In this inspiring episode, host Monica Fullerton sits down with Jennifer Cornelius, a Marine Corps veteran and East Regional Security Director at U.S. Bank, to share her incredible story of resilience, faith, and self-discovery. From a Brooklyn childhood dreaming of driving New York City trains to a decorated 13-year Marine career, Jennifer's journey shows how challenges can forge clarity and purpose. She opens up about single motherhood, transitioning out of the military, finding her footing in corporate security, and the power of slowing down long enough to truly be present in the life you're building.
