Brand new mom Jacque Wilke speaks with Katie and Melanie about what it's like taking on the tour de force lead in What the Constitution Means to Me while figuring out parenting for the first time. Jacque shares the pressure she put on herself to be a supermom and the liberation she found when she embraced how motherhood had rearranged her. From learning her lines during stroller walks to allowing herself to be less than perfect and a bit exhausted, Jacque digs deep into an incredible role which means even more to her now that she's mother to a daughter. With effervescent humor, Jacque takes us from the rehearsal room to story time at the library and reminds us why coffee is the best thing that's ever happened to working moms.
