Ep. 29 Jenna McCarthy: How her TED Talk changed her life

“Like you do when you get yourself into these situations, you drink a lot of wine, and you say, I’m just going to do the best I can do. I’m going to get out of my comfort zone. Who cares?! It’s 500 people in the audience, if I humiliate myself, if I trip…they’ll have a good laugh, and it will be water under the bridge; and my life will go on.” - Jenna McCarthy, The Moment HQ podcast Meet Author, speaker, relationship expert Jenna McCarthy.
