“I'm fine”, a typical phrase used in response to being asked how one is doing whether true or not. Others have said its one of the biggest (white) lies anyone could say! Jessica's passion to help others is driven by the desire to provide a safe place to express what is not fine with hope the typical phrase will become the truth.
