In this episode of The Extension Connection Podcast, Jessica Jackson talks about the importance of health and wellness for youth and families. As spring brings a season of fresh beginnings, Jessica reflects on how life changes over time and how caring for our mental, emotional, and physical health remains important in every stage of life. She shares personal stories about managing stress, the routines that help keep her grounded as a parent, and simple ways anyone—whether a student or a busy parent—can make time for their well-being. The episode also explores how 4-H programs support youth mental health by building confidence, relationships, and life skills that help young people thrive in their clubs, communities, and beyond.
