How Creator Jess Creelman Turned Her TikTok Into A Radio

Grocery prices are out of control, everyone feels the squeeze, and social media somehow still expects us to live in spotless, perfectly styled homes. So we brought in Jess Creelman, a Halifax creator and new Bell Media voice on Virgin Radio and Move 100, to talk about what real life actually looks like right now, and why being unpolished can be the most useful thing you put online. From budget grocery hauls to secondhand furniture, Jess breaks down how showing the truth built trust, plus what viewers really react to when the numbers hit the screen. We also get personal. Jess talks about becoming a mom at 17, the stigma that follows young moms, and how parenting changes when you grow up alongside your kid. She shares what it was like coming out later in life, falling in love with her wife Katie, and building a home that doesn’t try to impress anyone, it just has to work. If you care about honest parenting conversations, LGBTQ+ family stories in Canada, and how to keep communication open with teenagers while still setting boundaries, this one will stick with you. Then we head into the behind-the-scenes of her mom and daughter show Like Mother Like Daughter, why Abby helped create it, and how it became a place for both of them to tell the story. We also talk sobriety and social pressure, including how non-alcoholic beer and mocktails can help you stay connected without slipping back into old habits.
