Episode 90 | Jenny’s Story: Head-Conjoined Twins and Adoption

Today I’m introducing you to Jenny Hull, a single mom to Josie who just turned 20 years old.  Jenny is also the CEO and founder of a nonprofit organization called Once Upon a Room.  They are changing the game for kids in hospitals, and we’ll get into all the amazing things they do toward the end of our conversation.  Jenny is one of the most comforting and compassionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of talking with, and her family story is unlike any other - from head-conjoined twins given less than a 1% chance of survival, to adoption, to starting a nonprofit with the help of two incredible teenagers.  I can’t wait to share this story with you!
