Happy go lucky Jenna never wanted to be a burden to anyone. She spent years suppressing grief, a grief almost no one new she carried. But when Jenna's grandmother passed away in 2023, she knew she couldn't continue to suffer at the expense of her own quality of life any longer.
Jenna leaned into discomfort, contacted a therapist, and opened herself to the grieving process.
In this episode, Jenna embraces the dissonance of the human experience by sharing the unconditional love of her family while acknowledging her father's addiction, harmful choices, and his accidental fatal overdose in 2007.
Jenna embodies the spirit of Uniquely Qualified in embracing grief, "doing the work" in therapy, and reminding fellow children of addicts that they are not alone.
SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers from the Harry Potter and A Court of Thorns and Roses are a topic of discussion in this episode.
