In this episode, I had a candid conversation with Jessica Reed Kraus, founder of House in Habit. We explored her journey from stay-at-home mom to successful independent journalist covering pop culture, lifestyle, and politics. Jessica shared how her storytelling passion led to her blog, House Inhabit, and her transition to covering high-profile trials and political events. We discussed her unique storytelling approach, experiences on the campaign trail, and interactions with figures like Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Despite facing criticism, Jessica's dedication to honest coverage and seeing humanity in every story resonated with her audience. We also delved into her family, children's involvement in her work, and unwavering commitment to her craft. Jessica's insights into the political landscape, experiences at events like Mar-a-Lago, and observations of figures like Trump and RFK Jr offer a fascinating glimpse into media that is supported by the people- none of this would be possible without her loyal Substack subscribers. Overall, Jessica's passion, perspective on current events, and commitment to truth make her a compelling voice in the media landscape forcing us to expand our perspective and ask us to look beyond what we’ve been told to think by the mainstream.
