About this episode

Modern motherhood has become deeply isolating and many moms are silently drowning trying to do everything alone. This conversation finally says that part out loud. This episode of The Torch Mom Podcast is a real and refreshing conversation about motherhood, sleep deprivation, identity shifts, entrepreneurship, asking for help, and why moms were never meant to carry everything by themselves. Tia sits down with Jackie, a parent concierge, sleep support advocate, entrepreneur, former vet tech, equestrian, and mother for an honest discussion about modern motherhood and the pressure women face to “figure it all out” alone. From IVF and postpartum transitions to building support systems for families, Jackie opens up about the reality of parenting in a world where community often feels missing.
