What's left after that kind of fire is a lot of mourning, and Jenea is learning to tend what remains with stillness, slower days, and care for her own nervous system.\n\nThis episode is presented by Learn to Swim Collective, a community of business leaders and advisors building wealth around a life worth enjoying.
