Choosing joy and resilience with badass mother Jessica Janzen Olstad Ep. 12

This week's change-maker is Jessica Janzen Olstad, a Calgary based business owner who in November of 2016, watched her six-month-old son Lewiston pass away from SMA, a rare genetic disease. Jess is someone who has inspired me on my own journey with infant loss. She owns her story and has chosen to use it for good in all kinds of meaningful ways including creating the Love For Lewiston Foundation. As I wrote in this week’s blogpost (www.womendontdothat.com/blog), Jess is a badass mother with wisdom to share on choosing joy and resilience. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did.
