In today’s episode, Stephen and Dixie get to know Jessica Pelatt! She is the proud mother of two very energetic twins, a photographer, and a teacher. Jessica tells her story of losing her husband unexpectedly and walks us through her process with grief. It's an episode with a heavy story to tell, but it highlights the fact that hard things happen to "normal" people. Don't let that scare you away, Jessica is interesting and fun! And we even have a short interview with her kids in "Know Normal People Junior"! We hope you enjoy getting to know Jessica as much as we did!
