so much anxiety if you’re me. \u00a0Bottom line: I’m ready for a digital break. \u00a0And to take it even further, my love for sports has even changed. \u00a0I enjoy watching them from the couch or a bar instead of traveling around the country anymore.<\/p>\n

I guess people grow and with that, change.<\/p>\n

When I was thinking about shutting down the site it just didn’t feel right. \u00a0I am completely irrational and 100% impulsive so I did the opposite of what I wanted to do and I slept on it. \u00a0For weeks.<\/p>\n

Then, one day while scrolling on IG, it hit me. \u00a0What if I passed it on to someone else? \u00a0There are more and more female voices in the sports and game day space than ever, so , I thought, maybe someone will want to take this over.<\/p>\n

I reached out to one person. \u00a0I promise, just one person. \u00a0I had followed her for a while and we’d DM’d a bit but I did zero research and just went with my gut. \u00a0I slid into @thegamedaysylist’s DMs and asked if she wanted to take over TheSportsBrat.com and the social channels.<\/p>\n

I felt a little fear after I sent the message. \u00a0Was she going to think I was nuts? Would she even want it? Was I dumb for doing that?<\/p>\n

A little while later she responded with a sweet message that essentially said “I’m interested, let’s talk.”<\/p>\n

After talking for a while on the phone, I knew. \u00a0I knew with total certainty that this was the right choice. \u00a0It was kind of a sisterhood of the traveling blog. \u00a0She’ll take over and it will be the same topics but from her voice and her style. \u00a0I loved the idea.<\/p>\n

So last weekend Danielle came to Dallas and we threw a little retirement\/passing of the torch party at the Rangers game.<\/p>\n

OK friends. \u00a0This is it…well it for me. \u00a0I cannot wait for you to get to know Danielle. \u00a0She’s AMAZING and we have so many similarities I think you’ll get why this divine fate worked out the way it has. \u00a0Support her. \u00a0Love her. \u00a0Follow her. \u00a0You have been the freaking best buddies and I’m beyond grateful for the last 5 years. \u00a0Thank you for letting me grow and learn with you. \u00a0Here’s to Dani!
