Jess is a blogger, recipe creator, and podcast host with a passion for real food, real connection, and sharing herself–flaws and all. A recovering perfectionist, she now focuses on supporting women in finding their truth, nourishing their minds and bodies intuitively, and creating joy in their lives as they navigate the motherhood transition. She pours her heart and soul into the weekly podcast she co-hosts, The Modern Mamas Podcast–which is a safe space to share her authentic experience of motherhood, and where expert guests come on to educate and empower women to take charge of their health. You can find her recipes, lifestyle posts, and podcast episodes at www.holdthespacewellness.com, and she adores connecting with people online on Instagram @jess.holdthespace. She is also a recipe contributor for the online program, Baby Making & Beyond, a team member for the online editorial Fed & Fit, and mentors an incredible team of amazing women through her advocacy work with Beautycounter. When not working, she loves to spend time with her husband Tim, two kiddos Bear and Camille, and 2 large Great Pyrenees rescues. They are her greatest accomplishment!
