I’ve had more than 50+ guests on Legal Grounds up to this point, and almost all of them can point to a moment when something in life “hit them like a ton of bricks,” or came crashing in like a “train off the tracks” and changed their path.
My guest this week, however, is not speaking metaphorically when she says life hit her like a loaded pickup truck.
Because it did.
Literally.
In 2008, Jennifer Lynn Robinson was a 10 year attorney who had everything going for her: solid marriage, first-time home owner, promising career. And that’s when a truck decided to jump the curb and nearly kill her.
Initially thrilled to have simply survived, Jennifer began the long journey toward relearning, well… everything.
She has since taken up boxing, spoken on the TedX stage, become a Pennsylvania delegate for the Vision 2020 campaign, and in the meantime, she managed to found her own thriving business venture - Purposeful Networking.
Jennifer and I discuss what it means to be grateful in the face of trauma, how to deal with those who don’t want you to get back up, and why networking is both overwrought and absolutely necessary.
Enjoy the show!
