In this raw and powerful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah A. Reed sits down with Jennifer Gaydos Hartman — mental health & trauma advocate, Director of National Business Development at J. Flowers Health Institute, former star of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Dallas, and author of the memoir *Tomorrow’s Not Promised: My Mother Came to Me in a Dream*.

Jennifer opens up about the night that shattered her world on January 1, 2020, and the extraordinary choice she and her children made in the aftermath: to become survivors instead of victims. She shares how generational trauma, unimaginable loss, and public persona collided with private pain — and how she turned that pain into purpose through advocacy, healing, and helping others at one of the country’s premier trauma and addiction treatment centers.

With over 20 years in psychiatric nursing and addiction treatment, Jennifer brings both clinical wisdom and lived experience to the conversation. She reveals the message her mother delivered from beyond that became the title of her book, and why she now lives (and teaches) with this truth: tomorrow is not promised.

In this episode you’ll discover:
• How to choose survival and break generational cycles of trauma
• Why it’s okay not to be okay — but not okay to stay there
• The power of living fully and intentionally every single day
• Practical steps for healing, getting help, and building a legacy of impact

If you’ve ever carried hidden wounds, faced sudden loss, or felt called to turn your pain into something greater, this conversation will refocus your heart and give you courage for the road ahead.
