This is your go-to Podcast, where we help parents navigate the complexities of family life. Hosted by Ali Kessler of Greyson’s Choice, we’ll cover everything from understanding domestic violence to navigating the legal system, finding the right therapists, life hacks, family law, mental health, custody battles, and how to protect children in dangerous situations.

Host Ali Kessler interviews Jenn Robb (the “Warrior Mom Coach”) about resilience, motherhood, and rising after hardship. Jenn shares her family’s experience when her daughter began struggling at 12 with anxiety, depression, and self-harm, culminating at 15 in a near-fatal alcohol poisoning, later revealing the root trauma of a peer sexual assault. Jenn discusses prioritizing her daughter’s survival over prosecution, the lack of support for moms in crisis, and how writing her book, "Warrior Moms Rising," was both triggering and cathartic. She emphasizes self-care, positive self-talk, avoiding social-media comparison, education, and strong advocacy in medical settings, including refusing overmedication and finding better-fit providers. Jen encourages overwhelmed moms to seek community, outlines her group coaching and resources at warriormomcoach.net, and stresses that women are never alone and that purpose can be found in pain.

About Jenn Robb:

Known as the Warrior Mom Coach, is a mentor, speaker, and author dedicated to helping moms find strength and healing after hardship. In her new book, Warrior Moms Rising, Jenn shares her own story and the tools she uses to guide women toward resilience, self-love, and empowerment.

About Ali Kessler: Ali Kessler is a writer, marketing professional, passionate parent advocate, and founder of Greyson’s Choice, a 501(c)(3) created to raise awareness about the risk of domestic abuse on children. Greyson’s Choice was founded by Ali Kessler in memory of her sweet, vibrant, and fearless 4.5-year-old son, Greyson, who was murdered by his biological father in a murder-suicide during an unsupervised, court-approved visit in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, in 2021. This came just hours after her petition for a domestic violence injunction was denied by a Broward County judge, citing that the “petitioner has failed to allege any overt acts by the respondent which would constitute domestic violence under Florida Statute.”

Ali’s advocacy efforts culminated in successfully passing Greyson’s Law during the 2023 legislative session. This bill now requires the court to consider threats against ex-partners or spouses when making child visitation and custody determinations in the court, expanding to include the following factors: evidence of domestic violence, whether a parent in the past or currently has reasonable cause to believe that they or a minor child is, or has been in imminent danger of becoming the victim of domestic/sexual violence by the other parent, even if no other legal action has been brought or is currently pending in court.
