She Broke the Cycle: Jennifer Chase on Addiction and Saving Her Son
Content Warning:
This episode includes discussions of childhood sexual abuse, opioid addiction, substance use disorder, and the impact addiction can have on families. Please listen with care, especially if these topics are tender for you.
Jennifer Chase grew up in a family where addiction ran four generations deep. Determined to break the cycle, she built a marriage and family of her own — until chronic pain and prescribed opioids pulled her into the very addiction she swore, she would avoid.
In this powerful episode, Jennifer shares her journey through opioid addiction, generational trauma, recovery, and the moment she realized she had unknowingly become part of her son’s addiction.
From surviving a life-threatening brain tumor to battling substance use disorder, Jennifer opens up about isolation, shame, motherhood, and what it truly takes to break family patterns rooted in addiction. She speaks candidly about recovery, setting boundaries without abandoning the people you love, and how connection became the foundation of her healing.
