As Founder of Bundle x Joy, a purpose-driven pet brand that focuses on allergy-friendly products, Jess Berger is on a mission to create a space where everyone is welcome. Jess recognized a need and bravely stepped out of her comfort zone to follow her passion after years in corporate America. In this episode, Jess shares her story of living her purpose, and how she’s helping others - two-legged and four-legged - do the same.


Named Pet Age's Women of Influence in 2021, Jess Berger is the fearless founder leading this purpose-driven, next generation brand. After 15 years in the pet industry working with some of the largest pet retailers and manufacturers, Jess found herself disillusioned with the lack of representation, inclusivity and alignment in leadership in the pet space.

As a first-generation American Latina, Jess asked herself what it would look like to create a pet company where women could come together and lean on each other to create a diverse network of purpose-driven partnerships to serve pet people today. She quickly left her corporate desk behind to pursue JOY and her purpose in entrepreneurship. Now, Jess is building the brand she wished existed, and personally crafting formulas she believes in to simplify pet nutrition and create more time for joy with our pups.

We’re sending you back to the beginning! As we get ready to expand on the work we’ve been doing for the last five years, we invite you to revisit how it all got started.

Debbie and Candice went a cumulative 30 years with undiagnosed symptoms that included everything from brain fog to joint pain and GI distress. Hear about the symptoms of alpha-gal syndrome and how they finally discovered the impetus of their misery was a tiny tick.

Peyton Owen and Natalie Nichols have several things in common. They’re both young adults. They both love the outdoors. And they’re both living with AGS AND with mothers who also have AGS. In this episode, our teen contributor Peyton chats with Debbie’s daughter Natalie on what it’s like having AGS in the family and how they’re both managing AGS in high school and college. These young gals speak to the challenges and the wins, and they offer great advice for the newly diagnosed. Their conversation is sure to brighten your day!

In this conversation, Mandy Irby, Founder and CEO of The Birth Nurse, shares how she shifted the focus of her career as a labor and delivery nurse to a patient-centered, trauma-informed approach. Not only is she fostering healthy relationships and birthing experiences for expectant parents and medical professionals, but she is applying her knowledge to her own life as she navigates alpha-gal syndrome. Mandy’s vulnerability inspired a validating conversation you won’t want to miss!
