Serena was born into a story that seemed destined to repeat itself. Her mother became a young mother under tragic circumstances, carrying trauma that would echo through the generations. By sixteen, Serena found herself pregnant too, following a path that looked all too familiar. Growing up surrounded by abuse, poverty, addiction, and instability, it would have been easy to believe that this was simply how life was always going to be.

Instead, Serena spent decades fighting for something different. From earning her GED as a young mother to returning to school later in life, raising children on her own, and overcoming one obstacle after another, she refused to let her circumstances define her future.

In this powerful conversation, Serena shares how she broke generational cycles, built a thriving business, and created a life she never thought was possible. Her story is a reminder that where you begin does not determine where you finish, and that it is never too late to change the direction of your life.
