**This week's episode is a replay of my second ever released episode!**
I wanted to replay my International Women's Day episode from last March as I think it's one of the best & most important episodes ever!
In celebration of International Women's Day, Jessica dives into what makes women so awesome, some stories of amazing women through history, women in her life that are incredible, how we can empower ourselves and the women around us to be the best we can be and things women need to do better at.
Please note, the giveaway mentioned in the episode is NOT applicable anymore.
Join me in this weeks' episode where my guest, Kristin Cary, shares her journey of finding out she was pregnant and then 16 weeks into her pregnancy, discovering that her then-husband was addicted to pornography and had cheated on her.
I am so grateful that Kristin came on the show to share her story of betrayal, healing, growth and resilience. Kristin is a force but she had to go through and grow through so many different things to get to where she is today.
If this is something you have been through or are going through, you can always reach out to Kristin as she now works with women who have been going through/have gone through sexual betrayals of their own.
If you wish to connect with Kristin in regards to the episode or chat about these topics further, please feel free to reach out to her through her social media, website or listen to her podcast:

Join me in this weeks' episode where my guests, Sara and Misasha from the Dear White Women podcast, share their journeys of raising biracial children and the differences in raising white-presenting kids versus black-presenting kids.
Sara is a life coach and works in positive psychology and well-being. Sara is 1/2 Japanese 1/2 white and is raising 2 girls who present as white. Misasha is an attorney and is 1/2 Japanese and 1/2 white and is raising 2 boys who present as black.
I am so grateful that Sara Misahsa came on the show to open the dialogue on race, racism, raising biracial children, white privilege and more. This discussion is SO critical, regardless of what race(s) you and your children are. I know I learned so much through this episode and I'm hoping you can take a thing or two from it as well!

** Trigger Warning ** This episode discusses the topic of suicide.
Join me in this week's episode where my guest, Tessa Stuckey, shares her journey into motherhood, having 4 kids in less than 4 years, and what sparked her to write a book on our youth's mental health.
Tessa is a mom of 4 boys, a licensed therapist, author, wife and lives in Houston, Texas.
I am so grateful that Tessa shared her story and professional experience with us. Tessa opens the dialogue on the 6 cultural pressures affecting our youth today and how we, as parents, can help mitigate the effects of these. The 6 cultural pressures Tessa discusses are:
1. Suicide as a Glorified Option
2. Immediate Gratification
3. Lack of Personal Connections
4. Attention Seeking
5. Social Media
6. Pressure
This conversation is SO important as it's a reminder that we need to be thinking ahead and ensuring our current actions aren't going to negatively affect our children when they are older. It's also eye-opening to be reminded that suicide is a real aspect of our youths' lives but it is something that we can help prevent.

I am so grateful that Cayla shared her story with us. Cayla's story is one we should all take note of and reflect on to see if we have any biases or thoughts around people who opt not to get married or have children. It's important that we, as a society, are inclusive and value everyone, regardless of these two decisions!
