In today’s episode we are discussing the topic of Mamas in training. Our guest today is Jessica Lorion. Jessica has spent the past 10 years as a professional actor and voice over artist in New York City. Now, as the Host and Producer of the Mamas in Training Podcast, she supports pregnant women and aspiring moms on their journey into motherhood. 

What makes her show different from other pregnancy and motherhood podcasts is that she is NOT yet a mom. An autoimmune disease has delayed her journey into motherhood and she has decided to learn right alongside her audience.

With a background in performing on stage, in front of camera, as well as being a professional singer, her mission is to spread the importance of studying motherhood. She intends to use her voice and desire to connect with women everywhere, to share the lessons she has learned and give community to those in need.

In this episode we discuss: 

  • The reason Jessica is learning about motherhood before she is a mom
  • Becoming a parent can feel like drinking through a firehose as times
  • The main takeaways that Jessica has learned from interviewing new moms:
    • the importance of advocating for yourself
    • make a plan and be ready for it to change
    • the importance of setting up a community and support system for yourself
  • The words that we use is so important, especially when framing in terms of "absolutes"
