Summary
In this episode, we're joined by one of my favorite people, Jessica Janzen, who trusted the nudge to talk about how to open up when your world is falling apart, what it was like to get the news that her baby boy was suffering a life-threatening illness, and how she managed to bring the joy during the most heartbreaking season of her whole life. (You're going to want to grab tissues for this one -- you might even prefer to watch the VIDEO of this show -- and you can also expect to belly laugh feeling like you're already best friends with her too.)
