The Just A Mom Podcast

Don’t miss this encouraging and inspiring episode featuring Jessica Patay, founder of We Are Brave Together. As the mother of a child with Prader-Willi disease (https://www.fpwr.org/), Jessica founded We Are Brave Together in 2017 to be a safe place for women with children with any issue or diagnosis. We Are Brave Together is a place for women to feel seen, heard, validated, and understood through their podcast, retreats, and support groups, known as connection circles.  There are presently over 20 connection groups worldwide that support their mission to preserve and protect the mental health of caregiving moms. Jessica openly shares the challenges of being a caregiving mom and the perseverance, tenacity, dedication, sacrifice, and love caregiving moms exhibit. 

Jessica has also compiled caregiving mom stories into a book, Becoming Brave Together (https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Brave-Together-Extraordinary-Caregiving-ebook/dp/B0D123VCRS). Jessica wants moms to pick up this book and feel seen, heard, and validated. She also hopes the book will help others open their eyes to the challenges caregivers face.
