In Part 1 of this deeply moving two part series on Pretty Likkle Jacket, Kathy and Richard sit down with their friend Gwen as she begins sharing the story behind her strength, her humor, and the walls she learned to build early in life.

Gwen opens up about her childhood in Panama, growing up with a single mother, and the complicated relationship with a father who was present in name but absent in love. She reflects on waiting at the door with her backpack for a dad who never came, witnessing infidelity at only three years old, and the emotional weight she carried long before she understood it.

She also speaks about the cultural dynamics she grew up with, her mother’s resilience, the family patterns she later recognized, and the early experiences that shaped her understanding of love, trust, and belonging.

This episode sets the stage for a powerful continuation in Part 2 as Gwen opens up about immigration, trauma, survival, and the adult decisions that changed her life.
