Jennifer Harcarik is a storyteller who writes about resilience, identity, and the search for belonging. She is the creator of MissMothered, a project dedicated to giving voice to the often invisible wounds of conditional love and to building spaces of honesty and compassion.

When she’s not writing, Jennifer draws on her background as an educator, advocate, and lifelong learner to connect with others on their journeys of survival and self-discovery. She lives in Temecula, California, with her husband and their two dogs, Phoebe and Ellie, where she enjoys the outdoors, traveling, and being active in her community.
