Resilient with Jessica Boarman
This is a space where we dive deep into the human experience—exploring perfectionism, emotional resilience, grief, and what it means to make space for healing, growth, and intentional living.
Each episode invites you into honest, meaningful conversations about embracing vulnerability, releasing pressure, and learning to show up fully—even when life feels uncertain. You’re not alone—and there’s strength in choosing to live a little softer.
Resilient with Jessica Boarman
39. What I Wish I’d Known Before Losing My Mom
What did you think of this episode?
In this episode, Jessica shares the story of losing her mom after a lung cancer diagnosis in 2013.
She reflects on the early days after the diagnosis, the way fear showed up as a need for control, and the quiet grief that began long before her mom was gone. Jessica talks honestly about caregiving, anticipatory grief, and what it’s like to lose the person you talked to every single day.
This episode isn’t about doing grief “right.” It’s about what it looks like to love someone the best you can when you don’t yet know what you’ll wish you had done differently.
If you’ve lost a parent, are caring for someone who’s sick, or are carrying regret alongside grief, this conversation is for you.
