What happens when your worst nightmare becomes your real life?
Tennyson Jacobson lived through the unimaginable—fighting off a violent intruder in her home and ultimately killing him to protect her family. Her story made national headlines (CBS, NBC, Fox, CrossFit, Your Worst Nightmare) and now she’s telling the full story for the first time in her memoir, The Mother of All Days: The True Story of A Fatal Breakin and the Unexpected Path To Healing.
This conversation isn’t just about the trauma—it’s about the winding path of healing, how intuitive whispers saved her life (twice), and what happens when you stop ignoring the nudge to speak up. Tenny’s approach to healing is personal, unexpected, and powerful—and we get into it all here.
