Welcome back to another episode. I had the honor of sitting down with my mentor, and my boss Dean. I have known Dean for 8 years now. It's been one hell of a ride! I understand that most people don't share the same dynamic relationship that my boss and I share. I am grateful to know this man and his family. He shares a little of himself and his sobriety (34 years!) It was an honor to have him sit down with my husband and I for a conversation. Enjoy!!

This week on It's Jessica not Jennifer the podcast I have a guest that I admire a lot, Indira. She is actually married to my co worker but I feel like we have been friends forever. She is always such a pleasure. I had the privilege of being able to sit down with her and discuss anything and everything. She shared her journey with battling and overcoming Ovarian Cancer. Cancer took my mom from me so I hate cancer. Indira has handled her situation with grace and bravery. She is a wife, a mom, a full time student, and a total badass. This was a great conversation, I know you will enjoy.

Disclaimer: Audio on Jessica's Mic was off. 

Hey guys welcome back to another episode! I'm really sorry but I screwed up and didn't turn on Jessica's mic. I am still figuring out my soundboard. I promise I will get it together. This was such a great episode so I didn't want to not upload it but again the audio is not great. I hope you enjoy my voice, ha! 

We discuss most things motherhood, and still having an identity as a wife, sister, daughter, and friend. We read birthday advice given from 90 year olds. Some we agreed one and some was just weird. I had such a great time with my friend. I will definitely be bringing her back.

Today we discuss setting boundaries: healthy boundaries vs. not healthy boundaries. Are you selfish for prioritizing yourself over others? This is a super important episode. Mental health is a topic that is not discussed enough especially when it comes to men. Join the conversation and send me a DM @itsjessicanotjennifer

For this episode I wanted to discuss money and the different ways that we can use it to prepare for the future. Do you have life insurance? Do you have a retirement account? Do you have a cemetery space? I know I know these are all things we don't normally discuss with friends. Let's normalize talking about our finances and being prepared. Thank you, Eddie, for all the insightful tips! Please follow him on IG @eddiesarceno

I discuss the 5 stages of grief with my younger brother. We lost our mom on Jan 2, 2021 and it has not been easy for us. She was our best friend and in our eyes the #1 mom. Everyone that knew her loved her caring, thoughtful, and loving spirit. She always put God and her family first. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her. I miss her. This was not an easy episode to record but I hope that you enjoy it and that you can relate.

(EXPLICIT: CURSING) For this week's episode I was joined by my good friend Razz. Before he became a viral sensation I had the opportunity to sit down with him and take a trip down memory lane. Can you believe this guy didn't know who Art Laboe was! What a shame.

For my very first episode I had (3) three special guests: My husband Michael, and our good friends Brian and Stephanie. We discussed some topics that aren't usually brought up. Brian recently had a near death experience that has brought the family closer and has helped solidify the importance of their partnership/relationship. Michael and I were honored that they shared some time with us. I hope you enjoy!
