SAHM 6: “I’d Missed the First 3 Years”—Jill’s Honest Shift from Career to Motherhood Artwork

Modern Nurture

Engineer turned Mama, Jess, meets mothers at the intersection of instincts and evidence to cut through the noise of parenting and wellness advice.

On Modern Nurture, we’ll look to experts in thought provoking interviews, we’ll look to our biology to unpack the instincts and processes we’ve forgotten in the modern era, and we’ll have heart to heart conversations with real moms from every background as we seek to build a community where every mother and mom-to-be can find relatability and support. I am really excited about a segment of this show, called moms on the ground, where we’ll play real stories and clips from audience members.

If you find yourself scanning reddit at 3am, or scrolling through of page 75 of google search results, this show is for you.

Whether you're seeking answers on conception, childbirth, toddler nutrition, sleep routines, creating a toxin free home for your babies, or even how to nurture yourself - I’ve got you.

I promise you insights, aha moments, and a community that understands. Tune in, and let's rediscover the joy in and power of motherhood together. You can find us on instagram @ModernNuturePod, and listen where ever you get your podcasts.
