“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved, and always will solve the problems of the human race.” – Calvin Coolidge.
My next guest is Jennifer Tracy.
When I think of persistence and perseverance, I think of Jennifer. Jennifer is on a mission to save lives. With courage and grit, she continues to inspire high functioning leaders to stop struggling silently and teaches the necessary steps it takes to find life on the other side of depression, anxiety, PTSD, perfectionism and possibly even thoughts of suicide.
Jennifer knows pain, the pain of burying a husband and child. The pain of being diagnosed with PTSD and the silent pain that she describes as ‘Scars That People Can’t See.’
Eight years after her loved ones died in a horrific car crash, Jennifer faced yet another battle surviving traumatic brain surgery, undergoing a Chiari I Brain Malformation Decompression. Real-life adversity has not let up for her.
Her message for you- pain is universal- what you choose to do with it is powerful. Resiliency comes from mastering the necessary skills it takes to endure, grow and never give up.
Her studies at the Metropolitan State University of Denver that she finds most relevant to her business mission and enhance her programs include Human Services, Criminal Justice, Victimology, PTSD and Psychology, however she feels the most useful degree she holds is her Honorary Doctorate in “RLE” (Real Life Experience)!
Early in Jennifer’s life, she experienced abuse on many levels. In spite of those hardships, she graduated a year early from high school with a 4.0 GPA. At the age of 29, she lost her husband and one of her twin daughters in a car crash caused by a drunk driver. Her other two surviving daughters McKayla and Amber, who were left permanently injured, have both graduated from high school, and her oldest daughter McKayla recently graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Criminal Justice Degree.
In 2009 she was invited to be the keynote speaker at the annual MADD Law Enforcement Recognition Event in Denver. Since then she has positively influenced countless thousands with her community programs, speeches, and her book, “Inside the Mind of Suicide.” Her life’s purpose is to help others never give up and find life on the other side of grief, thoughts of suicide, pain, regret, and adversity.
These roles allow Jennifer to work as a true force for good in the world.
A powerful show with a strong and powerful woman.
