In this episode, I have my friend, Jenna Walsh, on. She came into my family’s life when she started dating my brother-in-law, who she is now married to. We discuss how she lost her Mom and her Dad in under 2 years, testing positive for the BRCA2 gene and opting to get a double mastectomy, how she supported my brother-in-law in his early years of grief and how she shows up for him in that way, and how we have become a blended family over the years.
