In this episode JessB gets really honest and uncomfortable as she admits that, while she loves her children with all her heart, she is often conflicted with the need to create and 'do her own thing' which means her children have to fend for themselves sometimes! JessK gets equally uncomfortable as she examines her mothering style and the two Jess(es) dive in deep on the theory of 'The Good Enough Mother' by Dr. D.W. Winicott, British pediatrician and psychoanalyst. Together, they approach an incredibly challenging  and often sensitive topic and in their totally authentic style, examine their tendencies toward perfection and the need for control as real causes of the 'mental load.'

In this first episode of WeSTAT, The Two Jess(es) share their story of a writer's blind date, how the concept of We Should Talk About That came to be as a result of that date, and why they believe in the crucial importance of living an open and honest life with ourselves, and each other.

This is an introduction, an explanation and an invitation to the conversations about all the things no-one is talking about but should. As they touch on the subjects of grief, connection, the power in putting yourself out there, and the wild ride of collaboration and service to each other, their authenticity will make you laugh with discomfort, sigh in commiseration, and nod your head in agreement for all the right reasons.
