Summary
In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, Jess Ronne shares her powerful caregiving journey, from supporting her late husband through brain cancer to raising her son, Lucas, who lives with profound disabilities—alongside seven other children. Jess is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, podcast host, documentary producer, and passionate caregiver advocate.
She opens up about the stark contrast in support she received during different caregiving seasons and how anger fueled her resilience as a young widow with four children. Jess also shares the incredible story of how a perfect stranger connected her with her now-husband, Ryan, despite living in different states.
Now in another season of major transition, Jess and her family have created a group home where Lucas is thriving. With newfound space in her life, Jess is focused on healing from years of trauma, being present, and intentionally choosing which responsibilities to embrace or surrender.
This episode is packed with valuable caregiver resources, inspiration, and hope.
