Speaker 1: Bonus episode one Girl Tribe. Way back in the beginning
Speaker 1: of the podcast, you might remember all the people in Akworth,
Speaker 1: Georgia who supported Jennifer when they found out that Spencer
Speaker 1: had been arrested. They were neighbors and close friends, people
Speaker 1: that jen had met through the wine bar in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood I kept her afloat during her worst days, and
Speaker 1: as the podcast was wrapping up, Jennifer invited five of
Speaker 1: these women to her home where they relived some of
Speaker 1: the moments behind the scenes. Thank you guys so much
Speaker 1: for being here tonight, because you know this journey started
Speaker 1: with you guys too. You guys picked me up and
Speaker 1: just carried me over the finished line of every single
Speaker 1: I just kind of want to go around and say
Speaker 1: some things that like really stick out in my brain
Speaker 1: about each of you. Jill, Yes, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about your reaction when I called you to tell you.
Speaker 1: Jill was one of the first people Jennifer called when
Speaker 1: Spencer was arrested, but Jill was out of town with
Speaker 1: her husband, Duncan, taking care of their granddaughters in North
Speaker 1: Carolina hours away. You were like, Duncan, go and get her.
Speaker 1: So first thing I said, because I knew I couldn't
Speaker 1: leave because I had our granddaughters and Duncan doesn't know
Speaker 1: how to deal with little girls. And I said, go
Speaker 1: get her, and he just looked at me with his
Speaker 1: hand I'll never forget his hands open. He goes, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do I do with her? Because he knows you,
Speaker 1: and what the fuck am I supposed to do with
Speaker 1: Jennifer by myself? And I was like, I don't care,
Speaker 1: just take her. To the house because I was so
Speaker 1: afraid that the news media or somebody would find out
Speaker 1: your address. Then luckily, Danielle showed up and everybody showed up,
Speaker 1: and you know, I was like, Okay, we're good, We're good, Danielle,
Speaker 1: thank you for answering the phone first of all, which
Speaker 1: was like the most unusual thing. Danielle owned her own
Speaker 1: day spa and apt worth and would often be serving
Speaker 1: clients for long blocks of time, but this time she
Speaker 1: picked up. I was in the middle of doing a
Speaker 1: facial and I stepped out of my treatment room and thought,
Speaker 1: something's not right. And I looked down and my phone
Speaker 1: was ringing, and I said, are you okay? And I
Speaker 1: said I need you to come here. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if you flew, but you were there in two seconds.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do, and I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: didn't either. It was easy for me because we're friends
Speaker 1: and I wanted to be there for you. I just
Speaker 1: didn't ever have to ask for anything. You know, we
Speaker 1: were sitting on the porch Kim one day, and it
Speaker 1: must have been just a day after I found out
Speaker 1: how many women there were. Yeah, and I just looked
Speaker 1: over at you and said, I think I need to
Speaker 1: go to the doctor. I think we both kind of
Speaker 1: realized at the same time that you might have gotten
Speaker 1: something from him. You said, I'll make the appointment, and
Speaker 1: you picked me up, took me. It's just those things
Speaker 1: that like you don't have the strength to do because
Speaker 1: you can barely get through the day. Debrah. Debrah experienced
Speaker 1: her own heartbreak during Jennifer's journey. It was different than Gens,
Speaker 1: but very difficult. They leaned on each other. You saw
Speaker 1: the day today progress I did. Look how far we've
Speaker 1: come from sitting on that porch just being as positive
Speaker 1: as we could. Today is a good day to have
Speaker 1: a good day. We said that every day day for
Speaker 1: years and now look we live across the stream from
Speaker 1: each other. Just think about the past four years and
Speaker 1: everything that's happened. Yeah, all of us have gone through something.
Speaker 1: We've all had family stuff or whatever happened, But no
Speaker 1: one's world has been turned upside down the way. No, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, not even close. You are standing
Speaker 1: on your own two feet. You know, this awesome has
Speaker 1: this great outlook on life. I'm just so proud of you.
Speaker 1: This is why I left LA and moved here, this
Speaker 1: was going to happen, and it just couldn't have happened
Speaker 1: in a better place. Jen realized she lost a husband
Speaker 1: and gained a tribe, So I thank you for that,
Speaker 1: but sorry. We're growing old together. I cannot wait.
