Ep 63 | Finding Victory Over Loss and Choosing to Remain Positive
Jennifer Hansen has such a powerful story of overcoming much loss and having victory over it, choosing to find the positive in her circumstances and find joy in the journey. The episode is a continuation of the 2020 Boston Marathon qualifying mama conversations. 2020 was a year like no other, but Jen Hansen had some devastation in 2019 leading up to the unpredictable year.
I’m thankful she was willing to share with us some of that time and how she made it through. I think it will be an encouragement for you today, as it was for me. I found myself getting emotional right along with her as she poured out her heart! Running has become what Jen chooses to do with her free time. The run is her place to pray, reflect, plan her day, even socialize, and just become a better version of herself.
