What happens when everything you’ve built—your identity,your independence, your momentum—is suddenly ripped away by a health crisis? For Jennifer Goldman, the answer became clear: you rebuild, but this time, even deeper.
In this powerful episode of Stages of She, we sit down withJennifer Goldman, Clinical Aromatherapist and founder of the holistic wellness brand Essential Rose, alongside her mother and co-author, Caryn Hirschleifer.
Just days before her 31st birthday, Jennifer experienced a catastrophic stroke that would ultimately transform not only her life—but the way she approached healing, purpose, and business.
Jennifer was already deeply rooted in holistic healingbefore her stroke, with a background in medicinal plants, yoga, mindfulness, and aromatherapy. But this traumatic event pushed her to embody those practices in a new way, relying on her inner work to pull her through the darkestmoments. Her story is one of rediscovery—of her voice, her body, her mission—and her mother Caryn was by her side through it all.

This conversation is honest, raw, inspiring—and a reminderthat even when life burns to the ground, beauty can grow from the ashes.
