What happens when life takes you from speech pathology to stay-at-home mom with two energetic boys? Jessica Drummond knows this journey intimately, and she's here to share her heart about embracing the beautiful chaos of motherhood with intentionality and joy.

From the moment she begins speaking, Jessica's warmth radiates as she introduces us to her world as a boy mom to Wade (3) and baby Cal with his surprising red hair. Her stories of finding Hot Wheels in the washing machine, dealing with toy snakes in unexpected places, and witnessing those heart-melting moments when her boys look at her with pure love will resonate with any parent who's navigated the wild terrain of raising children.

What makes this conversation truly special is Jessica's refreshing perspective on presence. In a culture obsessed with productivity and forward movement, she's learned the gift of being fully where she is. "To be present is a gift to the people that I'm with," she reflects, offering wisdom for anyone struggling to stay grounded amid life's constant demands. This intentionality extends to her marriage, ministry work with teenage girls, and even how she's navigated difficult seasons and joyful times!

Jessica speaks with disarming honesty about identity shifts that come with motherhood, especially when transitioning from career to stay-at-home parenting. Having worked hard for her speech pathology degree, she initially felt guilt stepping away from her profession. Yet she's found profound purpose in this season: "I get to shape character right now in a way that I just don't feel like I could with multiple things on my plate." Her perspective offers freedom to women wrestling with similar identity questions.

The conversation weaves through faith, community-building, and creating meaningful traditions with your children. Drawing from her experience of being "a Buick kid" (brought up in church), Jessica shares how her parents' approach to faith shaped her own parenting philosophy.

Whether you're in the trenches of early motherhood, navigating a career transition, or seeking to build a stronger faith foundation for your family, Jessica's story reminds us that each season holds purpose, even when it feels messy or invisible. Join us for this heartfelt conversation about finding joy in the wild, beautiful journey of raising little humans.
