Before embodying everything that is most unique and refined about the Parisian woman, Jeanne was first the daughter of restaurant owners on the right bank, raised among bistrot tables, fascinated by a mother with a strong sense of femininity who managed everything with ease. It was in this free and joyful childhood, surrounded by love and trust, that Jeanne grew well and quickly, becoming, almost despite herself, the icon of her own life, and then of her own clothing brand @rouje, always with the certainty that she would one day become a mother. 

But when Jeanne met this wonderful man with whom she quickly talked about having children, he soon confronted her with the burden of a terrible family inheritance that inevitably forced her to rethink her certainties. For in Edouard’s family, there loomed the risk of Huntington’s Disease, a rare and incurable genetic neurodegenerative disorder that strikes some members of the same family... at random.  

But how can one imagine a future when the man you love might not have one? And how can one consider having a baby without risking that he might also be condemned? 

In this episode, Jeanne will tell you everything about this love story, too quickly confronted with decisions that no one ever wants to have to make. She will share the emotional roller coasters they had to endure, the dilemmas, the waiting, the reason battling with the heart, and the destiny to which we sometimes want to entrust our happiness. It is a story that could have had so many different outcomes, and two lovers who might never have had a child. But it seems that these two were born under a lucky star, one that allows them to overcome the storms of pregnancy and postpartum, a star that protects them and their baby, and will continue to shine for a long time to come.
