In this episode, Jamie Kolnick peels back every layer.

As a mom of three, Jamie is constantly navigating her own growth and healing, shaped by profound loss after losing both of her parents and her brother. Many know her as the founder of the beloved children’s music brand Jam with Jamie. What you may not know is how much inner work she has done - and continues to do - to make sense of grief, belonging, and identity.

Rather than summarizing this conversation, I want to urge you to listen.

This is one of the most raw episodes yet. Jamie opens up about losing her brother at just 13 years old, how the attention and popularity surrounding that loss shaped her understanding of belonging, and how those early experiences still echo in her life today, as a parent, a partner, and a public figure on social media.

Through therapy, medication, deep reflection, and honest self-inquiry, Jamie has come into herself in ways that feel both brave and deeply relatable. She speaks candidly about couples therapy, learning her triggers, the lifelong work of feeling “enough,” and what it really means to live alongside loss rather than try to move past it.

Jamie also shares about spearheading Little Jam Fest, offering classes through Jam with Jamie, and her ongoing fundraising work with the Reach for the Stars Foundation.
