Every year around Valentine's Day, we do a "Love in HD" show. This year, Heather and Nathan Wilmoth joined me to share their love story and how that love fuels not only their day-to-day life, but also their advocacy efforts.

For more information about Susanna's podcast and health/wellness coaching, please visit her website here.

Susanna Smith, MPH, is a health & wellness coach, who trained through Duke University Health & Well-Being Program. Susanna specializes in coaching people who live at risk because years ago when she found out about her own genetic risks, she needed a coach to help her learn how to live with difficult genetic information. She never found that person so she trained to become that person for other people.
