Today we’re talking with Jennifer Barone. She’s a mom of four, and her story is one that’ll stick with you. Jennifer grew up in a really tough environment—a hoarder home, a lot of chaos—and she opens up about how that shaped her, especially now as a mom raising three kids with special needs.

She doesn’t hold anything back. We talk about what it was like becoming a teen mom, getting caught in abusive relationships, battling addiction, and the moment she knew something had to change. Jennifer also shares the heartbreaking journey of her youngest child’s medical diagnosis and the emotional rollercoaster that came with it.

This episode is about resilience in every sense of the word—what it looks like to keep showing up when life knocks you down, and how healing is possible even in the middle of the mess. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or stuck, this conversation is a powerful reminder that hope is still out there.

Let’s get into it.
