In the beginning, Jenna was having some audio complications, but we got them taken care of, so please forgive us for that. Jenna is AMAZING. She grew up as the "Golden Child". Her narcissistic mom lived a life with a revolving door for men to come and go, drinking, and much more. Jenna has overcome so much and is pure inspiration and a light to others. Jenna stopped the cycle now that she herself is a mom. Jenna is without question one of my all-time favorite guests to date.
