In this episode of the Mom Owned and Operated podcast, Rita Suzanne and Jessica Kostrzewski discuss raising a family, running a business and remembering yourself.
Jessica Kostrzewski specializes in coaching moms on how to put themselves first. As a mother, wife, and another female walking this earth, she found that she was always putting herself last; last to eat, last to sleep, and last to have a self-care day. Jessica, like most moms, thought it came with the job. As a wife, she just wanted her husband to be happy, and as a woman, she found that society easily let her stand in the back row. No More!
At the beginning of motherhood, Jessica struggled with controlling her emotions, being fully present with herself and her children, juggling stress, and feeling burned out almost every night, and worse she was gaining weight and developing diseases.
Her cup was empty, and she felt hopeless like maybe she was a bad mom.
When Jessica's beautiful daughter hit her teens, she started struggling just as she was. She noticed her moods were low. She was not dealing with her stress in healthy ways and how could she?
She never taught her, heck Jessica was never taught how to have...
Self-Compassion, Self-Regulation, or Self-Care.
Learn how to fill your cup first so you can teach the next generation how to do it for themselves. One of the biggest lessons she learned as a coach is you can only bring your client as far as you have gone; what about parenting? Jessica found this also to be true.
You can find Jessica on her website, Instagram, Facebook and her Facebook Group.

Gabbie is a CPA with over 10 years’ experience helping clients achieve financial freedom. She also has a passion for teaching and has taught 3 courses her alma mater, UNH.
Gabbie is originally from NH and recently moved back to the area from Boston. She enjoys spending time in the seacoast outdoors with her husband, and 2 young daughters. She loves reading, golfing and crafting and is a big tennis fan.
Compassion takes empathy one step further because it harbors a desire for all people to be free from suffering, and it's imbued with a desire to help. Compassion is the approach Gabbie Kelly has been bringing to her clients.
It is tough to talk about business finances, and it is a vulnerable position to be in. For Gabbie, every operational decision you're making in your business is connected to the financial impact, so she brings compassion to finance discussions. We all have learned, made similar mistakes, and want to improve things.
She has seen the most significant challenges with start-ups and helped them overcome them by taking away the financial worry and stress and becoming more empowered by having an excellent foundational knowledge of what's going on with the business.
Having a financial plan is vast and carves out that piece that's always in the background looming. As a small business owner, or a mompreneur, with all these things on your plate, having somebody lift that off of you and carry that for you and with you step by step is super helpful.

In this episode of the Mom Owned and Operated podcast, Rita Suzanne and Missy Livingston discuss raising a family, running a business and remembering yourself.
When Missy lost everything in the 2008 recession, she almost lost all hope. She was broke, had 3 kids and had just moved again. One day, her youngest was running through the kitchen and playfully yanked on the dishtowel she had just hung up to dry on the oven, and it of course fell to the floor, which meant more laundry. She thought to herself "If I can't control anything else in my life, I'm going to control this F*&%ing towel!"
Remembering that Grandma used to make a hand towel that had a button to keep it on the oven door, she asked herself "why don't they make dishtowels I can actually use every day that stay put?" And, Voila!, the Hang Tight Towel® was born.
She began selling them at local farmers' markets and then eventually started selling them on Etsy, always having people return for more! Then in 2014, after a customer requested she make a towel with "red" fabric on it only to complain that it was the wrong "red" when she returned to buy it, Missy decided to take all of the red towels and print funny sayings on them with the F%*K word. She was worried that she might kill her business by doing this. It was a risk, but it made her chuckle every time to make one of these new kind of towels and she had to see if anyone else felt as she did. She put these new towels out for sale at the next event and they SOLD OUT! So, she began printing more funny sayings with her twisted sense of humor on the towels and the business really started to grow.
Twisted Wares now makes all kinds of products including cocktail napkins, stickers, cosmetic bags, along with kitchen and bathroom textiles and they all will make you chuckle. Plus, we're a stickler for quality and function. We like to say "We put the FUN in FUNCTIONAL"!
So, as losing everything has taught Missy, all you can do is laugh and not take yourself too seriously. We hope that our products are a reminder of that, whether you buy our products for yourself or give them as gifts, we want to make you smile.
You can find Missy on her website, on Instagram, and on Facebook.
