Kids & Family
Every mama has those moments that test her heart — and yesterday, ours was Korbin’s very first bee sting. In this episode, Jessica shares the full story, from the fun morning playing pickleball to the sudden sting, the hose and ice packs, and the hours of cuddles and Bubble Guppies that followed.
But woven into the story is something even more powerful: a celebration of how far she’s come in retraining her brain away from worst-case scenarios. Instead of spiraling, she stayed present, calm, and connected — modeling trust for herself and her little one.
You’ll hear:
The real, messy play-by-play of a toddler’s first bee sting
How Jessica and Kelton supported Korbin with calm words, comfort, and presence
Why this moment felt like a milestone in parenting confidence
Reflections on breaking generational patterns of fear and catastrophizing
It’s not just a story about a bee sting — it’s a reminder that even in the stings of life, we can choose calm, connection, and truth.
