Between the Joneses

About Between the Joneses

Between the Joneses is a podcast hosted by sisters Jessica and Kasey — two everyday people having real, honest conversations about life, healing, and growth. We didn’t come from much, but we’ve lived a lot. Between growing up in sports — especially volleyball — and navigating life outside the court, we’ve learned powerful lessons through discipline, failure, teamwork, resilience, and starting over. This podcast is where we share those lessons in real-life language, not coach-speak. Some episodes are funny. Some are deep. Most are just honest check-ins about mental health, relationships, boundaries, confidence, handling pressure, and finding more peace in everyday life. We talk about what helped us, what didn’t, and what we wish we knew sooner. If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or like you’re trying to figure life out without a playbook — this space is for you. You don’t have to have it all together to grow.

   Episode 20: SafeSport Part II: Physical and Emotional Misconduct

   SafeSport Series: Part II — Emotional & Physical Misconduct What have we normalized in sports that we should be questioning? In Part II of our SafeSport series, we take a closer look at emotional and physical misconduct, the behaviors that can cause lasting harm, and the culture that sometimes allows them to go unchallenged. Can we become a little more curious instead of expecting everyone to fit into a box? Can we listen without immediately judging, challenge the phrase “that’s just how sports are,” and recognize that what was once considered acceptable may not be healthy or safe? Curiosity doesn't mean excusing harmful behavior. It means asking better questions, challenging old assumptions, listening to athletes, and creating space for honest conversations while maintaining clear boundaries and accountability. Every athlete deserves to feel safe, respected, and heard. It's time to move beyond “that's how we've always done it” and work together to create a culture where athlete well-being comes first. Let's keep the conversation going. Because safer sports start with awareness, courage, and a willingness to do better. #SafeSport #AthleteSafety #YouthSports #SportsCulture #MentalHealthMatters #AthleteWellbeing #Coaching #Leadership #SportsParenting #EndAbuse #ProtectOurAthletes #EmotionalAbuse #PhysicalAbuse #Accountability #SpeakUp #BreakTheCycle #HealthyBoundaries #SportsCommunity #ChangeTheCulture #ListenAndLearn

   SafeSport- A Three Part Series

   SafeSport: Part One — Grooming What does grooming actually look like in youth sports? In Part One of our SafeSport series, we cover the warning signs, boundary testing, special treatment, secrecy, online communication, and how grooming can happen gradually—often involving someone a child and family already trust. Most importantly, we talk about how parents can recognize concerns, protect their kids, and respond without jumping to conclusions. Because keeping kids safe starts with knowing what to look for. #SafeSport #GroomingAwareness #ChildSafety #YouthSports #AthleteSafety #ProtectYoungAthletes #YouthSportsSafety #SportsSafety #ChildProtection #PreventChildAbuse #ChildAbusePrevention #GroomingPrevention #RecognizeGrooming #OnlineSafety #DigitalSafety #AthleteProtection #SafeSportAwareness #SportsParents #YouthSportsParents #ParentsInSports #CoachingSafety #CoachAthleteBoundaries #HealthySportsCulture #Safeguarding #AthleteWellbeing #ProtectOurKids #KeepKidsSafe #SpeakUp #BetweenTheJoneses

   Willie Blake: I'm dyslexic, and I'm awesome!

   In this episode, we sit down with Willie Blake, a high-performance coach, entrepreneur, and advocate for people who have spent too much of their lives feeling different, behind, or somehow “not enough.” Diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, Willie grew up believing he was broken. For years, he tried to catch up, hide his struggles, please everyone around him, and chase perfection—all while constantly second-guessing himself. Eventually, he realized that surviving wasn’t enough. He had to stop trying to become someone else and learn how to lead with who he actually was. Willie opens up about the hidden impact of dyslexia, perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, and the pressure to prove yourself. We talk about what it really means to feel “behind,” how self-doubt can shape the decisions we make, and why getting unstuck often starts with taking one small step forward. Today, Willie helps dyslexic professionals and entrepreneurs turn self-doubt into confidence, overthinking into clarity, and stuckness into momentum. In this conversation, he shares practical tools and lessons from his own experience—and reminds us that sometimes the thing we spent years trying to hide can become one of the most important parts of our story. If you’ve ever felt behind, struggled with confidence, overthought your next move, or wondered whether there was something wrong with you, this conversation is for you.
