My guest for Happy Hour #111 is Jen Bricker. Born without legs and placed for adoption at birth, Jen is an aerialist, acrobat and a state champion in power tumbling. She has appeared as a headliner at the prestigious Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas, New York’s Lincoln Center, the Shangri-La Hotel in Dubai, and the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. In her new book, Everything is Possible, Jen writes about her faith, drive, and determination, and continues to prove to herself and others that nothing is impossible.
I loved talking with Jen so much. I think this episode may have more surprises in it than any before. I won't spoil them all, but I will tell you she casually mentions being on tour with a very famous popstar and she tells the story about discovering that an iconic American Olympian is her biological sister. How's that for a teaser?
I just know you're going to love this episode, love learning about Jen, and love hearing how God was so purposeful in Jen's circumstances to weave together such an amazing and powerful story. Jen has been so faithful in recognizing God's hand in her life and is using her story to make His name great.
To learn more about Jen and her journey, determination and perseverance, you'll want to grab a copy of her book: Everything is Possible.

This podcast was AWESOME! I am embarrassed to say how obsessed I am with your podcast and all the phenomenal women whom with you visit. If you don’t mind, I have two amazing guest suggestions. I have followed these women for over 2 years and they are God-loving business women with infertility and adoption stories. Emily Ley (emilyley.com) and Lara Casey (laracasey.com). It would so fun to hear a chat between you and these gals.
