In this episode, I share my recent experience dealing with a clogged milk duct and the unexpected pain that came with it. I talk about the importance of recognizing that pain isn't normal, even when it becomes a part of everyday life as a new mom. From trying different remedies to learning the value of asking for help, I hope my story resonates with other moms facing similar challenges. Remember, you don't have to go through it alone—reach out, connect, and let's support each other through the journey of motherhood.

This week, we faced Korbin's first sickness, and it was heartbreaking to see him struggle without being able to express what was wrong. As a mom, it’s tough not knowing how to help, but we did everything we could—from late-night steam sessions to extra cuddles and natural remedies. I'm so grateful for the power of our bodies to heal, especially through breast milk. Despite the challenges, we're navigating this with love, gratitude, and the hope that he feels better soon.

In this episode, I share a vulnerable moment when I accidentally hurt my baby during a routine task, which left me feeling heartbroken and overwhelmed with guilt. I discuss the 90-second rule, a concept that teaches how quickly emotions can pass if we allow them to, and how my little one moved on long before I did. To help shift my mindset, I leaned into gratitude, a practice that has been essential throughout my motherhood journey. This episode is a reminder that it's okay to make mistakes and that self-compassion and gratitude can be powerful tools for healing and growth.

Hey, Calm and Colorful Mamas! In today's episode, we're diving deep into the concept of identity, especially as it relates to motherhood. I share my personal journey of navigating the balance between my mommy role and all the other important identities that make me who I am—Jessica, the business owner, girlfriend, daughter, and friend. Through a powerful coaching session, I had a major "aha" moment: understanding the difference between identity and roles. I'll discuss how embracing your whole, authentic self can allow you to be more than one thing at a time and how you can beautifully integrate your roles to fill your cup in multiple areas. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation on how you can honor and nurture all aspects of yourself without letting one role overshadow the others. What does your whole self look like? Let's explore that together.
