Welcome to the Calm Mom podcast, the show for ambitious women ready to get off the Hot Mess Express.

I know you've got a lot going on. You work so hard. You're raising an incredible family.

And sometimes it can be overwhelming. I'm your host, Michelle Grocer. I'm a certified master life coach, attorney,

wife, and mom. And years ago, I was right where you are. I was running a busy law practice

while raising a family, and I was on the fast track to burnout. I thought I just needed to be more

organized or have better routines, but it was learning

how to heal and regulate my nervous system that expand in my capacity to gracefully hold more

of this big, beautiful life.

You too are worthy of an extraordinary life in and beyond motherhood.

Learning to be a calm, anchoring presence in your home and at work

is going to be your superpower. If you're here to do the inner work that brings a sense of calm

amidst the chaos, I'm here to join you on that journey. Each time you press play, your growth

continues, so let's get at it.

What's up, you guys? Michelle Grosser here. You are listening to The Call Mom podcast.

Thanks for being here today. I'm excited for this episode. Today on the show, you guys are going to hear from Jackie Gold Schneider. Maybe you know her from Bravo hit TV show The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

But before she joined The Real Housewives back in 2018, she was an attorney just like me.

And she is a beautiful writer. She's been a freelance journalist. And she just released her book called

The Weight of Beautiful.

And it's her story of her battle with anorexia and her journey to recovery.

And guys, she is just so, she's an open book.

She's just so honest and real and vulnerable about this eating disorder that she experienced and the impact that it had on her life.

And she talks about how it really started in childhood a long time ago, right?
