About Jennifer:

After miscarrying twice in 2015, losing her mom to lung cancer in 2016 and separating from her abusive husband in 2017 Jennifer Fox headed into 2018 knowing she needed to file for divorce, start over and create a happier life. But 2018 had something different in mind. After having a full hysterectomy in October and finalizing her divorce in November, she was sure 2019 would be better. And then she lost her baby brother Justin to a heroin overdose on December 5th, just 6 days after becoming legally divorced at 45 years old.

In 2019 Jennifer found herself in a rapid downward spiral to nowhere, drinking at least one bottle of wine a day, sometimes two, and sometimes topping that off with a "nightcap". By the fall she was quite literally drowning in grief over the loss of her brother, drinking like a raging alcoholic and had also put on 40 pounds. So she made a pact with herself. Instead of doing her annual Dry January, she was going to give up drinking for an entire year. In addition, she was going to become a runner, something she had dreamt of for many, many years, because runners embodied everything she wanted to be: dedicated, disciplined, fit and able to tackle hard things. To do this she committed to run one 5K every month until she could run the 3.1 miles without stopping to walk and feeling like she might die, her first being the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, 2019.

2020 started off awesome, with the 3 day personal development conference for women created by Rachel Hollis, and at least 6 months of races on the calendar. By the time the global pandemic hit she was down 20 pounds, betting better at running each week and feeling incredibly strong in her sobriety. Though most people will find this hard to believe, Jennifer firmly states that despite COVID and the million dollar loss in her business because of it, 2020 was the best year of her adult life. Why? Tune in to hear her incredible story of loss, resilience, courage and authenticity, along with where her relationship is with alcohol today.
