S2 Episode 5 - Jen Wright

Samoan author, entrepreneur, and mother of seven Jen Wright joins me on the podcast. Academically skilled and very driven Jen felt like she was unstoppable. Graduating secondary school in New Zealand to pursue a university degree which would qualify her as a commercial pilot. Jen found herself at a dead stop, with an illness that would prohibit her ability to fly. Jen discloses some of the challenges she faced and how she turned her drive for her career into becoming a mother.Years later after another incident, Jen found herself looking for ways to aid her recovery. That is when her business journey began. Feelings of "I'm just a mum" and "I've been out of the workforce for too long" flooded her mind. However, Jen knew she had a story and she loved to yarn. With those strengths in hand, Jen was able to empower others with similar experiences to overcome and redeem what was once lost. Many tours, workshops, and events Jen found herself writing a book.You can find Jen's book here,https://www.amazon.com/RedeemHer-Heart-stories-hide-behind/dp/1777173418
