Hello! My friends call me Jenn, so please consider yourself among them. I’m a published author of a self-help memoir about my life growing up in dysfunction. Emotional, physical and sexual abuse and their effects plagued me and as a result my relationships were a pattern of their own dysfunction. Working through both my past and my more current relationships made me realize how many others there are out there struggling through the same issues as well as the parents with children who have been abused. I’ve reached out to people as a writer, public speaker, blogger, podcaster (which is some of the most fun I’ve had) and an online coach which fuels my passion to pay it forward and help with healing.
17 children have blessed my life. That’s not a typo – Eighteen. Infertility, seven pregnancies (which contradicts infertility, I suppose), 12 years of foster care and adoption and I was blessed to end up with them from everywhere. More than “Yours, Mine, Ours” – an amalgam of foster children who aged out, adopted children, step children and even some biological children. It. Is. Awesome. Growing up in dysfunction fueled me and foster care was one way of giving back. Someone made a difference to me, so I wanted to pay it forward.
