Jeanie Bergen, LA based TV writer, shares how she lost her mom when she was 4 years old to breast cancer, became her older sister's caretaker when she was just 20 years old and that survival mode can last decades. She shares how the medicine of asking for help and learning to trust people again was her savior. And she is the second guest to get me to cry thanks to her own personal generosity toward me, so this is the episode to listen to! This is a lesson in resilience and how you can go through the craziest scenarios on your bingo card, and still come out swinging!
