In the spirit of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, we wanted to share a beautiful story about a local mom in Weston, Julia Kosinski. Mom to three little ones, Julia was diagnosed with breast cancer when her second son (now 5 years old) was just 5 months old. After her own journey with chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, immunotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, and breast reconstruction. she struggled to connect with her new body, especially when it came to being carefree at the beach and pool, and could not find elevated and youthful swimwear that made her comfortable. Recognizing this, she decided to make her own, and with a tremendous amount of input and try-on sessions with many women, resme was born! In addition to a higher neckline, extended underarm coverage, and UPF50+ fabric, the swimwear has a unique padded top that smooths, compresses, and conceals any areas of asymmetry. In her spare time, Julia loves game night and hikes with her family, can not survive without dried mango and chocolate chip cookie batter, and swears by Kari Gran Face Balm. Julia’s story is one of survival, resilience, and entrepreneurship; we hope you enjoy It!

Mom to three little ones, Amanda moved to Westport three years ago, but grew up coming here all her life to visit family! Amanda is the co-founder of City Psychology Center (CPC), a
clinical psychology practice with offices in New York City and Westport. CPC specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy, and other evidence-based therapies, for clients struggling with a variety of mental health and mood symptoms across the lifespan, particularly related to reproductive and perinatal mental health. This includes women struggling with mood and anxiety symptoms during (and after) the reproductive process (something 1 in 5 are likely to develop), such as infertility problems, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and during the postpartum period. Having experienced her own challenges during – and post pregnancy, Amanda’s primary goal is to help women during this period and reduce the stigma and shame that often goes hand in hand with It. She shares her own story with us, why she loves the work she does, and her goals in helping others go through what can be a very scary and emotional time.

Kelly Stafford may be best known in the public eye as the at-times outspoken wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, but she’s also a busy mom of four girls (7-year-old twins as well as a 5-year-old and a 4-year-old), and host of the popular podcast The Morning After. Like many moms, she says she’s just trying to keep all the balls in the air. “I’ve always wanted a big family but I never realized how much work a big family was. The only thing that gets me through is staying ahead of it all, like laying out the kids clothes and packing the lunches the night before,” says Kelly. We spoke to Kelly about her family life, including her infertility journey, perspective on youth sports, and more. Plus, what she thinks would surprise people about being an NFL wife.
