We talk with Yvette Rodriguez about leaving Brooklyn for Central Florida, the mindset shift that comes with starting over, and why she stayed even after a brutal hurricane season. She also shares how her journey as a teen mom leads her to build Beyond Pregnancy Care, a support hub for families who feel overwhelmed and alone.
