When Pain Becomes Purpose: The Art & Resilience of Jennifer Troice | The Susana Gibb Show
What if the hardest thing you’ve ever lived through became the very thing that unlocked your creativity?
On The Susana Gibb Show, I sit down with artist, sculptor, and author Jennifer Troice, this conversation stays with you.
Jennifer opens up about the traumatic event that changed her life at 17, and how she turned that unimaginable moment into a career built on healing, beauty, and purpose. Her bronze sculptures, her book, her “helping hands,” even her new movement Hope Foundry, they all started with the decision to show up for herself when it mattered most.
We talk about:
✨ How creativity becomes a tool for resilience
✨ Turning a simple catalog into a published book
✨ The truth behind bronze sculpting (it’s way more involved than people think)
✨ Why art is essential for community well-being
✨ The power of vulnerability in leadership, business, and life
✨ How one story can build a ripple effect of hope
✨ And yes — how Jennifer literally transforms trauma into something people can physically hold
If you’re a small business owner, entrepreneur, creative, BNI member, or just someone trying to show up with courage, this episode will fuel your soul. It’s emotional, inspiring, and full of the reminders we all need when life gets loud.
Hit play. Take a breath. And let Jennifer’s story move you.
