I have a love/hate relationship with the summer because of how fast it goes by... Where did May even go anyway? In this episode I'm covering what's been eating up my time in the blink of an eye... Potty training, Disneyland, homeschooling... Th
Welcome to this episode all about what I got out of my time in personal therapy over the last year. It's taken me a while to gather all my thoughts and select what I feel like were the most significant lessons I learned. I also share my most re
This week I recount my adventures from the last few weeks. Life never seems to slow down... sometimes we have to intentionally choose to slow down so that we can reflect on what we've learned and how we feel. Then we can focus on what's most im
Today I'm joined by my husband, Nick, to talk all about his experience having ADHD. (Hence the many chair noises you'll hear in this episode!) We talk about coping skills, the struggles, and what we see as the benefits to thinking differently. 
*Content warning- brief use of the word "abuse". Have you ever heard someone say something like "You don't say no to your parents!" Is that really a good principle to teach our kids? How much more important is it that they learn that they ca
It's ironic how I've done this episode on motivation and yet I felt so unmotivated to finish editing and publish it. I have struggled with motivation at many different times and it's a topic I've discussed many times over the last year in thera
Happy New Year everyone! It has been... quite the ending to the year. In this episode, I tell a few stories from the past couple of weeks (including the reason behind my unplanned holiday break!) and also talk about why I don't really make or
There's such a stark difference (for me anyway!) between dating when I was younger and dating in a long term relationship/marriage. Then throw kids into the mix and it can be so difficult to figure out how to keep your romantic relationship ali
This week I'm discussing my opinion on the popular phrase "Money doesn't buy happiness." From being on food stamps to actually having some money to put aside in savings, I've experienced a lot and I've noticed a big difference in my mental, emo
This is Year Two for me on my decluttering journey. I've learned a lot (and there's a lot I'm still learning), but it's been a rewarding venture. In this episode I go through some of my successes, the parts that have been hard, and my process f
This is my absolute favorite Christmas tradition that only began two years ago, during a really difficult time. It was such a wonderful way for us to focus on the good things we had experienced and what matters the most to us during this specia
Life gets busy, especially at this time of year. What's one of the first things to be trashed from the schedule when we're busy? Rest. Or maybe we think we have to "earn" our rest by being busy. But you know what that leads to? Burnout. Let's t
Video games are for the boys... right? Wrong. They're for everyone! Unfortunately that's not the opinion I come across a majority of the time. Just the other day another mom said "I just don't get it!". I'm here to give a little insight on my o
I recently got to see The Eras Tour film in theaters... and it was AMAZING. Being an old Taylor Swift fan (from her early days), but not being as familiar with her newer albums, I thought maybe I'd missed the Swiftie train. But Taylor really kn
Having a husband who has ADHD, I felt like I had to take a crash course on it... and it was a little bumpy at first. Luckily with a little perseverance, hard work, learning, and a lot of patience (from both of us), we've been able to make the j
I've had migraines as long as I can remember. In today's episode I go over what that looks like for me and even share a couple of stories- including my worst date ever- that included a migraine. We all have things that keep us down from time to
How can something so amazing also be so incredibly difficult? In Part 2 of my first pregnancy and postpartum journey, I share all about the craziness that ensued after delivery, including my daughter's need for surgery. Music: "Summer Walk"
I could've never guessed what my first pregnancy had in store. It was an uphill battle until the very end. If you're currently pregnant, this may not be the episode for you. (Good vibes and happy thoughts to you.) But for those of you who have
Does "Therapy isn't for me" sound familiar? I felt that way, too. At least until I finally found the right therapy for me and was able to work through my problems in a productive way. In this episode I tell all about my journey with therapy tha
Most of us have at least one bad apartment or renting story... here's the one about the first apartment my husband and I had together. At the time it really sucked, but looking back on it now we get some good laughs. I can't wait to tell these
I wouldn't consider myself "lucky" in most areas of my life (except for maybe when I play games), but this is one area in particular where I'm unbelievably unlucky.   In fact, as I was editing this episode, I sent my husband out to pick up f
Join me, your host Jess, as I venture into the world of podcasting. Here's a snippet about me, why I got started, and what's to come. It's a little about everything- marriage, motherhood, and other life experiences, and what I've learned along
