About This Podcast

Before the kids, before the responsibilities, there was just a girl trying to find her way. In A Girl Before Mom, Stacey Cardona pulls back the curtain on a life defined by resilience. Through stories of toxic love, the isolation of prison, and the hustle of single motherhood, Stacey proves that your past doesn’t define your future. This is a space for honest conversations about family, friends, and the messy process of finding yourself again. If you’ve ever felt lost in the shadows, tune in to find your light.
