Last time we had Jen Hamilton on, we talked all things nursing, advocacy, and her book Birth Vibes. This time? We’re just… hanging out. And honestly, it might be our favorite kind of episode.

Jen is back in the studio and bringing her full, beautifully chaotic, joy-filled life with her. From raising indoor chickens (yes, diapers included) to navigating social media with millions of followers, to building a nonprofit that’s helping moms across the country—this conversation is equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and deeply grounding.

We talk about:

• What it actually looks like to “have it all” (hint: it’s messy and wonderful)
• Why Jen refuses to fit into a single “niche” online—and why you don’t have to either
• The behind-the-scenes of her social media presence (and how she keeps it sustainable)
• Parenting in the teenage years + navigating intrusive thoughts
• Dream vacations (cruise people vs. not cruise people 👀)
• Using your platform for good—even when it makes people uncomfortable
• Letting people misunderstand you and calling that freedom

We also dive into Jen’s nonprofit, Hot Mess Express, and how one Facebook post turned into a nationwide movement helping overwhelmed moms reset their homes—and their nervous systems—with zero judgment and lots of love.

And because we like to keep it real around here, we wrap with some honest confessions about the not-so-polished parts of life (forgotten Valentines, messy houses, and struggling to shower… you know, the usual).

This episode feels like sitting on the couch with friends—laughing, learning, and reminding each other that we’re all just doing the best we can.

Recorded in the Such-N-Such Media Studios at Liberty Plaza in downtown Winston-Salem, we are produced by Tim Beeman for Such-N-Such Media. Theme music is by Doug Davis.
