In Part 4, the final part of my powerful series with Rose Madison Jenkins — author, disabled veteran, coach, and storyteller — we dive into the heart of motherhood, healing, and breaking cycles for the next generation.
 
Rose opens up about how becoming a mother reshaped her journey of healing and forced her to confront the wounds she once avoided. We talk about what it means to parent as a cycle breaker, the challenges of creating emotional safety for your children when you never had it yourself, and the courage it takes to raise boys who are emotionally aware in a world that doesn’t always give them that space.
 
This episode is raw, vulnerable, and deeply relatable for anyone navigating parenthood, grief, or generational trauma. Rose’s story reminds us that healing doesn’t stop with us — it ripples forward into the lives of our children and communities.
 
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:
•How motherhood transformed Rose’s relationship with healing
•The role of generational trauma in parenting and identity
•Why creating emotional safety is revolutionary work
•Raising emotionally aware boys in a society that often silences them
•The power of choosing to be a cycle breaker
 
If you’ve ever wondered how to heal while raising the next generation, or how to turn pain into purpose for your children, this conversation will speak to your heart.

In Part 3 of my moving conversation with Rose Madison Jenkins — author, disabled veteran, coach, and storyteller — we uncover the lessons of resilience, leadership, and unity that shaped her journey from the military to social work, and beyond.
 
Rose shares what it was like navigating racism and sexism in the Army as a biracial woman, and how she developed a leadership model rooted in respect rather than rank. She reflects on her years serving at-risk youth in St. Paul during the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, offering raw insight into how she guided young people through fear, mistrust, and the loss of safety.
 
We also expand the lens globally — as Rose connects her Palestinian-American identity with the struggle for Black life and the South African experience. Drawing inspiration from Nelson Mandela, she reminds us that division weakens us, but unity makes us unstoppable.
 
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:
•The realities of racism and sexism in the military
•Why “respect matters more than rank” became Rose’s leadership philosophy
•Guiding at-risk youth through the trauma of George Floyd’s murder and its aftermath
•The powerful ties between Palestine, Black struggle, and South Africa’s fight against apartheid
•Why Nelson Mandela’s words — “No one is free until everyone is free” — still resonate today
 
This conversation is bold, eye-opening, and deeply empowering. Rose’s story reminds us that resilience is not silent endurance — it’s transforming hardship into purpose, and that true justice will never exist until it is justice for all.

Poverty is a Prison: The Breakthrough
🌹 Poverty isn’t just about money—it’s a mindset, a survival cycle, and a weight many of us were never meant to carry.

🎙 In this episode you’ll hear: • Why poverty is more than a condition—it’s a prison of the mind. • The breakthrough moments that helped Rose shift from survival mode to possibility. • How she released shame, set boundaries, and reclaimed her power. • The tools that helped her transform scarcity into abundance—in life, motherhood, and leadership.
