In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Jamie, founder of Self Care for a Cause and Matthew James Heart & Home (MJHH). Jamie shares how handcrafting small-batch skincare while in law school became a grounding practice that supported her mental health during her brother Matt’s battle with addiction.

After losing Matt on Christmas Eve in 2014, Jamie was faced with the unimaginable—grieving a sibling while navigating the complexities of addiction-related loss. Through her grief, she transformed pain into purpose, creating MJHH, a self-care brand rooted in sustainability, intention, and healing.

We explore how self-care can be a survival tool, how sibling loss is often overlooked, and how honoring a loved one’s legacy can become a form of ongoing connection. This is not just a story about skincare—it’s a conversation about grief, advocacy, remembrance, and hope.
