Resilience Redefined with Jennifer Rome: Overcoming Crisis, Rebuilding Dreams, and Leaving a Lasting Legacy
Jennifer Rome describes herself as on a mission to make a positive impact on all she crosses paths with. She serves as a mortgage advisor for Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation and is the co-founder and president of a local non-profit called The Giving Professional KC. She is a mother to two incredible young men and is proud to be a Kansas City native.
In 2019 and 2020, her world was turned upside-down and she had to quickly make choices on how she would rebuild. She was finalizing an extremely tumultuous divorce, when she would encounter a life-threatening health crisis and then lost her job due Covid, just before closing on the purchase of her new home. Essentially, she and her boys were displaced from everything they knew with limited ability to rebuild.
But Jennifer is not one to succumb to crisis and knew her mindset and the small choices she made each day would lead her and her boys to a new life.
And she is not stopping there. Instead, she is using her experiences to connect with others and to give back to those whose hardships are great.
Her goal is to be a voice of inspiration for anyone who needs the courage of another to overcome their heartache and their hardship.
Upcoming projects include a podcast and a book. Although neither yet has a release date, she is one to watch. She is particularly interested in human stories and the power that sharing offers us on our journey to live profound lives,
And in her words, “At the end of my life, I intend to look back and say "Yes, I lived! And, yes, I made a difference for the people in my life! And if I am lucky, I will leave a legacy!".
Our conversation will make you laugh and cry but you will leave inspired by hearing Jennifer's story. Please enjoy!
