Jessica grew up in a home filled with addiction, emotional and physical abuse, and trauma that started before she could even understand it. But when she became a mother at 21, everything shifted. Determined to give her daughter a life rooted in love and safety, Jessica made a vow to break the cycle that nearly broke her.
In this episode, Jessica opens up about:
- Growing up in survival mode
- Navigating anxiety, PTSD, and forgiveness
- Raising a daughter with autism as a single mom
- Becoming an educator and advocate for children with special needs
- Learning how to parent while healing from trauma
This is a story of resilience, generational healing, and the power of intentional love.
