Coffee With Parents Podcast

Coffee with Parents eagerly explores All the fascinating facets of families. This podcast seeks to shine a bright, colorful light on the kaleidoscope of parents and families that exist in this world. I aim to speak with single parents, queer parents, adoptive parents, parents of children with special needs, parents struggling with addiction and mental illness - a full spectrum of families around the world. We will dig deep. Have big belly laughs. Embrace ugly crying. And sip that sweet caffeinated cup. Listen in love. Hear with your heart. And enjoy Coffee with Parents. IG: @cwppodcast

    Jessica's Story

    Jessica Arzate-Diaz (she/her) is located in California. She has two children, is happily married to her husband, and they're currently parenting in a multi-generational household with Grandparents. Jess is a baker and owns Flour Child Baking Company. . Jess and I have a great conversation about body image from teen years through postpartum, starting a small business during a pandemic, the reality of receiving some concerning ultrasound results while pregnant with her daughter, and how the Lucky Fin Project changed her life. . I so enjoyed hearing Jessica's story. She's as sweet and spunky as a snickerdoodle (which she bakes! check out her website above!). If you hear her say "Joaquin" in a few conflicting contexts its because it is both her husband and her son's names. I realized while editing that may not be completely clear so I'm letting you know here! . Listen in love, heart with your heart, and enjoy Jess on Coffee With Parents! You can support by following @flourchildbakingcompany on Instagram and by ordering delicious baked goods from her website!
