Check-ins with Jess

Going through a faith crisis was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. I didn't know who I was anymore, I questioned everything, I didn't know what I believed anymore, I felt angry, confused, and defeated. They were the longest 4 months of my life. By sharing my experience I hope it lets others know they aren't alone if they have gone through this as well. I hope it also helps someone who will go through a faith crisis in the future. My hope is that we can just come together as humans by listening to each other, learning, and trying to make the world a better place whether we have left a religion, stay, join another, or if organized religion isn't for you. We all struggle and we need each other as we navigate life and need to see past our differences. I can't wait for you to tune in and I hope you leave with some good takeaways. Always feel free to DM me on Instagram or email me at jessicaajemanphotography@gmail.com if you need to confide in someone or want to ask me questions. At the end of the episode there is 5 minutes of calming music for you to mediate and practice stillness. Find a quiet place, and give yourself grace as you let your thoughts come and go during that time. Thank you for tuning in and I'm SO grateful for your support and cannot wait to be your hype girl and cheerleader on this new journey of self discovery and fulfillment!

***Trigger warning- ED*** I promised a few months ago I would deep dive into my binge eating disorder and after putting off recording it for so long, I finally did it.  This was a hard episode to record. Nobody wants to admit the fact that food has control over them and inhibits their daily lives. It's such a vulnerable thing and I hope by sharing my story it'll help at least one person struggling with an eating disorder to get help.  I also hope this episode just helps open up the conversation around how common it is to not have a healthy relationship with food. Always remember my DMs are open if you want to continue the conversation or confide in someone with your struggle. You do NOT have to go through this alone.  At the end of the episode here is 5 minutes of calming music for you to mediate and practice stillness after listening.

I am SO excited to have my husband on the podcast for the first time and I can't wait for you to tune in! We cover lots of topics of what it's really like to be an Autism parent including the good, bad, challenges, and setbacks. Sean shares his perspective on what it was like grieving the diagnosis of our son getting diagnosed 4 years ago and how he personally handled it. I love hearing his thoughts on how Autism has effected him as a dad and having to change everything he expected or knew. I hope this episode helps not only Autism parents & parents with children with disabilities but especially dads where emotions, mental health, and struggles aren't talked about or addressed as much as they need to be in society. I cannot WAIT for you to tune in and would love to hear your thoughts on what resonated most with you!
