In this deeply personal encore episode of With Love, Jennie, I share the story of how my codependency quietly shaped my first love, my marriage, and ultimately my divorce. What began as an innocent teenage romance slowly turned into a pattern of shrinking myself to keep a relationship alive. I didn’t realize I had lost myself until I quite literally couldn’t see myself in the mirror anymore.

This episode is about rediscovering who you are after heartbreak, divorce, or emotional loss. I talk about grief beyond death, healing codependency, setting boundaries, and how doing “the work” helped me come home to myself.

If you’ve ever felt invisible in your own life, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I explore:

• How codependency can form without us realizing it
• Why grief after divorce can feel overwhelming and complex
• The power of boundaries in healthy love
• What it means to reclaim your identity

If this resonates with you and you’re ready to begin your own healing journey, I would love to walk alongside you. Reach out through my website or email me directly. You don’t have to do this alone.

In this episode, I continue our deep and honest conversation about narcissism by exploring what really happens when a narcissistic relationship ends. These endings are not typical breakups. They are often disorienting, painful, and deeply destabilizing because they involve power, control, trauma bonds, and identity loss. I walk through the patterns I see again and again in my work with clients, as well as my own lived experience, to help you understand why these relationships unravel the way they do.

I talk about why narcissistic relationships often end when the healthier partner begins to heal, set boundaries, and reclaim their voice. I explain why narcissists leave, how they rewrite history, why they appear to move on so quickly, and why their exit feels like abandonment even when they were the ones causing harm. I also address the profound emotional, nervous system, relational, financial, and spiritual costs of both staying and leaving.

Most importantly, I want you to know this: if you are questioning yourself, your worth, or your sanity, you are not broken. Healing is possible, and clarity does come. If any part of this episode resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for support. You do not have to walk this path alone. jenny@jaiello.com.

In this episode, I begin a two-part conversation about narcissism that is rooted in understanding, not labeling or blame. This is Part 1, where I lay the foundation by explaining what narcissism truly is and why it so often leaves people feeling confused, depleted, and disconnected from themselves. I explore both grandiose and covert narcissism, how these patterns form, and why they are driven by fragile self-esteem and survival rather than confidence or strength.

I also talk about trauma bonding and why so many intelligent, compassionate people stay in relationships that quietly erode their sense of self. If you have ever questioned your reality, felt responsible for someone else’s emotions, or wondered why it felt so hard to leave, I want you to know there is nothing wrong with you. Your responses were adaptations, not flaws.

Part 2 will take us deeper into what happens as these relationships unravel, how narcissistic dynamics often end, and what healing can actually look like once you understand what you are dealing with. We will also explore the question many people quietly ask themselves: what if I am the narcissist?

Key takeaways:

• Narcissism is rooted in fragile self-esteem, not confidence
• Covert narcissism is often harder to recognize but deeply destabilizing
• Trauma bonding explains why it is so hard to leave
• Confusion is not weakness, it is a signal

This episode is about clarity, compassion, and reclaiming your inner truth. If this resonates and you are navigating a difficult relationship, I invite you to reach out to me for support. You do not have to walk this path alone. jenny@jaiello.com.

Exploring trauma, memory, and the nervous system’s role in long-term pain

Living with chronic pain is something most people never see, yet it touches every part of life. In this episode, I share my personal experience with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a traumatic heel injury — the most painful condition known to medicine. My hope is that by opening this chapter of my life, you feel less alone in your own healing or better equipped to support someone walking through something similar.

I talk about what CRPS felt like for me, how the nervous system can get stuck in a high-alert loop, and why emotional, spiritual, and mental healing were just as essential as physical recovery. I also share the practices that helped me regain peace and a sense of agency, from meditation and breathwork to visualization and changing the way I spoke to and about my body.

Takeaways:

• Chronic pain involves physical, emotional, and nervous system healing
• Language, visualization, and spiritual practice support recovery
• Compassion from others profoundly shapes the healing journey

If you or someone you love is living with chronic pain, I hope this episode brings understanding, compassion, and hope. And if you want support on your own healing journey or simply need someone to help you steady the path, I’m here. Please reach out — I would love to walk with you.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about one of the hardest chapters of my life — estrangement from two of my children — and how I found peace, healing, and meaning through spiritual principles like the Law of Relativity and the Law of Neutrality.

I share how years of silence became an unexpected teacher, revealing that love can still exist even when contact is gone. Through grief, reflection, and spiritual practice, I learned to release blame, honor boundaries, and allow grace to do what I could not.

This episode is for anyone living through family estrangement, loss, or disconnection. My hope is that it helps you see that love doesn’t end — it transforms. Healing begins when we stop asking “Why is this happening to me?” and begin to see that life is happening through me.

Key Takeaways:

• The hidden lessons of estrangement and grief
• How universal laws help bring peace
• Why neutrality and relativity shift suffering into healing

If you’re walking this road, you’re not alone. Reach out — I’d love to help you heal and find peace again.

In this episode, I’m pausing my usual storytelling series to talk about something that has shaped every chapter of my journey—the courage to feel what hurts. For years, I walked through waves of loss, grief, shame, addiction, and personal reckoning. These weren’t quick moments of pain; they were seasons of life that broke me open again and again.

I used to think strength meant keeping it together. Now, I know real strength comes from allowing myself to feel what hurts—fully and honestly. Because pain doesn’t disappear when we bury it; it only heals when we face it.

Whether you’re walking through your own shadow work, grief, or heartbreak, this conversation is about honoring your humanity, finding your power, and stepping into freedom. Healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, courage, and love.

Key Takeaways:

• Pain doesn’t disappear when ignored—it heals when felt.
• Our shadow holds the keys to deep personal freedom.
• Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s the birthplace of transformation.
• Healing allows us to show up more fully for ourselves and others.

If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out, share your story, and let’s walk this healing path together.

In this episode of With Love, Jenny, I continue my deeply personal conversation with my daughter-in-law, Heather, as she courageously shares her journey through addiction and recovery. Her honesty and wisdom shed light on what it’s really like to walk both sides of that path — from active addiction to the daily work of sobriety.

We talk about the messy truth of healing — how recovery isn’t just about getting clean, but learning to live with integrity, rebuild trust, and rediscover self-worth. Heather opens up about what helped her most, what didn’t, and how love, boundaries, and community played a powerful role in her recovery.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, I hope this episode brings hope, compassion, and a reminder that recovery is possible — one day, one choice, one act of love at a time.

Key Takeaways:

• Sobriety is “messy but worth it.”
• Boundaries save lives — love can mean letting go.
• Community and hope are essential to healing.

If you need help or want to share your story, reach out. You’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with my daughter-in-law Heather, who bravely shares her raw and honest story of addiction, recovery, and rebuilding her life. This conversation is deeply personal for me, not only because of my own family’s journey through addiction, but also because it sheds light on the often-misunderstood realities of what it feels like to live inside addiction.

Heather opens up about her earliest struggles, the weight of shame and guilt, the way addiction tore apart family bonds, and the turning point that helped her begin a path toward healing. She doesn’t just share her story—she offers hope, resilience, and a reminder that recovery is possible no matter how far gone things may seem.

My hope is that by listening, you’ll gain compassion, understanding, and encouragement for your own journey—or for someone you love who may be struggling. Addiction impacts families on every level, but there is always hope for healing.

If you find yourself walking this hard road and need someone to talk to, I’d love to hear from you. Please reach out—I’m here to help.
