July 16, 2025The Past is Present: Healing Childhood Wounds, EMDR & Parts Work Ft. Carly Costello
In this episode, I’m joined by West Virginia-based therapist Carly Costello, who specializes in helping people heal from childhood trauma using EMDR and parts work (IFS). Together, we explore how our unhealed childhood experiences show up in our parenting - and how healing is not only possible but powerful.

This is the episode for every mom who’s ever wondered: “Why did I react that way?” or “Why does this moment with my child feel so big?”

Hint: It’s not just the moment. It’s your past showing up in the present.

What to Expect:
Why parenting often triggers childhood wounds and what to do about it

What EMDR therapy is and how it helps moms heal (without having to relive the trauma)

A real-talk breakdown of "parts work" and how it helps you connect with your inner child

How healing your own stuff helps you feel more regulated as a parent

What trauma actually means (hint: it's not just about big events)

What to do if you had a "good" childhood but still feel stuck or reactive

Signs that your inner child may need care, attention, and healing

How Carly blends EMDR and parts work to support generational healing

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

What to Expect:
Ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Wait…who even am I right now?” You’re not alone - and this episode is for you. Today, I’m sitting down with Amy Bullington - fellow Omaha mama of four and founder of Ageless Skin Co. We’re talking about what happens when you lose yourself in

We dive into:
Amy's journey in healthcare to business owner and mom of four boys

The guilt and judgment moms feel around caring for themselves

June 18, 2025 Keeping Intimacy Alive After Baby
Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

What to Expect:
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Juline Mosser, a licensed sex therapist,
mom, business owner, and founder of The Omaha Wellness Collective. We dive deep into what happens to intimacy after baby - and how couples can reconnect when romance feels like a distant memory. Juline brings warmth, humor, and wisdom to a conversation that many of us have quietly wondered about but didn’t know how to start. We talk about sex after kids, the “roommate phase,” mental load, resentment, identity shifts, and why it’s so hard to feel sexy when you're totally touched out. Plus, she shares simple, practical ways couples can start to feel close again - even when life is chaotic. Whether you’re deep in early parenthood or just feeling disconnected, this one's for you.

June 04, 2025 Lessons from the Hardest Days of My Life
Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks!
Thank you for joining me for the first episode of Season 2. I’m so glad to have
you here. If you’re new, I’m Jessie - a wife, mama of two (ages 4 and 7),
mental health therapist, and your fellow millennial mom just trying to figure
it all out.

What to Expect:
In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey through the loss of both of my parents - my dad, who passed away in early 2020, and my mom, who I
lost in the summer of 2024. I talk about the complexities of grief, including
what it’s like to lose a parent while raising young kids, and the ways this journey has shaped my approach to motherhood and my work as a therapist. I also touch on the well-known Kübler-Ross stages of grief and why they’re often misunderstood. If you’ve ever felt untethered by grief or wondered how to show up for others walking that path, this one’s for you.

Episode Highlights:
·       Why I started this podcast during a time of intense grief
·       Reflecting on my dad’s sudden passing in 2020 and how his kindness and unconditional love shaped the way I parent
·       Honoring my mom’s journey, including her struggles with mental health and the resilience she showed in the face of those challenges
·       Why grief isn’t a problem to fix and why support matters more than solutions
·       The power of finding community in the midst of loss
·       Practical insights on holding space for others grieving and what I’ve learned along the way
