Listen Later

Jen Garnes’ life is the kind of story that feels like a movie—but every moment is real. Born into a home shaped by addiction, Jen grew up in the shadows of alcoholism and drug abuse. Her earliest memories are laced with instability, emotional pain, and survival. At a young age, she experienced a devastating loss that would alter the course of her life forever—her father passed away due to his addiction.

That trauma sent her spiraling into her own battle with substances, unknowingly following the same dark path. What happened next is almost too wild to believe. Jen's addiction led her to the brink, where desperation took over.

In a moment that could’ve cost her everything, she broke into a house—only to find out later it belonged to the local sheriff. It was rock bottom, a wake-up call, and the start of a new chapter all rolled into one.This episode dives deep into Jen's unbelievable journey—from surviving a childhood marked by dysfunction and loss, to navigating the chaos of addiction, to finding the courage to heal and change. Her story is raw, honest, and filled with moments that will shock you, move you, and ultimately inspire you.Today, Jen is more than just sober—she’s a powerful voice in the recovery community. She’s dedicated her life to helping others who feel lost, broken, or stuck in the cycle of addiction.

Every week, she shares her experiences, wisdom, and hope with others who are walking similar paths, proving that no matter how far you've fallen, redemption is always possible.

This is more than just a podcast—it’s a story of pain, resilience, and transformation. If you’ve ever doubted that people can change, or that healing is possible, Jen’s story will challenge everything you think you know.
