Jennifer Fox: From Family Struggles to Running for Change
I think it has truly defined where you're at now. I think that was always in my head that I didn't want to be just like my mother, and because I had seen what addiction can do to a family and I knew it was a slippery slope, and like so, as an example, I quit.
Ever wondered how someone turns a tumultuous past into a force for good? In this episode of 'If I'm Being Honest,' Dan Karaty chats with Jennifer Fox, who opens up about her journey through trauma and addiction.

Jennifer also founded Dragonolia, a company that inspires others to share their stories. Throughout the conversation, Jennifer emphasizes the importance of therapy, breaking the stigma around addiction, and finding support in sobriety. Her tale is one of resilience and determination, serving as a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles.
