‘You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.‘ CS Lewis
Jennifer Menard-Shand is living proof of this quote, and her incredible and at times heart-wrenching story of turning impossibility into possibilities. Jennifer will inspire you. Jennifer lives a happy childhood until her parent’s divorce. Stability turned into instability as her Mother chases her demons, chooses a series of abusive partners, and any hope of normality by always moving. Things go from bad to much worse when her Mom remarried and Jennifer went from being a thirteen-year-old looking for guidance to the one trying to protect her Mom. One night, with her Mom lying on the floor, bleeding from shattered glass. Jennifer reaches for a knife to protect her from another abusive boyfriend. Jennifer starts looking for her own escape by travelling down dark paths of drugs, alcohol, petty crime and even witchcraft. The power of this story is in what Jennifer did to change her circumstances. A move to Toronto, a mentor who believed and encouraged her to chase purpose with passion, her faith. Jennifer finds success and validation and realizing that inside her was the power to choose her destiny. Today, Jennifer is a successful entrepreneur, and owner of Staff Shop, a role model, inspirational speaker, and soon-to-be Mother.
