She's been Featured in Forbes & Entrepreneur as a visionary for women and non-binary people in the podcasting world.  I met Jessica Kupferman at PODFEST–a big podcasters convention in Florida a couple of years ago. I was attending one of her sessions and I was struck by her honesty about the challenges she was still experiencing years after her daughter's fatal overdose. As a therapist I'm always thinking about how we survive the unthinkable. What are the qualities that keep some of us persevering while others can't? The combination of her enormous drive and success and her ability to endure the unthinkable made me want to talk more in depth. Jessica reflects on what got her through her daughter's death and how her successful Substack gives her an opportunity to bring humor to any situation. Find out more at JessicaKupferman.com.
