In a first of its kind interview, Jenny interviews her mom to find out how she healed from a traumatic brain injury more than 40 years ago when Jeanette Anchondo was pregnant with Jenny.
In a logging accident when she was three months pregnant, Jeanette suffered a fractured skull, a broken shoulder, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, nerve damage and, most impactful, a traumatic brain injury.
She was told she'd never work again, never drive again, and that the prognosis for her Jenny wasn't great. She's proven a lot of people wrong over the years and in this episode, she details what kept her going and how she learned to read and write again, went back to work and went on to have two more successful pregnancies.
