S26 Ep15: WCN Presents: [Jenn Holman] There is a Softer Life Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

*Content Warning: infidelity, physical abuse, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, and murder.

Jenn Holman is a survivor, mother, and faithful family woman living in Idaho by way of Southern California. Jenn’s path first crossed with Amy Chesler’s over eighteen years ago when she began dating Amy’s brother. Jenn has chosen to address him as Jesse in this episode, although Amy referred to her brother as ‘Rory’ in Something Was Wrong Season 7. Jenn’s relationship with Jesse began a year and a few months prior to Amy’s mother’s murder. Although Amy was privy to a portion of what Jenn will share in this conversation, some of the more explicit details of the abuse Jenn faced evaded them as a family. Through this interview, Amy also learned a lot more about the night her mother was murdered. Amy is grateful for Jenn’s bravery in sharing, and is personally deeply grateful she was willing to divulge so much about her experiences. It may have taken Amy & Jenn nearly eighteen years to have this conversation, but as Hippocrates said, “Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”
