Your "stay calm, Mom" host explains how this podcast was birthed during the pandemic and how inspired Jessica was to truly give resources to moms who struggled with this new transition.
Jessica is here to help all moms find connection, hope, and inspiration around juggling motherhood and life. Most moms, including successful ones, have all mentioned finding themselves lost and unsure of who they are after birthing their children. So "stay calm, mom" is here to bring you resources, experts, and healing around the topics of balance, calmness, peace, and self-love around all things required of being a woman and being a mom.
Jessica has gone on her own journey from a long term marriage to birthing her child and starting all over with a whole new life. Her struggles and changes were something she had to endure on her own and she doesn't want other moms to have to go through this alone.
