ABOUT THE AUTHOR

On April 15, 2013, Jennifer Kauffman was standing approximately 15 feet from the finish line bombing at the 117th Boston Marathon. She was one of at least 264 people who was seriously injured.

Jennifer was at the height of her career. She had just come off her best year in business – recently signed a publishing deal with Balboa Press to launch her first book – when life threw her an unexpected and horrific curve ball. She literally felt ‘shattered’ as a result of the bombings. Despite suffering severe physical and emotional injuries from the blast, she eventually shed her survivor’s guilt and mental scars, and began a journey of deep healing. Aiming to heal herself naturally of this and past traumas, her mission became one of searching out effective support and treatment options, which she shares in this remarkable book. She left behind her fear, panic, anxiety, and rage. And she found gratitude, hope, and even forgiveness for the terrorist. As Shattered shows us, we can bury trauma and allow it to make us sick, or we can tackle it head-on and find a place of healing. By uniting mind, body, and spirit, it is possible to transform trauma into a source of inspiration and strength.

Jennifer is an award-winning results coach, inspirational speaker and recently named executive producer of the documentary A New Leash on Life: The K9s for Warriors Story. This inspirational film sheds light on veterans returning from war with PTSD and the real struggles they face re-entering into civilian life. This film is near and dear to Jennifer’s heart because of the struggles she faced suffering from PTSD after the Boston Marathon bombing.

In 2017, Jennifer received the Quilly award for her contributions in Jack Canfield’s best-selling book, Mastering the Art of Success. Jennifer was inducted into the National Academy of Experts, Writers, and Speakers in 2016 and in 2011 she was awarded the Stars 40 Under 40 award as an emerging leader in her community.

Jennifer enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, traveling the world, outdoor adventures, attending transformational seminars and workshops, reading and writing, as well as giving back to charitable organizations that make a profound difference in the lives of others.

“Jennifer Kauffman’s Shattered is more than just a gripping true-life story. It is an informative and self-empowering presentation on the new science of behavioral epigenetics. Epigenetics reveals how images in the mind are translated by the brain into neurochemistry that, in turn, directly controls genetics and behavior. Jennifer’s engaging life story illuminates the science of how our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs directly control our inner health and outer life experiences. Shattered’s story and insights offer a valuable opportunity to acquire the personal empowerment necessary to become the master of your fate rather than be the ‘victim’ of your life experiences.”
