What happens when your childhood is defined by surgeries, pain, and a degenerative bone disease—and you grow up to become a powerful advocate for women’s health, strength, and potential? You get Jenny Rappole.
In this inspiring conversation, Jenny shares how she transformed early challenges into a lifelong passion for movement, wellness, and helping women in midlife reconnect with their bodies. Now a fitness and wellness coach—and a newly appointed member of the Board of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation—Jenny empowers women to start exactly where they are, one small step at a time.
