S2 | E2 | Jessi Bennion

In this episode of the Big Sky Five, we are excited to talk with Jessi Bennion. Jessi is a person that wears many hats - she is a Wife, a Mother, a photographer, a blogger AND is just about to finish up her PhD! 

This conversation is filled with so much helpful content for people in all walks of life. We talked about the benefits of focusing on your passions, but not taking yourself too seriously, why it’s so important to ‘find your people’ (and how to do that), as well as some very helpful advice for anyone going through a trauma. We also discovered one of Jessi’s favorite podcasts. The answer will surprise you! 

More about Jessi: 

Jessi Bennion was born and raised in Missoula. She graduated from the University of Montana and met her husband, Jon, while he was in law school and she was working on her MPA. 

After graduate school, Jessi was a lecturer of American Government and Public Administration and started a non-profit helping pregnant women. In 2009, everything changed when their son, Jack, was born. He is a joy and a light.  

Currently, Jessi is finishing her PhD in Political Science and having fun with her side projects - interviewing Montana women for Women Under the Big Sky and serving on West Mont’s Board of Directors. When she’s not working, Jessi loves coffee with friends, a good book, and spending time with Jon and Jack at their home in Clancy.
