Your favourite Freelancers are back with their second-ever interview episode, and this one’s a motherload of goodness.

We’re sitting down with the incredible Jessie Daypuck, author of Me, Myself and Motherhood, a guided journal that’s basically a love letter to moms who are doing their best while trying to keep their sanity intact. Jessie took her own mental health journey and turned it into a jam-packed collection of tools and exercises to boost positivity, self-worth, gratitude, and tackle that never-ending mom guilt. If you know, you REALLY know.

But let’s be real – this is Freelance AF, so things veer off the rails in the best possible way. Michelle’s out here researching the perfect murder (don’t worry, it’s hypothetical… we think). Sean’s spiritually Spice-Girling alongside Jessie to “Wannabe.” And somehow we end up learning that Michelle is a full-on “peeper” pleaser and Sean has a vendetta against Jos Louis'. We also talk about how passion projects, especially the ones close to your heart, don’t always come together overnight. But when they do, they’re worth every messy, glorious step.

So grab a coffee, stake out your comfiest corner, and get ready to Journal like a Mother. Trust us – this one’s got heart, humour, and a hell of a lot of honesty.

This week’s pour is Sober Carpenter’s Dealcoholized Craft Cider, courtesy of our friends at Designated Drinks!
