Hi, I'm Jace

Nice to meet you.
Let’s get stuck in.

I’m Jace Parker, author of Thrive in Chaos and founder of Thrive with Jace, an unfiltered blog and space for building real resilience when life gets messy. And no, I won’t be telling you to manifest your way out of burnout.

I’ve spent over 20 years working as a crime scene investigator. That means walking into the thick of it. Murder, Suicide, moments where people's lives have flipped in an instant. Real chaos. Real trauma. The kind of scenes that force you to face yourself fast.

That job didn’t just shape what I do. It shaped how I think, how I cope, and how I show up when everything around me is falling apart.

Over time, I realised most people have no real tools to deal with pressure. They’re surviving, just about, but without any solid ground beneath them. That’s where resilience comes in. Not as a buzzword. As a way of thinking, living, and moving forward.

For me, Stoicism put words to things I’d already been doing. It gave structure to the mindset I’d built through experience. Focus on what you can control. Let go of what you can’t. Face discomfort, but don’t let it own you. It’s not a philosophy for armchairs. It’s for people in the thick of it.

What I teach now is simple. No toxic positivity. No corporate manager speak. Just raw, honest tools for thinking clearer, feeling stronger, and staying steady when everything else tilts.

This is Thrive with Jace. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about building strength that holds when life hits hard.

If that’s what you’re after, you’re in the right place.
