Meet Jess! Getting to know her through her role as a Gathering 2022, Wave of Light speaker, and now a friend has been a joy. She is generous with her heart and her wisdom and today's episode includes a multitude of both offerings. Peyton and Jess talk about the duplicity of grief, the concept of "bouncing forward" and the ability for loss moms to hold the tension of various emotions simultaneously. Dive into her story and find hope in your own healing journey!

More about Jess: Jessica Latshaw has a BFA in dance performance from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she also studied piano and voice extensively. She has performed musical theater on many stages, most notably, the Broadway tour of A Chorus Line. She has performed her own songs on cool stages, such as NYC’s The Blue Note Jazz Club, Boston’s City Winery, and the UK’s Sage Gateshead. Jessica is a worship leader at the Barn Vineyard Church in PA. She is also a podcaster, which she co-hosts with her husband TJ (The TJ and Jess Show) weekly, writes on her substack (jessicalatshaw.substack.com), and is currently in the final edits before releasing her first book—a memoir narrating losing and loving her son Luca. Home is loud and messy—mostly because of the three little girls she and TJ get to raise and not at all because she’d rather write music than fold laundry.
