For most of her life, Jen Curran liked to take it easy. She loved sketch comedy, riding in her red convertible, and dropping by JCPenney to check out the sales. But her easy-breezy lifestyle was shattered overnight for reasons she never saw coming: just months after giving birth, Jen found out she might die. Jen walks Stephanie through her winding medical journey, filled with secretive doctors and dangerously misguided medical advice. Now living years longer than she expected, Jen also shares how she's learning to move past surviving and onto thriving. Follow Stephanie on Instagram at @wittelstephanie.

Who's to blame for the rise and fall of HQ Trivia?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with dear friend and comedian Jen Curran about the seemingly overnight success of the viral internet gameshow sensation HQ Trivia and its equally rapid downfall.

Who's to blame for the demise of La Voisin? This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes a dear friend (and potential real life witch!) Jen Curran to discuss the Affair of the Poisons which ultimately led to the execution of the French “wise woman” La Voisin. Are witches real or were they the product of the religious mystique at the time? Could the Criminal Magical Underworld of Paris take the fall for this one? And why is No Social Services for Women up on the Alarmist Board? Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith help crack the case.

Many of us face burnout at some point in our careers, and that's especially true, unfortunately, in the lives of career public servants and aid workers. Today we'll speak with someone who took her observations of inefficient systems and used that as a foundation to build a travel business with a specific aim toward public benefit, and we'll dive a bit deeper than usual on travel personas and the wild diversity of experiences offered by the country of Botswana. Jen Curran is the owner of Globe & Tribe Expeditions and Pith & Pearl Africa. Before starting her travel companies, she traversed the globe for almost two decades as an epidemiologist and humanitarian aid worker. After some serious burnout, she forayed into the travel world with a keen eye on connecting curious, well-intentioned and intrepid travellers (and their tourism dollars) to some of the world's most beautiful and remote destinations.
It all starts with communication and solidly set expectations. From there it just becomes a matter of finalizing legal formalities. It might sound overly simple, but it's certainly an area plenty of agencies get wrong. The bigger question is, what should you do after the ink is dry and your first order of business is needed? That's a question Jen Curran, Owner of Johnson Stevens Curran, answers detailing her experience taking over the family business.

After a kidney doctor told her to simply “lose weight” to resolve an ongoing, undiagnosed medical issue, comedian and writer Jen Curran decided it was time to get a second opinion. A kidney biopsy, a bone marrow biopsy, and countless phone calls later, Jen finally had her answer. “My brain immediately started going to the videos I'm going to have to make for [my daughter] to watch when she's 16 and 30 and graduates high school. I'm going to have to sit down and write so many letters for her to open on different birthdays. I'm just imagining that I'm not going to live much longer.” Jen talks about what it was like in her first year after diagnosis, raising a newborn baby and going through treatment at the same time.

Comedian Jen Curran tells the story of how her seemingly normal pregnancy turned into a “really scary situation” overnight. After doctors detected abnormally high levels of protein in her urine and her baby started measuring small, Jen was diagnosed with preeclampsia, a not-too-uncommon condition that’s supposed to “magically” go away after birth. But after her daughter Rose was born, and the high levels of protein were still there, it soon became clear that there was something much more serious going on.

Here are follow-up questions answered by Dr. Jennie Johnson, an infectious disease doctor, and our guest from Parenting in Pandemic #1. Question 1: I would love to know about cloth masks, whether they can work (for mere humans or healthcare workers), and if we should wear them when we go out.Here are the new recommendations from the CDChttps://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover.html: CDC continues to study the spread and effects of the novel coronavirus across the United States. We now know from recent studies that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms ("asymptomatic") and that even those who eventually develop symptoms ("pre-symptomatic") can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms. This means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity—for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms. In light of this new evidence, CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.Also from NPR:https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/03/826996154/coronavirus-faqs-is-a-homemade-mask-effective-and-whats-the-best-way-to-wear-oneAn article and video from The Guardian on how to make homemade masks. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/06/how-to-make-no-sew-face-mask-coronavirusUseful tips from the NY Times on what fabrics work best for homemade masks. https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-homemade-mask-material-DIY-face-mask-ppe.htmlQuestion #2 I'd like to know more about possible treatments on the horizon, especially the Mt Sinai antibody tests. Is there any hope that those things will really help to slow this thing down anytime soon? Or at least slowdown/curb the death rate?There are a number...
