Jessy explained that the feeling surfaced after they tied the knot and welcomed their first child, Rosie.

"Dati ha, may times na, oo. Mag-asawa na kami nun, and nung nagka-Rosie na rin tayo, nung bagong panganak pa ako," Jessy shared. "Kasi diba, syempre kapag mommy ka na, of course it goes the same sa mga tatay but somehow sa society natin, ang hirap pag babae. It felt like I was doing everything, parang jack of all trades. Kailangan lahat alam ko," she added.

The actress-host opened up about the heavy weight of societal standards placed on modern working mothers, explaining how trying to manage every role at once took an emotional toll on her as well.

"I'm expected to be a good wife, to be a good mom, but also I have to share sa expenses, I have to work, I have to show everyone na I've bounced back, na sexy ako ulit ganto ganyan, na I'm still relevant as an artist or as a public figure," Jessy bared. "So parang, not only sayo, sa lahat ng aspects I felt taken for granted kasi parang before, I didn't know how to manage my emotions, to be calm in the middle of everything kaya in-open up ko yun sa kanya. It's like I have to juggle everything alone."
