    There isn't a whole lot to describe in here that Jess doesn't tackle in this episode. If you're along for the ride or emotions this one is a roller coaster. She'll make you laugh, cry and maybe scream over her spilled mylk but one thing she won't do is make you feel alone in your emotions. Latch on to this episode to hear Jessyka's unfiltered rant about her shitty week. She delves deep into her emotions with her mom's recent breast cancer diagnosis, shares a few spills on how her marriage is coming back together better than ever and gets real pissed off at the expectations people place on her as an Influencer, not an politician. If you've ever wondered how she truly feels about the world, how she navigates heavy emotions and how she continues to push through life with zero fucks for others who don't bring value to her life than this is the episode for you. If you're struggling right now with the weight of the world, your own problems or anything, this episode will make you feel enlightened that you are not the only one. Jess certainly doesn't handle her emotions the “right” way but she definitely has lots of them and has learned from her mistakes while also accepting who she is and who she isn't. Stay latched!

Sneezing and orgasms both produce feel-good chemicals called endorphins but the amount produced by a sneeze is far less than an orgasm and there is no cumulative effect with sneezing so no amount of sneezing is going to feel like an orgasm. The other thing that sneezing and orgasms have in common are that they are both involuntary reflexes. While sneezing is not really like an orgasm, sneezing can be brought on by sexual arousal in some people. This is believed to be as a result of crossed wires in the autonomic nervous system. The nose surprisingly also contains erectile tissue which may become engorged when someone is sexually aroused thus triggering a sneeze or two.

    Today's guest is one of Jessyka's favourite Instagram accounts to follow. Joseph Tito from @thedaddiaries.ca went from Jet Setter to Single Fatherhood to twin girls! His story is inspiring, uplifting and insightful with the most tactful touch of humour. Joseph's journey was filled with the unexpected and yet, here he is still standing, smiling and making it through one luxurious day at a time by being the best solo parent to the two luckiest girls who call him Dad. His journey to his girls had the whole world rooting for him, waiting on their phones to see if/when/how/who was going to bring them home from Kenya. Why? Because there is so much more work to do in the surrogacy world for single parents and the LGBTQ+ community. This is the story of how Joseph had to fake a marriage to a female, though he is openly gay here in Canada (which makes it harder for him to have a surrogate here) it was extremely dangerous for him to be openly gay in Kenya and the worst of it? Had they found out he was a single gay parent they wouldn't have let him leave with HIS babies. The world has a lot of work to do to get to a place of equality for ALL families.

    Jessyka interviews a guest who suffers from alcoholism. A tale of two differing personalities: sober and drunk are two totally different versions of this person. The latter is scary and dangerous, the former? Sweet and genuine. Alcohol has a way of numbing anxieties and past traumas but that numbing agent is an unhealthy way of coping with the demons that live inside the head of someone who struggles with alcoholism as the trauma presents itself in self hatred which causes very scary situations to occur. This episode is all about the situations this guest has been in due to their struggle with problematic drinking, the final straw to sobriety and a few slip ups along the way.

    This episode starts off with Jessyka & Cameron bantering through laughter about the photo evolution since the beginning of their friendship. You could say at one point it was at an “all time high”. Naturally Cam & Jess go into the main topic by discussing Jessyka's heterosexual dating history (from a very young age) comparing it to Cameron's closeted perspective. Cameron kind of always knew he was gay but the rest of his family and friends had no idea. This is his coming out story. Through laughter and lots of love for the ones closest to him Cameron recounts the stories of who he told first, the first reactions and first dating experiences. His story shows the dichotomy of confusion and acceptance. Even with a very accepting circle Cameron struggled to come out. His fears of what society would think of him over powered his ability to be true to himself. Once he realized it doesn't matter what “they” think he was able to accept himself and begin living a life he always dreamed of: out and proud.

    I started Milkstains & Meltdowns in 2017, a blog and influencer for new moms. I battled postpartum anxiety and in 2019 was diagnosed with OCD. Through these mental illnesses I found empowerment in sharing my story. From there I created a platform for others to share their mess, their meltdowns, their mental health issues and really learned to grow from my meltdowns rather than “live in them”. Now, 3 years in I've realized I'm more mess than meltdown AND I like my mess, my spilled mylk. We all need to spill every once in a while. I started Spilled Mylk to help others feel less alone in their “mylk”. Stay latched!
