- In this more intimate video, I open up about the raw realities of early parenthood and share why I am so deeply committed to supporting new moms on their journey. As a recent survivor of cancer and someone who has faced my own mental health battles, I understand the unique and complicated challenges that come with being a parent. I delve into the struggles that new mothers face and why they are often set up for an uphill battle. Through my own experiences and recovery journey, I have found a renewed passion for helping moms not just survive, but thrive in this demanding stage of life. Join me as I share my personal story, my dedication to empowering mothers, and my unwavering belief in their strength and resilience. Let's come together to support and uplift one another in this incredible journey of motherhood.

I needed this. My son turns 1 next week and I got the shock of my life at how hard it actually is. I was so unprepared
Yeah. I just love you. I'm so glad you're better, Jess❤
"Drowning" is very often how I describe how I'm feeling as first time mum to a 7 month old. I love our little boy so much and am so grateful for him, I also have a loving and supportive husband and mum, but oh my gosh, this is hard and I had no idea how hard it would be despite believing we were quite well prepared. Looking forward to more of this kind of content Jess as I always come away feeling like I've had a good chat with a friend who has made me believe everything will be okay ❤ x
I’m crying, I’m so excited and thankful for this and the timing of it all. I’ve followed you for years and you’ve always provided such a peaceful mindset for me. I’m pregnant with our third now and couldn’t be more grateful for the timing of your content coming back in this way!
You're the best! Congratulations!! It helps me to know that this kind of content is still helpful! For a while there my views were low and I was getting confused, feeling like maybe it wasn’t helpful anymore 🩷 thank you for taking the time to comment!
I love that you're going back to the old style! I binged soooo many of your videos when I was pregnant with my first ☺️
Jess, this is literally exactly what I needed to hear right now. I feel so seen and encouraged. Currently up pumping at 3am. I had my first baby recently and she's almost a month old right now. It's been so hard. I love my sweet girl so much but I don't love being a mom just yet and the learning curve is so huge. It feels impossible at times to learn everything. I know the sleep deprivation and hormone changes make it hard too. It also has been difficult dealing with breastfeeding struggles, postpartum preeclampsia, and postpartum depression and anxiety. We had some extra things thrown at us. I feel like the first two weeks of her life I was in such a fog and just trying to survive I didn't bond as well with her, especially after going back in to the hospital. I spent many nights crying and telling my husband I can't do this, it's too hard. Thankfully things are starting to feel better slowly.
I've been a long time viewer. I love these types of videos--sit down chats, motivational chats, whatever you want to call them. They're my favorite type of video you make! You have the gift of encouragement and it's not the first time a video of yours has been super timely in my life.
Thank you so much for your encouragement! I love it. I would love to see some content with your husband. My husband is a stay at home dad and could use some encouragement as well.
Jess, you’re such an inspiration ❤Hi from Ukraine ☀️
Please do make other content apart from the podcast, the podcast is great but this feels like we get more of you and your point of view in life ❤
I will! Thank you so much ❤️ Is there anything you want me to talk about?
@@jess_hover I think topics like these could be good for many of us: making time for your relationship while parenting, budgeting for fun activities with children, more of Shaun's day with the kids (those videos are always hilarious 😂), mom self care, how parenting has changed for you at the different ages, the transition from 2-3 kids (I think you did 1-2 but not 2-3) and what to expect, how you choose holidays and what to do that's not too expensive but is still fun... I know those are all a lot but genuinely all are relevant to me still drowning in motherhood, I'd love the oxygen tank just about now 😂
@@RosssR I love the suggestion on how parenting has changed for you at different ages!
I second the transition from 2-3! I have a 1-month-old, a 15-month-old, and a two and a half year old! Any advice is appreciated 💕
I’m so excited for this! I’m pregnant with identical twin boys and the transition from 1 to 3 kids is something that is a little intimidating for us. We are so excited but I know it’ll be a big leap when they’re born and out here with us. Our oldest son is a year and a half old and doesn’t understand that he has 2 little brothers coming yet 😅
Ahh praying for you right now! I just had my third, but I can't imagine going straight from 1 to 3!!
I'm having my first baby in October, this is perfect timing. I have been following your videos for quite some time but I will be going back through them soon and taking notes this time!
Jess ❤ I love your energy in this video! Honestly I really struggled mentally these last few years- my daughter is 3. You help me feel understood and not alone thank you ❤
This is so good! So thankful for you!!
Quit folding, use baskets!
Yesssss 👏🏼 every time someone mentions folding I'm like "people still do that?" 😂
@@micaelablogs TBF I do it too but I don't have a problem with folding, kinda like it actually. And don't have room for those baskets. But for those that constantly have clothes waiting to be folded I think it's time to change it! 😀
I have three under three, so folding is not something that fits in my life right now 😅
this is gold omg
So excited for more content like this! The analogy of drowning but being given the equipment to scuba dive is perfect. I began watching your channel to prepare while pregnant, and now my daughter is 7 months old. It has been hard work! Harder than I expected. But so very worth it.
Eloise is so smart.. brown chair always full of laundry, just get rid of the chair! 😂
So excited! Been watching your videos for years. Just had my first baby boy in April and can really use your encouraging words!
Aw wow congratulations!! Encouraging words will be coming for you ❤️❤️ thank you for commenting so I can know who I am talking to!
I found you years ago when my daughter now 3 had bad reflux! Love your chill style. Currently 6 wks prego with a toddler and have been really struggling. Trying to remember this phase w pass
I for one am down for this content! Loved the scuba analogy
You’re the best ❤️❤️❤️
Hooooooray its a lovely day when Jess hover posts. Please never stop making these. Even when the views feel low - we're still here 🌟
Thank you!! 😭😭
My husband and I both work remote. A 2 year old, and 5 month old. Wow it is hard!!!!! Tips to survive? No money for a babysitter, no family lives close.
Oooof it is so hard! I relate and will definitely share anything that has helped keep us afloat!! Sending love!
We’re in the same boat! No advice or anything but wanted to say I’m here with you!
Would really love to hear your take on how to stick with work that is important and meaningful, even when it doesn’t feel like it’s paying the bills. I struggle with this!
Thankful for your content!
Ooo good one! I would like to hear more about this too!
Also on the ideas front…
Ideas on how to find ways for fun/interactive moments with kids in the monotonous day to day?
How to feel like your getting quality time as working mum with multiple kids
Wow i felt so supported by you in this video. Thank you! (First time mom of an almost 9mo).
I love this metaphor ❤ i started watching you when i was pregnant with my first, 4 years ago, and you and your sweet perspective have always made me feel like i can do this and we're all going to be ok. 😅
I LOVED this. I think we all have the scuba gear inside of us. We sometimes need to be reminded that it exists but it’s already within us.
I love when you just sit and chat, I’ve missed it ❤
So excited you’re back! I’ve been watching you since I was pregnant with my first baby in 2020. These were my favorite videos and I was so sad when you stopped making them. You helped me so much especially when you had Jules since we both had 2 under 2 at the same time 😅
Yay! Thank you! Aww we really have been in it together!! It means a lot to know you like watching my videos! I appreciate it!!
@@jess_hover can you share more potty training tips? My 3 year old son is stubborn and refuses to go. 🙃
Glad you are back!!!
Looking great Jessica
