“My greatest line from every any talk I've ever heard was: somebody told me to pull up my socks and I looked down and I wasn't wearing socks.”

In this gripping episode of 'Life Unscripted', Jennifer opens up about her intense struggles with anxiety and panic attacks that held her back both socially and professionally.
