From Surviving to Thriving: Reinventing Your Career

What if your greatest pain became the fuel for your greatest reinvention?

In this powerful and heart-centered episode, Leann Herron sits down with Jen Jaciw, a Career Ownership Coach, Speaker, and Entrepreneur who helps people break free from burnout and step into business ownership that truly lights them up. With over 25 years of experience spanning Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Entrepreneurship—including founding a thriving transportation company in Silicon Valley—Jen brings both strategic savvy and lived wisdom to her work.

But what truly sets Jen apart is her personal transformation. As a survivor of domestic violence and the daughter of an addict, Jen knows firsthand what it means to move from survival to empowerment. She shares the turning point that led her to reclaim ownership of her life and career—and how that decision now fuels her mission to guide others through reinvention.
