Jess Being Honest

Life is messy, unpredictable, emotional, and sometimes a little ridiculous, so we might as well talk about it!

Welcome to Jess Being Honest, the podcast where Halifax radio host, content creator, professional yapper, and chronic oversharer Jess Creelman gets personal about life and everything that comes with it.

From becoming a mom at 17 to navigating marriage with her wife (who she’s known since she was 12!), raising a teenager, sobriety, mental health, friendships, and figuring out adulthood (because seriously, when are we supposed to have that figured out?), Jess has lived a little, learned a lot, and has plenty of stories to tell.

She’s an open book, wears her heart on her sleeve, has approximately 47 tabs open in her brain all at once, and can go from laughing uncontrollably to crying over something sentimental in a matter of seconds.

One minute she’s sharing something deeply personal, the next she’s passionately dissecting reality TV drama, telling a story that probably didn’t need to be told, or going off on a completely unrelated tangent and forgetting what she was talking about in the first place.

Some conversations will be hilarious, some will be uncomfortable, and others might get unexpectedly deep. Expect oversharing, questionable decisions, unsolicited opinions, emotional moments, a little chaos, and the occasional guest who’s brave enough to join in.

Think of it as hanging out in Jess’s bedroom, catching up with a friend who has absolutely no idea how to tell a short story, asks way too many questions, and somehow manages to make every conversation an adventure.

No filter, no small talk, just Jess being honest.

Dear Jess & Abby, First and foremost I want to say congratulations on your podcast! You both are showcasing to so many people who have been in your shoes & position before that our past does pre-determine our future. That we all can come out of the other side as a better person and a dark day doesn't mean it's a bad life. I remember finding your Mom's videos last year when she was buying her "new-to-her" car with her dad and thought it was so sweet and even since then even though I haven't met either of you, I think the world of your little family and wish nothing but all the success and health in the world to all three of you. I will leave you with this question for both of you to answer: What do you want & where do tou see one another in 5 years & 10 years from now? So much love, Trent
