Jess Being Honest

Jess Creelman

Life is messy, unpredictable, emotional, and sometimes a little ridiculous, so we might as well talk about it! Welcome to Jess Being Honest. The podcast where I get personal about life and everything that comes with it. I’m Jess Creelman: a Halifax radio host, content creator, big yapper and chronic oversharer. From becoming a mom at 17 to navigating marriage with my wife (who I’ve known since I was 12), raising a teenager, sobriety, mental health, friendships, and figuring out adulthood, I’ve lived a little, learned a lot, and collected plenty of stories along the way. Because seriously, when are we supposed to have adulthood figured out? I’m an open book, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I usually have approximately 47 tabs open in my brain at once. I can go from laughing uncontrollably to crying over something sentimental in a matter of seconds. One minute, I’m sharing something deeply personal. The next, I’m passionately dissecting reality TV drama, telling a story that probably didn’t need to be told, or going off on a completely unrelated tangent and forgetting what I was talking about in the first place. Some conversations will be hilarious, some will be uncomfortable, and others might get unexpectedly deep. Expect oversharing, questionable decisions, unsolicited opinions, emotional moments, a little chaos, and the occasional guest who’s brave enough to join me. Think of it as hanging out in my bedroom and catching up with a friend who has absolutely no idea how to tell a short story, asks way too many questions, and somehow manages to make every conversation an adventure. No filter, just me being honest.

    Teen Friendships & Why They Don’t Last

    Got a question for me? Send me a text! This week, we’re talking about teen friendships. What makes them strong, how they change over time, and why some don’t last. We get into how friendships start so easily, what actually makes someone a good friend, and how expectations can look completely different depending on the person. From there, we talk about how friendships function now: what “being close” even means, how social media plays into it, and the difference between staying in contact vs actually feeling connected. We also get into boundaries vs loyalty, and how knowing when to protect your peace can sometimes change a friendship entirely. Then we talk about the harder part, when things start to shift. The slow changes, the distance, and those moments where you can feel a friendship isn’t the same anymore… even if nothing specific happened. We also touch on friendship breakups, the lack of closure, and how easy it is to fall into blaming yourself or the other person instead of actually understanding what changed. And finally, we talk about outgrowing friendships. When nothing went wrong, but you’re just not in the same place anymore, and what those relationships still teach you, even after they end. As always, it’s a real, honest conversation that a lot of people will be able to relate to.
