What would you do if your car broke down with your baby in the backseat? If that thought makes you panic, you're not alone. This week we talk to Jackie Dempsey, a mechanic, mom, and founder of the nonprofit Mechanic Mamma, where she teaches car maintenance and roadside emergency skills to women, children, and families.
Jackie shares her mission to empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to handle a breakdown plus we'll explore common car emergencies parents face and learn exactly what you should have with you to get back on the road quickly and safely.
