The Front Porch Podcast – Episode 1: Discovering Jean

Jean Owen always thought of herself as “somebody’s someone” – first as her mother’s daughter then as her husband’s wife. It wasn’t until she moved to Villa Gardens that she began stepping into her power as “Just Jean.” As president of the resident council and key contributor to Sarah Friedland’s award-winning film Familiar Touch (filmed on location at Villa Gardens), Jean has discovered a renewed sense of purpose and identity. Join us for this fascinating conversation about finding yourself and discovering the power of community at any (and every) age.
