Jessica Everhart: Defying Stigma as a Sober Mom

I do not understand how anyone assumes that as an ex-addict and mother, my only priority is like who's gonna vote me like pta mom of The Year or who's going to allow me to bake like the cupcakes for the carnival?

Ever wondered how a mother can face the world without bowing her head in shame, especially after battling addiction? Jessica Everhart has the answers. In this episode of 'Small Town Latinas', Jessica opens up about her journey to sobriety and the unique challenges she faced along the way. She talks candidly about the stigma of being a recovering addict and a mother, and how society often expects her to fit the mold of a 'perfect' PTA mom.

But Jessica is anything but typical. She emphasizes that her identity extends far beyond her past struggles with addiction. Her sobriety is not just a part of her life; it's a cornerstone of who she is today. Jessica also shares insights into running a business during the pandemic and the critical need for balance and stability in her environment. Through her story, she hopes to teach her children valuable lessons about resilience and finding beauty in the world.

This episode is a raw and honest look at what it means to rise above societal expectations and live authentically.
