Being a mom often feels like juggling a million tasks at once—organizing schedules, managing appointments, handling school activities, shopping for groceries, and keeping track of everything in between. The mental load can be overwhelming, and many of us end up feeling frazzled, forgetting important things, and running on empty. But what if there was a way to make family life easier, reduce stress, and reclaim your time?

We welcome our first guest of 2025, Jessica Etting. Jessica is the co-founder and CEO of Jam, the new all-in-one shared family calendar app designed to combat mental load and make modern family life easier and more equitable. As a working mom, Jessica felt firsthand the burden of the mental load and wanted to create a space where family logistics and information could live for the whole family to see and engage with as a team, as well as automations that make life simpler for everyone.
