Jessica is back...and a MOM!!!

Jessica shares how maternity leave as an entrepreneur looks very different from the traditional 9–5 world. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it actually means to step back from your business while navigating the "newborn bubble." From preparing your clients and setting boundaries to the guilt and mindset shifts that come with taking time off, we’ll dive into balancing business and motherhood.

Whether you’re currently expecting, planning ahead, or just curious about how entrepreneurs make it work, this conversation will give you a candid look at what maternity leave actually looked like for Jess.
