We are excited to have Wendy Jones back on the show again. Wendy is a mother of 4, a writer, coach, and founder of Be Better with Wendy Jones. She has a passion for healing generational trauma and teaching the next generation to turn their struggles into strengths.

One of the biggest catalysts for her own growth was when her youngest survived a near drowning when he was only 2 and was later diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. As she researched ways to help him—through nutrition, neuroscience, and the body/mind connection—Wendy realized that the tools and methods they were using could help anyone. After her divorce (another powerful catalyst), she learned to heal and thrive on her own terms, and came to understand that deep health is a lifelong commitment to ourselves to be a little bit better every day. Through this commitment, we give ourselves the gift of self-awareness and are better able to model for our children what deep health and connected relationships look like.

As parents, we want to know that there is a community out there that understands and a community that we can lean on in times of need. This is why I’m so excited to have Jess Hansen on the show today. Jess is one of the most incredible advocates for her children that I have ever seen. I was fortunate enough to be invited into her team of people to provide aquatic therapy to support her son Jaxon after his accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury. Jess and her husband never lost faith and never gave up fighting for what Jaxon needed. This resulted in them building a team around Jaxon that truly shows the power of community.

Abbie a wife and mom of two young boys and a speech language pathologist with specialty training in breastfeeding/lactation counseling, infant feeding disorders, and childhood feeding difficulties. She started my career in the suburbs of Chicago, where she gained specialized experience working with children (birth-adolescence) with various feeding and swallowing difficulties. Those experiences solidified her passion in the area of feeding and swallowing.

She is now working as a speech language pathologist for an ENT private practice in Iowa. When moving back home to Iowa, she realized there were less resources readily available to parents in the area of pediatric feeding and swallowing which led her to sharing her knowledge through social platforms.
