In this episode of the Main Character Podcast, I’m joined by my friend Jen—someone whose story is layered with grit, grace, and a fierce kind of resilience. Jen opens up about the health battles that forced her to slow down and see life differently, the family dynamics that shaped her early years, and the intentional way she now approaches motherhood, ethics, and personal growth. This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s the real stuff: fear, faith, healing, humor, and how to keep showing up even when life doesn’t play fair.
We cover a lot of ground—parenting, mindset, community, forgiveness, even a detour into true crime and doomsday cults. But through it all, Jen holds steady to the deeper thread: how to stay rooted in who you are, even when everything around you is shifting. This one’s a reminder that our stories aren’t linear. They’re layered, messy, meaningful—and worth telling. Jen doesn’t just talk about main character energy. She lives it.
