Sheinelle Jones on Resilience, Motherhood, and the Lessons That Change You
TODAY Host Sheinelle Jones spent years interviewing mothers of children with extraordinary needs for her new book, Through Mom’s Eyes, and what she found changed her.
After a year that tested her own resilience, Sheinelle sits with Maria, her good friend and NBC colleague, for a brand new Life Above the Noise conversation to share what those mothers taught her about love, strength, and the parts of parenthood no one talks enough about.
Take a listen below, and let us know what you take away from their touching conversation in the comments.
