In this episode I'm joined by Jessica Tomich Sorci, LMFT - a Level 3 Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional, and the creator of “Mom Parts.” Jessica brings decades of experience in maternal mental health and introduces us to the profound concept of parts work within the context of motherhood. We explore how IFS offers a radically compassionate lens through which to understand maternal distress, not as pathology, but as a protective and adaptive system. Jessica shares how her own postpartum years “blasted apart her psychological infrastructure,” and how discovering IFS brought the structure and depth she needed, both personally and professionally. We talk about her groundbreaking book When Good Moms Feel Bad (forthcoming in 2026 from Hachette Balance), which helps mothers reconnect with their inner wisdom through compassion, creativity, and curiosity. From rage and reactivity to grief, shame, and intergenerational wounds, this conversation holds space for the full range of the emotional experiences of mothers. Connect with Jessica:

Today I'm going a little old-school. Back in my first podcast, Ready Get Centered Go, I used to share the dharma talks that opened my public yoga classes. Today, I'm bringing that back with a heartfelt message about fear, confusion, and how we can respond with presence, hope, and purposeful action.You'll hear a real intro from one of my Online Yoga Membership (OYM) classes called “Planting Seeds of Hope.” I created this class in response to the unsettling energy in the air—politically, socially, and energetically.

Today I'm sharing what I've been uncovering about how to craft a strong, clear, and effective intention—one that your whole system understands and responds to. It's not just about setting a goal; it's about shaping your identity.

Then, I'll show you how to shape that message into a potent sankalpa—succinct, present, and bold.If you've ever felt like your intentions get lost in the noise or don't quite take root, this episode is for you.

This episode is all about reshaping waste management in our lives and our communities, with a focus on changing the disposable culture we live in into one where reuse is the standard. Get ready to take some notes! Multi-faceted global CEO & Entrepreneur Jessica Gonzalez, joins us. She has a long history of building and scaling international startups from the ground up, most recently bringing her entrepreneurial spirit and expertise into the world of sustainable waste management as Founder and CEO of Happen Ventures. At Happen Ventures, she's championing the cause of beneficial reuse, transforming waste into valuable resources, innovating cost-effective and eco-friendly solutions, and reducing landfill waste all while supporting local communities.  The time has come for action – for all of us to put our money where our mouth is. I don't mean every single one of us going to zero waste – that's perfection and as we know, perfection is an unattainable goal. But if all of us reused imperfectly, reduced even minimally, and recycled intentionally – we would ALL be better for it. And, as most things do, they start with YOU, and me, and us.

In this episode, Lisa and Jessica discuss:The three types of college support services for neurodiverse students.Recognizing what support services your student used in high school including invisible supports they may need to be successful.How to assess the quality of disability services at colleges.Preparing your neurodiverse teen for independence and self-advocacy.Key Takeaways: Learning differences, from dyscalculia to autism to ADHD and so many more, are on a wide spectrum, and each student has different needs. You will want to identify what was most important for your student's success. The invisible support structures are those not on an IEP. They may look like medication support, parent monitoring of school work, or even waking your student in the morning.It is a team approach to support your student in high school with written and invisible structures. It should also be a team approach to understanding what is key to your student's success going into college.By ADA regulations, all colleges that receive federal financial aid must provide basic support. But if your student needs more coordinated or structured support, you will want to seek that out during the college search process.The admissions office does not speak with the accessibility office - you and your student should speak to those support offices directly. “You have to understand that that IEP does not go to college, so it will not look the same. High schools have to ensure success. Colleges only have to ensure access.” – Jessica NelsonAbout Jessica Nelson: Although Jessica didn't initially set out to work in college admissions after earning her B.A. in Speech Communications from Miami University (OH) and M.A. in Interpersonal Communication from the University of Iowa, a temporary position as an admissions counselor at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL, turned into a career spanning over 16 years in college admissions and college counseling, including a stint as an application reader at Georgia Tech.Over the years, Jessica has become a trusted expert working with students with learning differences and helping them find colleges where they can thrive. Jessica is currently a college counselor with Collegewise, one of the largest private counseling companies in the United States. Collegewise's 70 admissions experts help students identify the best possible school they can flourish in while also bringing a sense of calm and joy to the college application process. When not working with students, Jessica lives in southern Vermont with her spouse, two kids, two cats, and a flock of backyard chickens.Episode References:Resource Library: https://collegewise.com/resources Wiser Notes: The Collegewise Blog: https://go.collegewise.com/ Upcoming Collegewise Webinars & Seminars: https://collegewise.com/seminars #47 The Neurodivergent College-Bound Journey with Eric EndlichGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Jessica:Website: collegewise.com/ Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

As business owners, we constantly face opportunities to evolve, pivot, and even step back to move forward. It's about listening to your gut, making strategic changes, and sometimes taking financial steps back to leap forward eventually. What makes this week's conversation stand out is Jessica Sorentino's blend of entrepreneurial wisdom and personal branding insights.  Whether you're an author, a small business owner, or just passionate about personal branding, there's plenty to learn from Jess's experiences. Jess offers practical advice for anyone looking to build a personal brand on social media: Focus on Storytelling: Developing a storyline beyond your expertise is crucial. Show your audience that you're a real person, not just a professional. This emotional connection can foster relationships and drive your brand. Authenticity in Social Media: Aim to make your social media interactions one-to-one rather than one-to-many. Picture speaking directly to your dream follower and post content that fosters genuine connections. Content Pillars: Define content pillars or categories. Jess recommends balancing value-added posts and occasional sales posts. Four of every five posts should be community-building, and one can be sales-oriented. Journaling Exercise: To uncover your unique brand story, Jess suggests journaling your daily activities for a week, highlighting recurring themes. This practice can reveal aspects of your life and business that resonate with your audience. Are you ready to take your personal brand to the next level? Reflect on Jess's advice, connect with your true story, and watch your business expand.

Jessica defines what executive functioning is and describes how executive functioning challenges may present, as well as challenges that individuals with executive dysfunction may face. Jessica then goes on to discuss how anxiety, depression, and trauma can impact executive dysfunction. Further, Jessica discusses strategies for strengthening executive functions and how teachers, parents, partners, and other loved ones support someone who is struggling with their executive functioning.

Jessica Fontana admits that her need to feel like she's in control impacts her journey in balancing her professional and personal life. Her passion for performing arts began with ballet, which eventually set the stage for her career in musical theater. While Jessica's mom highly supported her artistic endeavors, her father initially wasn't. She talks about her college experience at the University of Michigan and its role in shaping her career and changing her dad's mind. Married to fellow actor, Santino Fontana, she recalls how they met at Birdland Jazz Club, recounting how he left before they could get a drink together, only to friend her on Facebook later that night, slipping into her DMs. Jessica explained her shift from performing regularly to creating her album, "Every Day Special" – a transition that allowed her more control over her creative work and schedule, reflecting her desire for creative autonomy and finding joy and fun in whatever she does. Jessica Fontana is an actress, and the writer, host, co-creator, and co-executive producer of “Everyday Special”, an improvised satirical podcast. She has starred on Broadway in the title role of Rodgers and Hammerstein's “Cinderella”, “Baby It's You”, and “Pipe Dream” in New York City Center's Encores! Series. She's been seen in the hit web series “Submissions Only”, and has starred in the world premiere productions at regional theaters, including the Goodspeed Opera House, Paper Mill Playhouse, Signature Theater, and Carnegie Hall. Also a songwriter, she recently released her solo debut album, “Every Day Special”.

In today's episode, I get to sit down with my new friend, Jessica Hurlbut, author of Unlimited Motherhood. We explore her profound journey of faith, motherhood, and resilience. Jessica opens up about her experiences raising two children with autism, her battles with anger and doubt, and how her faith has grown through these challenges. From witnessing a miraculous healing at camp to preventing her future husband's suicide with a timely message, Jessica shares how listening to God's voice and obeying His guidance has shaped her life in extraordinary ways. Join us as we dive into her story of dependency on God and finding purpose in unexpected circumstances. Bio: Jessica Hurlbut is a pastor, a writer, an ultra runner, and a mom of five—two who struggle with autism, two adopted, and one typical teen boy. She spent nine years in the trenches of full-time ministry until 2012 when her daughter was diagnosed with level three autism. Four years later, Jessica's son was also diagnosed with severe autism. She refers to this season as her hidden years, where God did a great and humbling work in her life. During this time, the Holy Spirit called Jessica and her husband to adopt a sibling pair through foster care, and God opened their eyes to the great need for foster and adoptive parents in this country. This led Jessica to attempt to run 110 miles in 24 hours on National Adoption Day as a visual representation of the 110,000 kids in foster care who desperately need a forever family through adoption. Jesus whispered to Jessica's heart, “If you take care of my kids, I'll take care of yours.” Anchor Verse: Ephesians 3:20 Hebrews 11:6 Connect with Jessica: Website: https://www.jessicahurlbut.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/jessicahurlbut  FB: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.hurlbut.3  ***We love hearing from our listeners!

Today's episode is the second of this month-long series about infertility awareness.   I'm thrilled to have Jessica Sorensen, a reproductive and perinatal therapist, joining us to delve into the mental health aspect of this journey. Jessica, having endometriosis herself, brings firsthand insight into what this journey entails. Both Jessica and I strongly believe in taking care of our whole selves through mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, you'll hear:-How infertility can be physically and emotionally taxing for women as they navigate challenges like grief, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, managing endometriosis, and questions of identity and self-worth.   -That it is so easy to overlook your mental health during this journey because you're always given the next steps immediately, leaving little time to process and grieve what you've been through.-Reproductive trauma includes any distressing event related to infertility, pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experiences.-When you're experiencing anxiety, brain fog, and other symptoms, remember to give yourself grace; your nervous system is processing the trauma you've endured.-Ways to support yourself when dealing with these challenging experiences: seek professional help, join a support group, communicate openly with your medical team, set boundaries, and confide in trusted individuals. -Grief is very personal and it isn't linear, and you don't need to just get over it; allow yourself the time and space to process and acknowledge your feelings.-Your well-being as a table with four legs: stress, movement, sleep, and nutrition, and just like building a table, focus on one leg at a time to strengthen your overall health gradually; start with small steps and work your way up. Remember, this journey is multifaceted. Whether you're in crisis or not, it's okay to seek support, whether it's for nutrition or mental health. Give yourself permission to process your experiences and know that there's a supportive community of women who understand what you're going through. You're not alone. Connect w/ Jessica:Website: https://www.bloomwelltherapy.com Instagram: @holisticperinataltherapist   Subscribe to The Endo Belly Girl Podcast: Apple | SpotifyConnect with Alyssa: Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Group Work with Alyssa: Start the free course Learn about Thrive With Endo (my 1:1 program) Book a free strategy session Learn more about AlyssaDisclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Jessica Procini. Jessica Procini is a woman on a mission. As the founder and leader of Escape From Emotional Eating since 2011, she has been helping women who strive for excellence heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can embody their full potential. She created Escape From Emotional Eating®, a unique process grounded in a decade of research, a background in the Psychology of Eating, and Transformational Coaching methods. But it's her own personal emotional eating journey and experience that makes her work stand out from the rest. Frustrated that 932 hours in therapy never helped her end her fight with food and Overeaters Anonymous never being a place she could call ‘home', she never gave up and never lost hope. Determined to find a way to truly be free from emotional eating so she could have the peace, freedom, and joy in her body, mind, and soul she had always longed for, Jessica knew there needed to be a different kind of support... one that got to the roots of emotional eating. Finally free from her old self-destructive cycles with food, Jessica pairs her personal experience with her professional expertise to help other high-striving women get to the roots of their emotional eating through her year-long programs, retreats, keynotes, and workshops. As a sought-after thought leader, Jessica's work has received multiple awards year after year from the Institute of Psychology of Eating and has been featured in noteworthy media outlets such as ABC, CBS, and MindBodyGreen. Jessica lives in Philadelphia with her husband Zach and two rescue dogs Billie and CJ. She recharges her batteries by trying to grow flowers in her miniature urban garden and taking adult ballet classes.
