The Train Wreck of Family Secrets & the Healing That Followed

When “Dad” Isn’t Dad

Imagine growing up with a toxic mom and an abusive “father”… only to find out in your 20s that he wasn’t your father at all. That’s the first curveball Jennifer Dawn had to process – and trust me, it wasn’t the last.

The Obituary That Changed Everything

What’s worse than losing a parent? Finding out who they are because of their obituary. Jennifer finally discovered her biological father’s identity – just in time to learn he had already passed away. The kicker? Everyone said she looked exactly like him. 💔

Walking on Papers (Yep, That’s a Thing)

From New York to Australia, Jennifer’s journey took her into the world of energy healing – where she ended up “walking on papers” as part of a constellation exercise. Sounds woo-woo? Maybe. Did it change her life? Absolutely.

Secrets, Siblings & Second Chances

Turns out, Jennifer had a whole side of her family she didn’t even know existed. A single phone call to her sister cracked open decades of silence, and a new chapter of connection began. Messy? Yes. Worth it? 100%.

Fire Pits, Snowstorms & One Marley Ending

Because it wouldn’t be Every Day’s a Train Wreck without some chaos: there’s also a snow-covered fire pit, a wild Marley detour, and a reminder that healing doesn’t need to look pretty – it just needs to happen.

Why Healing Isn’t Optional

The truth is, it doesn’t matter if you heal through therapy, journaling, paper-walking, or interpretive dance. What matters is you do it. Because carrying someone else’s baggage only keeps you from living your own damn life.
