In this episode of Wellness Blueprints: Nourish Your Roots with Jess, I’m talking about the piece of wellness we often overlook: our emotional world.

Fear, guilt, shame, anxiety, old experiences, and emotional patterns can influence the way we move through life—and sometimes, we carry that baggage much longer than we realize. Especially during seasons like perimenopause, when everything can already feel amplified.

In this episode of Wellness Blueprints: Nourish Your Roots with Jess, I’m asking a question that has been on my mind: How did we get from food pyramids, low-fat diets, and years of diet culture to a world where so many women are turning to GLP-1 medications just to feel comfortable in their bodies again?

Motherhood is beautiful, messy, exhausting, hilarious, and deeply human. In this episode, I sent a heartfelt Mother’s Day message to the moms who feel invisible, overwhelmed, touched out, behind, guilty, tired, or just plain done.
