Listen now
Description
Jess Quinn was one of our very first KICPOD guests way back in 2019. This week Jess returns, but this time for KICBUMP, after welcoming her first daughter Marla into the world last November.  In our first conversation with Jess she shared her story of childhood cancer and having one of her legs amputated when she was nine years old. In this episode, Steph and Jess talk about Marla and the reality of parenting as an amputee. Jess shares how she gained confidence in her body through pregnancy, her birth story, learning to parent with her husband Todd and how they’re finding their feet with newborn life, the things she can’t do for Marla with one leg, and all the things that Marla will gain from having a mum who’s an amputee.  Check out Jess' fave body positive books for kidsBodies Are Cool - Tyler FederLove Your Body - Jessica SandersHer Body Can - Katie CrenshawEverybody Has A Body - Molli Jackson Ehlert FOLLOW US KICPOD @kicpod on InstagramJess jessicaemilyquinn on InstagramSteph Claire Smith @stephclairesmith on Instagram, @steph_claire_smith on TikTokJoin our virtual mothers' group in the the KICBUMP Facebook group.
