Awakened by the Storm: Turning Grief into Purpose - Jenny Burba

Have you ever walked through a season so painful it changed everything about who you are? Have you faced a loss so deep that it left you questioning if you would ever find your way forward?


Life has a way of bringing moments that stop us in our tracks—times when the path ahead is unclear, and the weight of what we’ve been through feels almost unbearable. In those moments, we’re faced with a choice: to stay buried in the rubble or to rise and step forward into something new.


In this deeply moving talk, speaker and creative resilience coach Jenny Burba invites you into her journey of navigating profound loss, finding healing, and experiencing an awakening that redefined her purpose. With honesty and hope, she shares how seasons of hardship can become training grounds for compassion, courage, and purposeful leadership.


Today, Jenny uses her story to equip others with hope and practical strategies for stepping into leadership, even when life feels broken. Attendees will walk away with:


• Encouragement that God can use every season for good


• A deeper understanding of leadership as service, not status


• Tangible steps to begin leading from a place of authenticity and faith


• A reminder that it’s possible to rise while you’re still healing


This message is for anyone who has faced adversity and wonders if they still have something to give. Jenny’s story is proof that you can be both wounded and wise—and that your greatest trials can become the foundation of your greatest impact. Her awakening is a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, you can rise, lead, and live out your calling with courage and grace.


Jenny Burba is a spirit-led speaker, graphic designer, and creative resilience coach who helps people turn life’s deepest losses into a platform for hope and purpose. A wife, remarried to an incredible husband, mother of thirteen (including two bonus children), and grandmother of three, Jenny has walked through the challenges of teen motherhood, a difficult first marriage, the stillbirth of her 8th child, and the loss of her first husband to COVID.


Rooted in faith and fueled by creativity, she has transformed her own seasons of hardship into a life of service, encouragement, and leadership. Jenny inspires others to discover strength in their stories, to approach leadership with compassion and integrity, and to step into opportunities that honor both their journey and their calling.
