Meredith O'Brien started her career as a newspaper reporter and investigative journalist before transitioning into an author and teacher. She stopped by the Jam Bunker to talk with Brad about her fourth book, Uncomfortably Numb: a memoir, which chronicled the life-altering impact of her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.
