Listen "A Big Sigh of Relief for Jess, Velvet Thunder i.e. Jay Norman is HERE!"
Episode Synopsis
Jay Norman is here! (Jess' man.) They talk about that one wild day when the family cat, Tommy, went missing—and how a simple pet search turned into this unexpectedly emotional rollercoaster. The kids got involved, everyone was on edge, and somehow it all made them reflect on what really matters in a family. Jess and Jay also go off on a tangent about a super awkward public moment—one of those things that’s equal parts mortifying and hilarious—and how showing up as your real, messy self is kind of the bravest thing you can do. Listen as Jess and Jay have an honest, heartfelt conversation about love, community, and how even in the middle of panic or embarrassment, we find connection.Chapters00:00 - Intro03:54 - The Mysterious Missing Cat11:53 - Dreaming Big: A New Chapter25:51 - The Game Begins: Confronting Fear and Performance47:04 - Reflections on Togetherness and Separation54:41 - Navigating Change: The Impact of Growing UpAbout JessJess is a storyteller and seeker of meaningful connections in Texas by way of Baton Rouge, LA.
