Comedian and actress Sheryl Underwood talks with Jennifer about her Mix & Mingle Tour.
Also stopping by are Holly Allgood and Jamie Lynn Dorr from Tupelo, Mississippi. Jamie’s adopted son, Bowen, is on the autism spectrum and was born with a rare metabolic disorder that requires constant care to prevent serious neurological damage. In 2023, Bowen joined a preschool for kids with special needs, where his teacher Holly quickly became a source of strength and friendship for Jamie. When Bowen’s condition worsened and he needed a liver transplant in early 2024, Holly made a life-changing decision — she offered to be his donor.

Plus, Jennifer welcomes the Sterner sisters, Kara and twins Alisha and Liz, from Macomb, Michigan, who became nurses in honor of their late mother, Kim, who passed away from appendix cancer when they were children. While their mom was undergoing chemotherapy, the sisters (then 10 and 11) took on the responsibility of helping her with everyday tasks and making her comfortable. They credit seeing the nurses care for their mom with sparking their desire to pursue careers in nursing.
