Meet Jamie Kolnick — mom of three, founder of Jam with Jamie (a nationwide kids' music company with 100+ performers in 10 cities), and creator of Little Jam Fest, Miami's family music festival. We talk chaos with three kids, building a business from the ground up, navigating grief and loss as a teenager, autoimmune burnout, and finding your mom community through an app called Peanut.
