Hello! Today, we speak to Tessa James. Tessa is an Australian actress, interior designer, and mother of four. Her acting career took off when she was a teenager, appearing on Neighbours and Home and Away. In this conversation, Tessa opens up about the moment she met her husband, Nate, the way their love for each other grew quickly in those early days, and why they decided to get engaged months later. She also speaks about her gratitude she holds for the most difficult season of her life, being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at just 23, and her wonderful appreciation for motherhood.  Thank you so much to ANZ for supporting this episode of Inherited.
