Episode 8: Building Community, Raising Boys & Thriving in Motherhood

building community raising boys and thriving in motherhood

In this heart-warming and honest episode of The Naptime Sessions, I’m joined by the wonderful Jess Gibson—mum of four (yes, FOUR!) and founder of the TN Card, a brilliant initiative supporting local businesses while giving back to mental health charities.

Jess opens up about the juggle of running a business while raising four boys, the importance of community, and why setting boundaries (even when it’s hard) is key to keeping your sanity. She also shares her experiences navigating neurodiversity with her son Gabriel, dealing with imposter syndrome, and the lessons she’s learned through grief and motherhood.

Here’s what we cover:

  • The reality of running a business with four little humans in tow—chaotic but rewarding!

  • Why local businesses (and communities) thrive when we support each other.

  • The emotional rollercoaster of motherhood, from imposter syndrome to embracing imperfection.

  • Parenting through grief and how loss has shaped Jess’s outlook.

  • Understanding neurodiversity and advocating for our children’s needs.

  • The one piece of advice Jess swears by: take more videos of your little ones!

Jess’s warmth, honesty, and passion for making a difference shines through in this conversation. Whether you’re a mum juggling it all or just need a reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos, this episode is for you.
