Friend, listen, it is can be rough out here in these motherHOOD streets. We are carrying a full load for a role that is often thankless, but yet we show up every day. We're expected to be moms, partners, co-workers, friends, and everything else. Oh, let's not forget we have to put on lotion, drink water, and work outIn. The question becomes: how Sway??
On today's episode, I sit down with my girl, Jem Chambers-Black, to discuss how we are managing mommy burnout. Not to mention this episode was done with the computer dying, a sick kid at home, and of course, an episode is not complete without some type of shenanigans happening. This is motherhood in real life! LOL!
Jem cannot say that reading and writing came naturally. Rather, these interests were inspired by pizza. At seven, her school offered free Pizza Hut and Shakey’s Pizza coupons as a reward for reading books, and Jem was sold. Eventually, the books held more interest than the pizza ever did. From reading, writing soon followed.
Born in Washington, D.C., but now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and three kids. She spent more than a decade as an Assistant Director for film and television. She is now a literary agent for the number one literary agency in the U.S., Andrea Brown Literary Agency, where she reps clients both in children and adult literature.
When Jem is not reading or editing–which doesn’t leave many hours in the day–she will most likely be found binge-watching something on Netflix or Disney Plus with her family.

She also Jemiscoe across all the social media platforms.
