Jennifer Kwapis

I am a determined and strong-willed woman with wisdom that surpasses my years. Raised by my amazing mother, Wendy, who had me at just 19, I faced the early departure of my biological father when I was four. At nine, my stepfather Tony adopted me, and he has been a constant support ever since. Together, they welcomed my much younger brother, Peter, but tragically, we lost our mother, my best friend and role model, to breast cancer nine years ago (2015).

Today, I am a full-time working mother of two: my daughter Brooke, who is 10, and my son Reid, who is 8. I've been with my wonderful partner in crime Drew for 20 years, and we've been happily married for 13 years. We share our home with three English Springer Spaniels, who I adore.

 

I believe my superpower is attracting the most incredible people into my life; many of my friends have been by my side since the sixth grade, and I feel fortunate to raise my family alongside them in our hometown of New Baltimore, Michigan.

In my adult life, I discovered I have three additional siblings from my biological father: Jordan, Hunter, and Mark. They have been wonderful additions to my family, and I cherish the relationships we are building as we reconnect.

​

Though I have persevered through a lot in my 38 years, I truly have lived a wonderful life.  Come with me as I talk about all the things with some incredible people on my podcast.  I am so thankful you are here, and know we have much to learn from one another.
