When you've carried more than most

For the woman keeping life together around a partner’s drinking. The mother trying to create calm in the chaos. The person navigating loss and wondering what comes next.

Jennifer Randall Young brings lived experience and honest conversation to the things we often carry quietly—with room for your needs, your voice, and a life that feels like your own.

BOOK JEN TO SPEAKExplore Life With

You deserve support, too.

Lived experience.
Honest conversations.
A way forward.

Jen is a speaker, advocate, and the founder of Life With: an Alcoholic. Her work speaks to women living with a partner’s drinking, navigating difficult relationships, and rebuilding through grief and change.

She brings words to experiences that can be hard to explain: keeping things looking normal, carrying responsibilities no one sees, and losing sight of yourself while caring for someone else.

Through her speaking, podcast, and Life With resources, Jen helps women recognize their own needs and consider what comes next—without pressure to stay or leave.

For the woman who…

Keeps everything looking fine while home feels anything but.

Spends so much energy anticipating someone else’s needs that hers keep waiting.

Is navigating grief, a difficult relationship, or a future she didn’t expect.

Wants one useful next step without being told how to live her life.

Meet Jen

“I used to believe I could save him by loving him harder. Then I learned to let go, set boundaries, and find myself again.”

My life has included raising children through a difficult relationship, living beside addiction, and losing my husband before I turned 50.

Today, I speak about what those experiences taught me—and create resources for women who need room to think about their own lives again. Through Life With, I help women living with an alcoholic find clarity and choose their own path forward, whether that means staying or leaving.
