Welcome to 2024! I miss you and even though the podcast has officially ended, I still have so much great content you haven’t heard. So how about a little bonus episode to kick off the year!
Jesse Moss is the rockstar Director of Marketing at Experience Camps, an award-winning national nonprofit that transforms the lives of grieving children through summer camp programs and year-round initiatives. She’s in charge of developing strategies and content to create a more grief-sensitive culture and advocate for grieving children. She's also the voice and creator behind the Experience Camps TikTok (over 45 million views and counting!).
In this episode, we talk about the death of Jesse’s brother Jordan to suicide when she was just 22. You’ll also hear how Jesse’s complicated relationship with her mother eventually turned into deep love (and funny emoji's!) for the last five years of her mom’s life.
We also talk about Experience Camps’ free summer youth programs, and how working there has turned Jesse’s “loss into leadership.” (Don’t steal her tagline!)
