259 - The Truth About Becoming Your Mother w/ Jessi Cruickshank

259 - The Truth About Becoming Your Mother w/ Jessi Cruickshank

Comedian Jessi Cruickshank joins Barb and Michelle backstage at Lynn University for a raw, funny, and unexpectedly emotional conversation about motherhood, performance, anxiety, and becoming the women their mothers raised them to be.

From professional perfectionism to internet criticism, the conversation moves from hilarious behind-the-scenes moments into deeper reflections on identity, mindfulness, and the pressure women carry in public and private life. Jessi opens up about the comment she never forgot, while Barb and Michelle unpack what they inherited — and what they had to unlearn.

In this episode:

• Why perfectionism quietly controls so many women

• The emotional cost of always performing “fine”

• How humor and mindfulness actually serve the same purpose

• The parenting lessons they resisted most

• Why confidence is usually built through embarrassment


Learn how to stop performing perfection and start connecting honestly.
