    Jessica Dawson - The Fourth Trimester

    Jessica Dawson - The Fourth Trimester

    Welcome back! 

    Thank you for your patience as I ramp back up :) 

    This episode is perfect! Jessica is incredible - she wrote an entire book about motherhood and how no one really talks about the transition! 

    Meet Jessica Dawson, a proud, Denver-based mother to her daughter Harper and dog Beans, partner to her husband Ryan, marketing executive, and avid traveler. Inspired by a supportive tribe of remarkable women, she fearlessly penned her first book "Postpartum: The Expectations and Reality of the Fourth Trimester," to empower new moms with the hard truth of what they may experience with a relatable, fun, and friendly perspective, creating an invaluable resource for everyone embarking on the adventure of motherhood.

    Her book is out NOW! Find it on Amazon: https://a.co/d/5FE6Y0V

    Thank you all for the grace while I dealt with 3 losses in 2022.

Love this Podcast!

It’s relevant, important information from women in the staffing industry. They are articulate, funny, and have great rapport. And most importantly, they care about this podcast and giving you, the listener, what you need to be happy, balanced, and successful as you define it.

Long overdue but finally got to listen to the BGPP - so good!!! Listened to Episode 56 featuring a woman who cured herself from Lyme disease and has since cured 48 people - wow! Kim Shapiro has the BEST voice and she and April ask such great questions to the speakers! And they are both personally very knowledgable. Highly recommend! -Martha O
