Mama Making Podcast
The Mama Making Podcast is a space for moms figuring it out in real time - at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Hosted by Jessica Lamb, this show is here to help you feel a little less alone in the mess and magic of motherhood.
Each week brings a mix of solo reflections, expert interviews, and real stories from moms who are leaning into themselves - whether that’s in parenting, entrepreneurship, or simply surviving the day. It’s for moms in the making and moms making their way through - without a manual, but with a whole lot of heart.
Because there’s no one way to do motherhood - and you don’t have to do it alone.

Faces of Nurture19: Alexandra Bradberry & Chelsie Bruggeman | Burnout, Boundaries, and Building a Village
In this special bonus episode of The Mama Making Podcast, recorded in collaboration with Nurture 19’s Faces of Nurture campaign, Jessica talks with Alexandra Bradberry and Chelsie Bruggeman—two moms, entrepreneurs, and advocates for rethinking how we support working parents.
They get honest about what burnout really feels like (spoiler: it’s not always obvious), how they’ve learned to prioritize rest and connection, and why building community is non-negotiable for modern motherhood.
If you’ve ever wondered how you’re supposed to do it all—or why you even think you should—this episode is the reminder you need that you're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong. It’s just that hard.
