Synopsis: In the midst of creating the perfect life of the husband, kids, house, and dog… not to mention keeping up her appearance, Jess has lost herself. Like many busy, working moms she has fallen out of touch with her identity, giving all of her energy to everyone else.

One evening after another long day of crossing items off her to-do list, Jess is approaching her doorstep with groceries, when she suddenly trips, falls and spills milk all over herself. She peels herself off the ground in tears and it hits her… she can’t take it any more.
