Episode 52, From Pages to Purpose with Mila Maxwell

In this heartfelt episode of Jess Saying, I sit downwith mother, and volunteer firefighter Mila Maxwell, author of Finding Lady Baltimore. Mila shares the deeply personal story of growing up alongside her sister with disabilities—and how that experience shaped not only her book, but her approach to motherhood, business, and life. Together, they unpack the emotional weight of memoir writing, the resilience it takes to self-publish, and what it means to wear multiple hats in a world that never slows down. Whether you’re a writer, a caregiver, or a woman juggling more roles than there are hours in the day, this episode reminds you of the power of your story.
