About the Podcast
Working mothers are constantly handed a choice: serious career or present mother. Ambition or family. Push harder or burn out. Pick a lane.
Rewritten rejects that framing entirely.
Hosted by longtime friends Jess Wass and Teresa Sweeney, two successful working mothers who started in the same place and took very different paths, Rewritten is real, specific conversations about building a life on your own terms. Not balance. Not compromise. A third option: define what you actually want, and go build that.
Because the question was never which half of yourself to sacrifice. It was always: what does your version of a full life look like?

Ep 101 - How Did We Get Here?
Every conversation has a starting point. For Jess and Teresa, it's a scholarship interview weekend bus ride at Washington University in St. Louis — two women who would go on to build very different careers, end up in very different versions of success, and somehow stay friends for over 20 years through all of it.
This is the origin story. Why they started Rewritten, how they met, and what their paths looked like from a business school hallway in St. Louis to where they are now.

Ep 102 - How Do You Define Success?
Jess and Teresa have both built careers that look like success from the outside. But somewhere along the way, each of them started asking a harder question: successful by whose definition?
In this episode, they get honest about how their ideas of success have shifted over the years, what they've had to let go of to make room for what actually matters, and why chasing the next milestone is a game that never ends.
Ep 103 - What Is Your Body Telling You?
We all know we're supposed to "take care of ourselves." But what does that actually look like when you're a working mom juggling a career, a family, and approximately zero spare time?
In this episode, Jess and Teresa get specific. Not about the ideal morning routine you're never going to do, but about the real, messy, personal journeys that led each of them to finally figure out how to fuel themselves — and what that made possible.
