The festive season is a time to slow down and be thankful for your loved ones and the good things in your life, but it’s not a joyous time for everyone. HGTV’s Jasmine Roth has reflected on her childhood and the traumas she endured in a vulnerable, emotional post.
Jasmine Roth Makes Honest Confession
The HGTV “Hidden Potential” and “HELP! I Wrecked My House” star posted a video on Instagram on December 23 showing herself, her husband, Brett Roth, and their two children, Hazel Lynn Roth and Darla Rose Roth. They are seated on the sofa, eating popcorn in front of their Christmas tree. They look so happy. In the text overlay on the video, Roth wrote, “I wish I’d known as a child, you can grow up in a house filled with chaos and unnecessary drama and still one day create a home without it. This is ours.”
In the caption, she shared her thoughts. “I waited a LONG time to have kids, and one of the main reasons was that I didn’t know if I would be able to create a chaos-free home,” she began. “Chaos and drama was what I knew and it took me most of my adult life to learn how to set boundaries and prioritize healthy relationships. To step away from the chaos and be ok with it.”
She continued, “If you had a tumultuous childhood, chances are you’re in this same boat. Just know that your past doesn’t define your future. You can learn, you can change, and you can grow far behind what others may think possible. And while it will probably be the hardest decision you’ve ever made, and will continue to be on a daily basis, you can build the home you always wished for.”

Roth’s fans flooded the comment section of her post with supportive messages about how she has broken the cycle. “If you didn’t come from a healthy family, make sure one comes from you. We can overcome,” a fan wrote.
“Thank you for always showing your human side, your vulnerability, your feelings, your expectations, your struggle!” another fan shared. “Being that genuine and honest just makes me emotional and proud! Merry Christmas to you and your entire family!”
Other reactions include, “I, too, broke the generational curse. We are blessed,” “This is such honesty. Thank you. I’m sure this post will help others. Merry Christmas!,” and “Beautiful message! Love watching your shows because you are so positive! I’d watch your tv shows when I had my first girl and it was so edifying for me.”
Roth has shared a glimpse of her Christmas celebrations this year, posting photos from their holiday card, offering a look into her home, and accurately portraying what the festive season looks like with two small children.
Jasmine, you are BEAUTIFUL inside and out!!! You have a WONDERFUL family 💖❤️💖❤️ So happy for you🥰🥰🥰
