EPISODE 1: THIS IS ME. (Overcomfort Podcast with Jenicka Lopez) 

GIRL! WE KNEW YOUR MOM WAS NOT PERFECT, THATS WHY WE LOVE HER! She was relatable, she was real, she was Not perfect and talked about her mistakes and didn't pretend to be perfect or have a perfect life. We loved her and her kids when she was alive and did ALL that crazy shit, and we still Love her and her kids.

It does not damage Jenni’s name! She’ll always be the diva and you’ll always be her princess. ❤ God bless you

You ARE a princess 👑. And this didn’t hurt your moms image babe. It just makes her life story even more relatable ♥️

PADRE no es aquel que engendra sino el que educa, cría, y orienta. ❤ You’re momma was definitely a strong person and as a mother myself I’m sure she had her reasons not to tell you at such a young age. You’re such an amazing person Jenicka, you definitely have such an amazing future ahead of you! ❤

I love that you inherited your momma’s strength 🤍

The fact that you look just like your mom is insane. This is your journey and your life, your mom was human like everyone else people will always have something smart to say so don’t let that get to you. ❤

Honestly thank you, I'm 25 years old, and I just found out that I was adopted. And it's been hard.

It will definitely not hurt her image, this will make her more real. She was always so transparent and did not scare or hide from her mistakes which most of us who are not even famous do

I did not walk here I ran here!!! ❤much love sweet Lady!!! Prayers You are such a brave young lady!!!

You’re making me cry mama!!!! You guys are all sooooo strong!!! Sending you an air hug 🫂 ❤❤❤

I can't imagine all the emotions that came with finding out + grieving both parents. Speak your truth! We're here for youu ❤

As I’m cooking for my boys I listen to this and I shatter in tears, I’m in the exact situation me as your mom and my 3 yr old as you. I’ve always asked myself if it was the right thing to do to let it be known that the man that was raising my 3 yr old wasn’t the bio dad. Ever since I found out about the dna results I didn’t let it be known until 4 months later I felt like I was drowning in a cup of water knowing about it and not saying anything to anyone until I had enough and I let both families know about the situation after that I felt so relief.

So glad you followed your gut feelings. Your mama would of told you in time. Remember your mama was not ashamed of anything that's why we relate to her none of our lives are perfect and she showed us to not be ashamed and keep going. Chin up, your so strong.💕

Your mom of course would’ve told you expecting for the right time, her passing so very unexpected shattered that opportunity for both. You have shared your story so graciously with such heart, just like your mama, making her so proud. Blessings to you always from our divine Heavenly Father.

Girl I feel you so much. This year I found out I’m half siblings with my sisters. I still don’t know anything about my biological dad but I think I’ll be taking that dna test. Thank you for sharing your story 💗 it feels contorting to know I’m not alone

Jenicka I really hope you read my message because I just want to tell you that what you did doesn’t need approval from anyone as long as it came from you. You own this story and no one can judge it. I believe that your mom hubiera hecho lo mismo si estuviera in your shoes. I think you know your mom more than anyone else and you know that she loved you , and for whatever reason this happened just know that your mom loved so much and those prayers were answered because you look just like her 😊❤ thank you for opening your heart and we love your mom with her mistakes and good things she did no one can even question because only her knows the real escenario and why. Thank you and I love that you have a podcast ❤

Compatriota!!!! An enormous hug from one Boricua to another Boricua 🇵🇷💞💞💞💞....

GO JENICKA FOR ASKING MEDIA AND PUBLIC NOT TO ASK ABOUT THIS!! 👏🏼👏🏼

You deserve to know your truth and never be ashamed of it. This is your story and it’s on you how you finish it. Soo happy for you and your truth.

I think jenni wanted to wait to tell her when it was time most likely when she’s older, I’m glad she opened up to us about this topic I respect her and her mother of course she will always be a legend.

Que valiente eres al contar tu verdadera historia.. Que maravilla que no sientas rencor hacia tu madre, sus razones debió tener, seguramente muchos temores y nunca encontró el momento, pero eso no la hace ser una mala madre, solo no le alcanzó el tiempo.. ella los amaba profundamente. Ámala aún más y envíale mucho amor para que pueda volar en paz 🦋.. Un abrazo desde Chile, Jenicka.

Jenicka - thank you for authentically sharing your truth, your feels around it and ALLL the things . I’m sure you’ve been through a huge grieving process around this and glad you’ve been able to process and see deeply the love you have for your mamis image and the father you knew ! And going through the motions of seeing who conceived you with your mami.

On the episode chiquis coincidentally made a joke about jenicka’s dad being a Puerto Rican guy ! That’s crazy. But we the end of the day , I’m glad you found the other part of you ❤️

YES JENICKA!! SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!! I just want to give you a big hug. You are so strong and admirable for your maturity. ❤❤❤❤

What an incredible 1st episode Jenicka. Let me tell you this as a Jenni Rivera Fan and an I love Jenni Fan our perspective does not change about her we loved her and will continue to love her regardless as we do her children too. Keep doing you boo, shine bright like a diamond and keep growing and glowing.

Your mother will be so proud of you keeping your mother's legacy alive

You are so brave and so mature. No one should be judging your mom or you for saying this. The important thing is that you are finally at peace.

The fact that some mothers are selfish. They don’t see how lying like this harm a child. They are no reasons to justify this. My mother did the same thing to my brother and he suffered mentally. I saw him suffered and it was just so sad.

Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your life with us, I have so much love for you all, and I will always have so much love for Jenni. I can't wait to see all your episodes!

Jenni Rivera couldn’t get more relatable but I was wrong . She’s so relatable . Even more !!!!!

Props to you girl! Your mom is an inspiration to many of us and the fact that you’re speaking on something so personal to the whole world makes you a bigger inspiration ❤️

Everything happens for a reason!!! Your momma was mom and dad a lot of the time .. must be proud to have a mom so strong like her .. and her prayers were heard, you are your mommas twin 😊❤

What a blessing to have your biological father around. I hope you two can form a beautiful relationship. I love Jenni. I think she was going to tell you as you got older but unfortunately she couldn't. You have siblings who adore & LOVE you!! That is also a blessing!! I hope you continue to fully heal. All the best, chica!! ❤

My little sister has a similar story, we decided to tell her at 9 years old who is very mature. Your so strong and beautiful independent woman ❤

I was honest with my child from the very beginning. She's being raised by a loving man as her dad, and her biological wants nothing to do with her, and so far, we been very open about it this topic with her. I didn't want her to not know the truth about herself for being different from her other siblings it was very hard, but she understands now and she's good with the loving dad she has now raising, loving her like his own! Cuddos to those man that does step up to be DADS! Good luck on this new chapter! ❤️

Very strong of you to talk about this! Sending you a huge hug ❤️

Let's not make excuses for mom's not telling kids and father's the truth, it affects people's lives. We cant and shouldn't normalize it, It's very selfish, glad your doing ok.

This is exactly why I do not like family secrets. Wishing you the best.

We all know your mom was perfectly imperfect and that is why so many people love her. Thanks for sharing with us ❤

No one is perfect mama !!! I'm glad you spoke about your secret because that is how you will heal. Healing yourself is the first priority! ✨️

You are so strong for sharing this! So inspiring to see your vulnerable side of who you really are everything happens for a reason glad you are healed like you said THIS IS WHO YOU ARE and no one can change it much love! 🫶🏼

Mi niña, eres Bendecida de saber ahora que tienes dos papas. Juan siempre sera tu padre, pero ahora tienes la oportunidad de conocer a tu otro papa y tener una relacion con el. Tu mami se gano el cariño y el respeto de todos por ser ella misma. Por ser original y no falsa como otras personalidades. Ella fue transparente y no se le condena por querer protejerte, al contarion, se le respeta mas porque confirma una vez mas que su prioridad era y seguiran siendo sus hijos, auqneu fisicamente ella no este. Dios te Bendiga a tus hermanos, sobrinos y a ti. And PLEASE, do not ever judge your mom for loving you so much.

Hay mija, muchas gracias por compartir algo tan personal con todos nosotros, soy fan de tu mami y no a cambiado nada,la quiero igual como ser humano, y a ti te admiro y te respeto más ahora que nos compartes algo tan personal tuyo. Te felicito jenicka cómo tener todo ese valor de decirnos esta información. Gracias por dejarnos conocer quién es jenicka. Saludos a tus hermanos y me da gusto saber que Chon va a estar contigo en el próximo podcast. Admiramos a tu la diva y también a tus hermanos. Me gustaria que en un futuro podcast tuyo escuchar si tendrán una mejor relación con tus tíos y tus abuelos los Rivera. Yo le pido a dios que traten todos de volver a tener una bonita relación con la familia de tu mami por favor. Algo que quiero decirte es que para toda historia hay 2 lados y quisiera saber el lado de los hijos de jenni si es possible. Cuídate mija. Te deceo todo lo mejor para ti siempre. ❤️

My heart 😭 ugh we love you Jenickaaaaa🫶🏻 you’re one strong women💯👏🏻🙏🏼

I admire you for coming out and opening your heart. I also do think that after reveling this information you cant expect the media to ask more questions. You have opened the door to questions. God bless you in your journey

Jenika I’m so glad you got this off of your chest!! This doesn’t change the love your mom had for you as a mom I’m sure she was trying to protect you in her own way and as life goes on things start to get more and more complicated and as you said she probably knew at some point she needed to talk to you about it but why add more complications at that time. Stay Awesome & Stay Blessed

Jenni was not perfect. And that’s why we will always love her. Cause she was real! We miss her. Thank you for this ❤

You are strong and I’m proud of you for speaking about this and letting it out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I had a similar situation and I told my daughter at 13. She felt the same way. Not knowing who she was. That was god telling me it was time to tell her the truth. Blessings

Por eso amo a la familia Rivera, nunca dejan de sorprendernos, son una escapatoria a nuestras normales vidas.

i feel like your mom did what she thought was best - whether she was right or wrong she had the best intentions . i also think she would have told you when she knew you would understand unfortunately things happen and she didn’t get the time to do so . and anyone that asks why you chose to talk about it needs to know it’s because people judge or assume who you are or what you’re like without knowing what you have been through first hand . best of luck to you beautiful ❤

I’m glad you expressed yourself about your feelings mama . Your daddy must be proud of you and how far you’ve come along … we respect you a lot because it takes a lot of courage to record this post cast … and hey welcome to the Puerto Rican world ❤️❤️❤️

As a mom it hurts, it’s scary! Because the last thing we want to do is hurt our babies, let them down or for them to hate us you know.. but deep down, personally myself I could not keep it a secret forever. I don’t ever want them to resent me for it. We cannot control the outcome but we can let the truth set us free. I told my son last year who was 8 years old. There’s not ever going to be a “right time” to do it but I chose this time being that my son was capable of understanding and express in return how he feels. I have yet to tell his little sister as well that the man who’s raised her since she was 1 is not her biological father but he is their DAD. My kids love this man regardless and I know they will forever love him as he is the only dad they know. It’s not who “made” you but who was always there and raised you ❤ Your mom never wanted to hurt you & the Lord knows she loved you endlessly. I admire your strength and compassion Jenicka. I know your mom and dad are looking down at you, beyond proud!

Wow you are super brave for opening up. I love hearing this side. No matter what your mom is proud of you!! And no one is perfect so your mom did what she had to do. Prayers your way and so happy you got your questions answered 🫶🏼🙏❤️

No one is perfect! Your Mom was and still is a “chingona”!!!! This doesn’t change the way I think about Jenni Rivera. Jenni Rivera forever!!! 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Thank you for sharing YOU with all of us. The truth will definitely set you free and allow you to continue healing yourself as well as inspiring others. Love you!!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY! I CAN RELATE, I WAS YOU, 23-YEARS AGO! KEEP SHINNING AND BEING THAT BEAUTIFUL HUMAN THAT YOU ARE❣

Que linda y sincera 🥺♥️ Siempre supe que ella era diferente a sus hermanos y es la que más se parece a jenni ♥️ Espero y ustedes después puedan sacar una verdadera historia de su mamá y su familia ♥️

It’s crazy because you had a dad that loved you so much. And now that you dad is with god, you have a dad that could love you and brother that you can share with as well ❤. I’m glad you said your ok. Know you have more family to get to know.

the fact that you’re talking about everything and putting in the open makes you so relatable and I respect you and your family so much more now!

Jenicka, you inspire me so much. I see so many similarities between me and you especially now that you are sharing more. I'm on a healing journey and I love the meaning of your brand! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄babe's I hope 2023 is our year!!! Sending positive vibes. ✨✨✨✨

I love her voice! She’s so strong

You are so strong, for sharing all this with us. NOBODY IS PERFECT! Your my mom had her reasons don’t judge her so much… Healing send your ways babes…

Wow, an amazing first episode! Your momma would be so proud of you!! You are helping so many ppl and so many ppl go through the same thing. I think a lot of ppl would’ve done the same as your mom she handled it the best way she knew how and we’re all only human. Thank you for sharing this 💓💓

I love this for you Jenika ❤️ healing is important and sharing with the world 🌎 your healing process is brave. I love watching your broadcast and even if im just limpiando la casa or doing something I love playing your broadcast. Keep the healing process hun 💕 big things are coming your way

Juanela is going to have a lot to say about it like he always does!🤦🏻‍♀️ We love you Jenicka😍 ❤️

We love u Jenicka n ur mom u I feel she was the best mom ever ..n raised great kids..I did told My oldest who his real dad was because he started asking why him n his 2 other siblings had different last name. N he did took good he cried but right aways he was fine n my other 2 kids dad loves him n takes care of him he tells everyone that's his son.. I was very lucky to meet him. Though we aren't together anymore he still takes all 3 on his weekends ❤

Wow!! Your courage is so admirable. Thank you so much for sharing this with us 🤍 May God continue to bless you always.

My mom did not want to tell me i found out who my dad was when i was 8 by other people. I am an open book with my kids some say too much but I do not care. I like to be Raw. maybe its because i was in a situation similiar to yours and dont want them to "not know". Your mom is my biggest inspiration. This had to be a tough thing for her to go thru.

I love your honesty and strength. You are an amazing young woman. Very proud of how you have handled all that life has tossed at you. ❤

Love this and can relate so much! I just turned 22! On my 21st birthday I found out my dad is not my biological dad through fb! My grandma confirmed but I have yet to confront my mom about her reasoning to this!😭

I’m on the search to find my biological father at 50. It’s ok to find our truth and be able to heal. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💪🏼

You are so brave mija, the love I have for all of you guys will never change, my diva was a human and we all make mistakes. Thank you for share this with us, thank you for exposing your feeling and no reason ❤❤❤ love you,

Te felicito por ser tan valiente y abrí tu corazón de esta manera ! Tu corazón, alma y espíritu lo sentían , que algo no estaba bien y lo encotraste , bien por eso

I'm sorry for all this and that ur mom kept the secret from u and that your are strong enough to forgive... I love you for doing this

You didnt have to share this personal family matter but thank you for wanting to share it with us!

It takes a strong person to move on and forgive, thank you for being so open and vulnerable💗

We loved your Mom because she wasn't perfect.. Because we could relate to her and her locuras.. I'm sorry u were hurt tho Mija. You are such a confident, beautiful young lady with such wisdom beyond your years. Wishing you all the best in life and look forward to seeing all u will accomplish ☺️

I grew up with my brothers dad thinking he was mine❤ my mom told me when I was 6 or 7. I feel like it confused me so much and created an identity crisis. I wish she would have told me when I was older and more confident and sure of myself but you can’t go back only forward💕 thank you for being vulnerable and relatable😊

Eres una chica muy fuerte y tú mamá debe estar muy orgullosa en lo que te has convertido❤

I told my son when he was 7/8. And I think it was the best choice. Thankfully, my ex husband and his family never treated him any differently. And to this day, my suegra (ex suegra technically, but she’s stuck with me forever ❤) always says “That’s my grandson. And he will always be.” I was very blessed in that department. As for me, my mom always told me. I knew since I can remember. I met him as an adult. I don’t have a relationship with him. My choice. That’s a whole story. Lol Anyway…. You’ll always be his princess. I hope this helps you find yourself. Sending you lots of positive vibes and happy thoughts! ♥️

She was human a great mom who loved her kids made mistakes but that’s what we love about her . That she didn’t have to be someone else to be liked . We love you Jenicka you are strong 🤍 I believe she needed to tell you only she had her reasons . I would’ve been upset and hurt as well . I hope anyone going thru it can open up to their kids because it heals us from unwanted traumas . We are here today who knows if we are here tomorrow…

The truth will set you free.....You are amazing ...❤

Girl we knew u were different and we could see it. we just needed to know more just like u did. We also needed to give u time to grow and heal; because is been aaalott . But Is ok. Glad u found out and whent with your feelings!

I love you Jenicka I’m here for the journey always have always will.

wow wth!!! Happy you were able to find him but breaks my heart because I know how much you love your daddy!! & he loved you!! But I can understand how confusing this could be for you at first 🤍 my heart goes out to you it’s not easy but you’re blessed to have had your mom & 2 dads ❤

You have no idea how much I can relate to you I find out who my biological father was when I was 10 and I felt like that for so many years is not easy to know that everyone knew but yourself and after finding out a lot of things made sense you are strong for sharing this for you not for no one else

Wow definitely wasn’t expecting this on the very first episode.. I love how you’re healing from many things.. love to see it ❤️🙏🏽

I’m so proud of you!! I know your mom is too! I too hold a secret like this and my baby was blessed with such an amazing father. 😢 her biological dad did not want to be involved. Her dad knows and accepted me pregnant. we both are watching your episode right now and I know one day i will have to sit and explain it to her. Shes 13 and i don’t know if she’s old enough to understand why this happened. Thank you for this! Sending you a huge hug… I will take your words to my heart and not wait so long. Maybe I was meant to watch this 😢❤ many blessings

😭🤍 crying the whole time i love your mom and who she was i just want to hug you that couldnt of been easy your so strong i admire your truth and your heart xoxo

Thank you for sharing this. I went through a similar situation but never blamed my mom.

I’m happy for you Jenicka now you can close that chapter in your life and stop thinking over and over about something that you had the feeling that wasn’t quite fitting in your life; now it will be easier to heal your soul god timing is perfect and now it’s the time that instead of making you feel bad about the situation is giving you peace god bless you Jenicka ❤

Mija , I am so so proud of you, Juan will always be your father you were raised to become an amazing young lady, your mommy is your mommy we are not perfect. I do feel she should have told you. BUT she was only doing what a mother does to protect you. But she loved you all. I am so glad you were able to come to terms and find you and you are okay. God bless you mama

When I was 17 a month before I turned 18, my mom sat me down and told me my “dad” wasn’t my dad and told me about my “sperm donor” he basically didn’t wanna be in my life. So my step dad raised me since I was 2 years old. I knew him as dad my whole life. Im sure your mom wanted to wait to tell you when you were older and more mature to sit you down and tell you. Im so sorry you had to find out this way 😭

✨You are going to glow as your name behind you Jenicka ✨know your story begins.....

Hi Jenicka. I pray for your healing. I don't know why women do this.Your mom probably thought you would never find out. It's not your fault. You are beautiful, strong and I am very proud of you. You're Telling your truth.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My heart truly goes out to you it really does I couldn’t even imagine the heartbreak for you!It is truly amazing to see you bouncing back and more beautifuler then ever sending so much love Jenicka wishing you a happy new year’s n new beginnings ❤

I’m So proud of you. That’s a hard pill to swallow all alone with out any parent. I’m glad you have an amazing support team. Makes life easier. Keep being you Jenicka your amazing. No one is perfect and your mom is proud of you for over coming this. ❤

Wow, JR was an amazing singer and I admire her strength. I cannot imagine her reasoning for not telling her kid the truth given how “real” she was though. Maybe Jenika was too young and of course nobody saw the plan crash coming :( all I know is that these kids have had it rough, on top of the family drama that they are facing right now. Thank you for sharing this with us, must feel so liberating. You’re beautiful!

I’ve been in this situation, I’m 34 years old and my mom still hasn’t told me her story & honestly I haven’t persuade the conversation either. I have a dad tho and he’s a great man
