In this episode, I speak with Dr. Jessica Lederhausen, a dentist and public health advocate, about how she is rewriting her mother and grandmother codes, embodying her values, and publishing her recent book, Oral.
Jessica’s journey of mothering is distinctly different from the norm. She embraces being different from what’s expected of a “normal” mom and imparts the importance of maintaining personal values to her children. Even as a grandmother, she fully embodies the role of grandmother that works for her, which isn’t the same as the stereotypical spoiling-the-grandchildren one!
Jessica shares how she navigated the differing mother codes of Sweden and the U.S. We discuss what it’s like to grow up in a culture that doesn’t outwardly discuss values but picks them up by the behavior of the people around you. We then discuss her latest book, Oral, and the accompanying course she recently launched, each a significant birth in her life!
