In this episode, Rebekah & Jennedy talk about their shared experiences as St. Louis natives. They address the challenges of motherhood and working full-time while also emphasizing the importance of connecting with other moms through St. Louis Mom. Both express gratitude for the support they've received from their villages, which has given them the confidence to reach out to other moms in the greater St. Louis area.

Jennedy Lombard grew up in West County, attended Mizzou, and now works as a full-time School Counselor. At home, her life moves along at a quick pace to a lovely soundtrack of music provided by her husband, Kyle, who is a classical musician and her two young sons. When time allows, Jennedy loves a project- whether it be tiling a bathroom, decorating, gardening, meal planning, learning to sew, or finding new and efficient ways to manage her household. Jennedy is hoping to figure out the magic formula of work, life, and self-care balance. She’ll be sure to write a blog for St. Louis Mom Collective when she does.
