Hi, I’m Tennyson Jacobson
As a married mother of two, my husband Kyle, an active-duty firefighter, and I live securely tucked into the mountains of Washington state. Since selling our CrossFit gym, I’ve worked to integrate myself into our community as a trusted insurance agent and owner of Tennyson Jacobson Agency. I continue to pursue my love of fitness and healthy living adding mental health as part of my journey since a home invasion in 2013.
My goal with Common Ground is to demonstrate that when we share stories, whether unique or universal, there is common ground from which to build connection.
I hope you are able to take away some key points from the podcast. If you know of someone who has experienced trauma and could benefit from the show, I invite you to share with them as they continue their journey of healing.
