Description

In this deeply personal episode, Jessica opens up about one of the most defining chapters of her life. She shares the painful story of losing her father to brain cancer in 1995—believed to be linked to Agent Orange exposure—and facing her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis just five weeks later. With raw emotion and powerful reflection, Jessica explores how grief, trauma, and resilience shaped her journey from a hurting child into the strong, courageous woman she is today.


This isn’t just a story about loss—it’s about survival, identity, and the healing power of sharing your truth.
