Episode Synopsis

Send us a textJacquie Ciccone (@healthiermotherhood) is back on When She Pivots — this time for a one-on-one deep dive.A former oncology nurse turned stay-at-home mom of two, Jacquie first connected with listeners during our live audience conversation at Sarah Wells’ Book Tour. In this episode, she opens up about what it really looks like to step away from a professional career in order to be home with her babies.Jacquie shares candidly about the beauty and the challenges of this season: the loneliness, the overstimulation, and the complicated feelings that come with not contributing financially — especially as a woman who deeply values independence. We talk about trust, sacrifice, and the hard choices that make family life work (even when it’s not all rainbows and butterflies).We also dive into how she’s embracing a new chapter — shifting her social media presence toward health and wellness, prioritizing her own fitness, and showing families how to eat well on a budget. Finally, she shares what’s next: her curiosity about new career paths and the possibility of stepping back into the workforce in a way that looks different from before.This conversation is about values, identity, and the courage to redefine independence on your own terms.
