Jeanette opens up about acting, motherhood, family, cultural expectations and what it means to break the mould while still honouring where you come from.This episode is a celebration of Italian-Australian culture, family love, loud conversations, food around the table, and the stories that connect generations.Brought to you by Shining Light
