Jenni's Story  

"I had everything I thought I wanted. So why did I feel like I was disappearing?" Jenni looked perfect on paper—loving husband, beautiful kids, the family she'd always dreamed of. But inside, she was carrying wounds from childhood that no one could see. In this raw conversation, Jenni shares what happened when life delivered a catastrophic bomb that forced her to finally choose herself—and the judgment, loss, and unexpected lessons that followed. This isn't a story about making the right choices. It's about understanding why we make the choices we do, and what it really takes to love yourself when everything falls apart. **Warning: This episode explores difficult themes including trauma, family dysfunction, and life-altering decisions. It's also one of the most powerful conversations about self-love you'll ever hear.
