When "Not Yet" Becomes "Right Now"
A Mental Health Podcast About the Moments That Spark Change
After being featured on multiple mental health and parenting podcasts, Jen had a powerful realization: her story of pushing away the hard work of facing her trauma was just one journey, and there are countless other journeys out there—each just as important and impactful. This is what inspired Jen to create "When Not Yet Becomes Right Now", a space for exploring the many different paths we take in life.
Whether it's a healing journey, a coming out journey, a parenting journey, or any other transformation, we want to share your story and give it the platform it deserves.
