Flexible host makes for meaningful conversation!

As Jennifer’s guest I appreciated her willingness to let the interview chart its own course. It’s a risk that can render a big payoff, and did. Jennifer is open, insightful and generous. I am grateful for the opportunity to tell my story of inspired grief.
