S1E9 - Jill Hanlin - Raised in Chaos, Restored By Grace, Part 1

Jill’s life has been a journey from chaos to compassion. Raised in a deeply dysfunctional home, she became a caretaker at just seven years old. Her childhood was marked by addiction, emotional abuse, and secrecy. Despite it all, Jill protected her younger brother and held her family together the best she could, while quietly enduring the weight of survival.

Today, Jill manages Journey House, a recovery home that reflects everything her own childhood lacked. Her leadership is fueled by lived experience, deep empathy, and a fierce commitment to truth. Jill’s story is raw, redemptive, and rooted in resilience. She shares it not to revisit the pain, but to help others find healing in their own. And this is just the beginning.

Jill will return in a future episode to share the next chapter: her son’s story, and what it means to witness the generational struggle of addiction as a mother on the front lines.
