absolutely! And I agree, she isn’t so bad on her own!
In the beginning of the episode, they had a listener write in who lost an unplanned pregnancy due to miscarriage and this listener didn’t tell anyone she was pregnant. Jess seemed very empathetic and told the listener even though it was unplanned, you’re going to feel sad and upset and that Jess has a friend who went thru this exact thing and she understood how it is still hurtful. And how it’s ok to feel the emotions and go through the ups and downs. She suggested to find just one person that the listener could confide in, a mom, a friend, etc.
With the whole moms feeling different postpartum topic, like I said she was just so real with her own struggle and having stretch marks and her scar. It was nice to be able to relate and she said how our boyfriends and husbands have seen our bodies evolve and just promoting the idea of being so proud of your body for carrying a human being! She was wayyy more relatable, saying sometimes she looks in the mirror and is like “who the hell am I?!” And Tracy cut in with the whole shaming bit. Jess then went in and said your partner needs to be aware too and help you lift yourself up when you feel a little sensitive. Clearly Tracy has nothing to add to that part lol.
Those were the biggest takeaways that made me look at Jess differently. She was also super understanding when Alan was talking about his wife having an abortion at the beginning of their relationship. Tracy was too though, I’ll give it to her.
