Second Chance on Love Side B

About Second Chance on Love Side B

Second Chances: The Best Parts are on Side B Have you ever wondered, “Did I miss my chance?” Hosted by Jennie K. Drollinger—an unapologetic ’80s girl at heart—Second Chances is a storytelling podcast about second chances in love, career, health, family, faith, purpose, and life after unexpected change. Each episode shares real, hope-filled stories of people who found their Side B: rekindled romances, love after divorce, restored marriages, career reinvention, health recovery, healing after heartbreak, family reconnection, and new beginnings after loss, failure, or fear. It all began with Jennie’s own lost and found love story: meeting a boy in H.S. 1985 Alaska, falling fast, then losing touch through misunderstandings and an old-school disconnected landline—a mystery that took over three decades to explain and finally uncover what really happened. Thirty years later, they found their way back to each other. Their journey captured hearts nationwide and was crowned America’s Favorite Couple 2025, winning out of 210,000 couples. But this isn’t just a love story podcast. It’s a community of Side B moments—a place for listeners to share stories of resilience, forgiveness, healing, personal growth, reinvention, purpose, and proof that it’s never too late to begin again. Pull up a chair. Get cozy. You’re not too late. "Your life didn’t end when your plans did—some stories aren’t over yet, and the best parts may still be waiting on Side B." Your Side B story could give someone hope!

   Don’t Waste Your Pain: Healing After Losing Both Parents to Suicide

   In this deeply vulnerable episode of Second Chances: The Best Parts Are on Side B, Tiffaney Childers shares her journey through grief, trauma, chronic pain, and healing after losing both of her parents to suicide. Tiffaney opens up about what it means to keep functioning when your world has fallen apart—the loneliness that can exist even when you’re surrounded by people, the stigma surrounding suicide loss, and the hidden weight of carrying grief in silence. She shares how vulnerability and community became essential parts of finding her way forward. Through motherhood, chronic pain, self-discovery, and the support of others, Tiffaney began transforming survival into something more: a life filled with greater intention, connection, and purpose.This conversation is about allowing yourself to be seen in the messy middle, finding the courage to ask for support, and discovering that healing doesn’t require having everything figured out. Sometimes a second chance begins with one small decision to keep going—and then choosing to do it again tomorrow. Tiffaney’s story is a powerful reminder that our hardest chapters don’t have to be the end of the story. Takeaways Staying strong can prevent healing. Healing involves discomfort, but so does refusing to heal. Community is essential for healing. Motherhood can be a lifeline during tough times. Chronic pain can stem from emotional trauma. Grief can feel isolating, even in a crowd. Talking about loss helps break the stigma. Don't waste your pain; use it to help others. You can change your direction at any time. Silence about grief can be more harmful than healing. Sound Bites 00:00 "Strong does not mean healing." 06:40 "You better make time to fall apart." 15:05 "Community will be your lifeline." 30:01 "You have got to dig down deep." 32:05 "Don't waste your pain." 34:03 "Grief is a toxic place to sit." 35:36 "Silence buries you, it doesn't heal you."
