second Chances:
The Best Parts are on Side B Podcast
Welcome, friend. If you’ve ever thought love passed you by… this podcast is for you.
Each week on Second Chance on Love: Side B, we share real stories of people who believed their chance at romance was gone—until love surprised them.
What you’ll hear
Stories of Hope
These are stories of hope, healing, and hearts that found each other again… often when they least expected it.
Maybe you’ve been there too. Maybe you’ve had your heart broken. Maybe you’ve started to believe that fairy tales are just for the movies. But here, we tell the truth: real love doesn’t always show up when you’re young, shiny, and carefree. Sometimes, it shows up when life has chipped your edges and you’ve got a little more story behind your smile.
I’m Jennie, your host. And trust me—I get it. I lived it. More on that below.
Pull up a chair. Grab your favorite drink. Get cozy.
You’re not too late. Love is still out there. Let’s rediscover it—together.

who’s the host?
Hi! I’m Jennie
I met a boy in 1985. We were just teens in Alaska—young, in love, and full of big dreams. Life took us in different directions, but three decades later, we reconnected—and I married the boy who once made me laugh in the high school hallways.
Our story is proof that love can come back around. If you’ve got a second chance story, I’d love to hear it. Come share it with me on the podcast.
