Meet Jess! Getting to know her through her role as a Gathering 2022, Wave of Light speaker, and now a friend has been a joy. She is generous with her heart and her wisdom and today's episode includes a multitude of both offerings. Peyton and Jess talk about the duplicity of grief, the concept of "bouncing forward" and the ability for loss moms to hold the tension of various emotions simultaneously. Dive into her story and find hope in your own healing journey!
More about Jess: Jessica Latshaw has a BFA in dance performance from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she also studied piano and voice extensively. She has performed musical theater on many stages, most notably, the Broadway tour of A Chorus Line. She has performed her own songs on cool stages, such as NYC’s The Blue Note Jazz Club, Boston’s City Winery, and the UK’s Sage Gateshead. Jessica is a worship leader at the Barn Vineyard Church in PA. She is also a podcaster, which she co-hosts with her husband TJ (The TJ and Jess Show) weekly, writes on her substack (jessicalatshaw.substack.com), and is currently in the final edits before releasing her first book—a memoir narrating losing and loving her son Luca. Home is loud and messy—mostly because of the three little girls she and TJ get to raise and not at all because she’d rather write music than fold laundry.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
