Success is Subjective: Real People. Raw Stories. Embracing a Non-Linear Life!
Interviews of people who took a break from life at one point or another to get help, grow up, or just to reassess their life direction. Some guests struggled with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, a death in the family, or just decided college was not the place for them. These stories are all-to-real, and yet we don't talk enough about how common it is for those who took a gap year to defer college, went to college and took a break, or those who struggled launching into the workforce post-college graduation. This goes out to all the young adults and parents of young adults who are struggling and contemplating what will happen if they walk away right now.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Jenna Mathias shares how she always believed success meant following the plan: graduate college, build a career, and keep moving forward. Instead, addiction led her down a very different path—one marked by repeated treatment stays, heartbreak, and hard lessons for both her and her family. Jenna reflects on how long-term recovery transformed her definition of success, why her parents' toughest decisions ultimately helped save her life, and how finding freedom led her to a career helping other women heal. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, hope is never out of reach, and success often looks nothing like we expected.
