This week, Firefly owner Tracy Keller chats with Jeremy Schumacher from Wellness with Jer. Tracy shares her unique journey into mental health, her work with trauma and grief, and how she supports women, teens, and those facing perinatal challenges. She also opens up about balancing motherhood, private practice, and self-care — all while building a supportive community and staying grounded through life’s seasons.

***Podcasts about therapy do not replace actual therapy, and listening to a podcast about therapy does not signify a therapeutic relationship.

Polly Sackett sits down with Jeremy Schumacher from Wellness with Jer to share her journey into mental health and how personal experiences — including motherhood, grief, and somatic healing — have shaped her work. They explore how the field has evolved, the value of authenticity and continued growth, and the power of nature, movement, and meaningful connection.

  • Postpartum Wisom Summit

    Postpartum doesn’t just change birthing individuals; it transforms everyone in the family. ❤️

    I’m honored to be part of the Postpartum Wisdom Summit, hosted by Boundless Wellbeing. 20+ experts, clinicians, and parents were brought together to explore what healing and balance truly mean after birth.

    This isn’t only for mothers,  it’s for partners, families, and anyone who wants to understand better how to support the journey of becoming parents.

    You’ll hear conversations that transcend survival, delving into nourishment, communication, identity, and the transformative power of presence.

    ✨ It’s free and open to all.

  • Ask A Therapist

    Have a question about mental health, emotions, relationships, or how the brain and body respond to stress? We’re creating space to explore the topics that matter most — in a real, relatable, and educational way.

    Ask a Therapist is your chance to submit general mental health questions you'd love a therapist's perspective on.

    We’re here to offer insight and guidance — but please remember this isn’t a substitute for therapy. We won’t be answering personal or case-specific questions (those are best saved for your own therapist).

    Ready to submit a question? We might feature it in an upcoming blog, video, or live chat!
