Meet Jessica Slice: author, disability activist, and mother. Society may call her Unfit, but she’s rewriting the narrative with power, vulnerability, and truth in her groundbreaking memoir Unfit Parent.

She’s been labeled. Doubted. Dismissed. But Jessica is here to share why the world’s assumptions about disability and motherhood are not just outdated, they're dangerous.

This episode is raw, unfiltered, and vital. Buckle up, Jessica Slice is not just defying the odds. She's redefining them.
