About this podcast
The Mama Making Podcast is a space for moms making impact - in their communities, in their work, and in the everyday spaces that shape the world.
Hosted by Jessica Lamb, this show features honest conversations with women building, leading, creating, and mothering in ways that ripple outward. Each week brings a mix of solo reflections, expert interviews, and real stories from moms navigating growth in every season — from pregnancy and postpartum to leadership, entrepreneurship, advocacy, and beyond.
Because motherhood doesn’t pause growth. It often reshapes it.
