In this week's episode, we sit down with author, mother, and fellow podcaster Jessica Fein, whose journey through loss and resilience is deeply meaningful. Jessica has endured the heartbreaking losses of her mother, father, two sisters, and her 17-year-old daughter, Dalia—each shaping her understanding of grief, love, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
Her memoir, Breathtaking: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes, offers a deeply moving look at life with Dalia, who passed away from MERRF syndrome, and explores the depths of loss, resilience, and the search for meaning. Featured in The New York Times, Newsweek, The Boston Globe, and HuffPost, Jessica’s work sheds light on the power of storytelling and the beauty that can coexist with grief.
Despite experiencing unimaginable loss, Jessica walks through the world with all the grace and has made it her mission in finding purpose in pain and connection in sharing her story. We are honored to have connected with her and it's our privilege to share her wisdom, strength, and perspective with this conversation.Bottom line, even in loss, love endures.
