Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

In this episode, we’re joining by Pediatrician Dr. Phil Boucher. Together we’re diving into the topic of ADHD in children.

How ADHD presents differently in girls

I also share my personal experience navigating ADHD within my own family -- including advocating for my daughter when concerns were initially dismissed

If you’ve ever wondered “Is this ADHD or just typical behavior?” or felt unsure about where to start - you’re not alone. This episode is here to help you feel more informed, supported, and less overwhelmed.

Choosing Childcare: What to Look For

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0000

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

Finding childcare can feel overwhelming - especially for new parents. Long waitlists, different types of programs, safety concerns, and the emotional reality of leaving your baby in someone else's care can make the process feel like a lot.

In this episode, I sit down with Omaha mom and early childhood expert, Molly Colling, to break down how parents can navigate the childcare search with more confidence. Molly shares practical guidance on what quality childcare really looks like, how to evaluate programs, and what questions parents should be asking when they interviewing childcare providers.

If you’re pregnant, returning to work, or currently trying to find the right childcare fit for your family, this episode will help you feel more informed and empowered.

What to Expect • How early families should realistically start looking for childcare • The different types of licensed childcare in Nebraska (center-based vs. in-home care) • What actually defines quality childcare beyond toys and decorations • Signs to look for when visiting a childcare program • Important questions parents should ask childcare providers • Red flags parents should pay attention to when touring a program

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: there isn’t one perfect childcare option for every family. The best program is the one that supports your child’s development while fitting your family’s needs and values.

Birth Trauma and the NICU: Healing After a Difficult Start

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0000

In this episode, we’re having a really important conversation about something many moms experience but don’t always have the space to talk about openly - birth trauma and the NICU experience.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be “over it” but still carry the weight of your birth or NICU experience, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with therapist Kanjana Hartshorne to talk about:

· What birth trauma actually is (and why it’s not just about medical emergencies)

· The emotional weight of the NICU experience

· How trauma lives in the nervous system long after discharge

· Guilt, numbness, hypervigilance, and “I should be over this” thoughts

· Why talk therapy alone isn’t always enough

· What somatic healing means in real life

· Simple body-based tools moms can try today

· Signs it might be time for deeper healing

Kanjana Hartshorne, LCSW, C-IAYT, CCFP, Reiki Master, is the founder of Healing Hearts Wellness, a holistic therapy practice integrating somatic and yoga therapy, EMDR, IFS, creative arts, and spiritual practices.

Mom Rage: Why It Happens and What It’s Telling You

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0000

Mom rage is far more common than most mothers admit - yet many carry deep shame when anger surfaces.

In this episode of Omaha Mom Talks, therapist and perinatal mental health specialist Nicole McNelis joins us for an honest conversation about why rage shows up in motherhood, what is happening inside the nervous system, and how unmet needs and invisible labor push many moms past their emotional limits.

This conversation is both deeply validating and highly practical - offering compassionate insight along with tangible tools mothers can begin using immediately.

If you have ever wondered, “What is wrong with me?” after reacting in a way that surprised you…this episode is for you.

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0000

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

In this powerful and deeply important conversation, I’m joined by Samantha Wall - Omaha mom, public health professional, and founder of The Omaha Better Birth Project. Together, we explore birth as more than a medical event - it is a human, emotional, and systems-level experience that can shape families for years to come.

Sam shares how her own entry into motherhood opened her eyes to gaps in support, patterns in birth experiences, and the inequities many families face when navigating pregnancy and delivery.

What to Expect: In this episode, we discuss:

· How Samantha’s first birth experience led her into advocacy work

· The emotional realities of motherhood during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond

· What an empowered and supportive birth experience can be

· What doulas actually do and how they can transform the birth experience

· How partners and support people can show up more effectively

At its core, this conversation is about ensuring families feel seen, heard, and supported during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting someone who is, or passionate about maternal health - this episode will leave you more informed and more connected to the kind of care every family deserves.

More Than a Mom

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0000

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

Season 4 opens with a deeply personal solo episode from me, Jessie, - therapist, mom, grieving daughter, and host - reflecting on identity, motherhood, and what it means to remain a whole person while raising children.

I share the story behind starting this podcast in the midst of profound grief after losing both of my parents, and how creating Omaha Mom Talks became both a creative outlet and a path back to myself. This episode gently invites mothers to consider an important truth: motherhood is a role you hold - it is not the totality of who you are.

What to Expect: In this episode, we explore:

Why so many mothers quietly feel like they've disappeared inside motherhood
The cultural pressure toward self-sacrifice and the "mommy matyr" pattern
How losing yourself is often an adaptation - not a failure
Permission to reconnect with the parts of you that existed before motheroood
Why you don't need a "big thing" to reclaim yourself - small moments count
How to tolerate mom guilt as you begin caring your own wellness
Gentle questions to help you rediscover your interests and identity

This episode is a gentle reminder that you are allowed to be both a devoted mother and a whole human

Youth Sports, Select Sports, and Kids' Mental Health

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0000

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! Today's episode is all about youth sports and how to protect your child's mental health.

Youth sports can be such a meaningful part of childhood - building confidence, friendships, and resilience. And at the same time, they can quietly turn into a source of pressure, burnout, and emotional stress for kids and parents.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Nedu Izuegbunam, Clinical and Performance Psychology Athletic Director at the University of Nebraska Omaha, to talk honestly about what healthy youth sports actually look like, how parents can spot red flags early, and how to support kids’ mental health without taking the joy out of the game.

This is a warm, practical conversation - no sideline shaming, no perfection required.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The developmental and mental health benefits of youth sports • The rise of club and select sports and what parents should consider • Early specialization and long-term athlete development • Over-scheduling, burnout, and warning signs parents shouldn’t ignore • How to make the car ride home emotionally safer for kids • Protecting a child’s identity beyond sport • What to do when a child wants to quit

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode.

What to Expect:

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most anxiety-provoking but essential parts of parenting: how to talk to your kids about their bodies, boundaries, relationships, and sexual health - without shame, fear, or the pressure to say everything perfectly.

Dr. Amanda Holman joins us to share: • Why parents struggle with these conversations • How to start talking about bodies from toddlerhood through the tween years • What “talk early and often” actually looks like • How to answer awkward or unexpected questions (without spiraling) • How to teach consent, boundaries, and body autonomy in everyday life

This episode is full of language you can use today, strategies that reduce shame, and reminders that you don’t have to have every answer - you just need to be a safe place for your child to land.

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks!
Thank you for joining me for the first episode of Season 2. I’m so glad to have you here. If you’re new, I’m Jessie - a wife, mama of two (ages 4 and 7), mental health therapist, and your fellow millennial mom just trying to figure it all out.

What to Expect: In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey through the loss of both of my parents - my dad, who passed away in early 2020, and my mom, who I lost in the summer of 2024. I talk about the complexities of grief, including what it’s like to lose a parent while raising young kids, and the ways this journey has shaped my approach to motherhood and my work as a therapist. I also touch on the well-known Kübler-Ross stages of grief and why they’re often misunderstood. If you’ve ever felt untethered by grief or wondered how to show up for others walking that path, this one’s for you.

Episode Highlights:

· Why I started this podcast during a time of intense grief

· Reflecting on my dad’s sudden passing in 2020 and how his kindness and unconditional love shaped the way I parent

· Honoring my mom’s journey, including her struggles with mental health and the resilience she showed in the face of those challenges

· Why grief isn’t a problem to fix and why support matters more than solutions

· The power of finding community in the midst of loss

· Practical insights on holding space for others grieving and what I’ve learned along the way
