Jenny Donnelly

At just 23 years old, Jenny achieved what many young adults strive for—a Bachelor of Science degree and a promising entry into the workforce. But within just a year, she felt an unmistakable dissatisfaction that she couldn’t ignore. Driven by her longing for purpose, she made a bold decision: she quit her job and became a Starbucks barista.

What might have seemed like a step backward to some was actually the beginning of a profound realization. While working behind the counter, Jenny’s entrepreneurial spirit began to stir. She found herself dreaming of ways to improve customer experiences and operations, only to realize she didn’t have the authority to bring those ideas to life. That’s when the truth hit her—she was created to lead, innovate, and build. Jenny was an entrepreneur at heart.

At the age of 24, fueled by faith and determination, Jenny and her husband started their first business with only $50. Over the next 20 years, that tiny seed grew into a flourishing company with 65,000 sales consultants and several prestigious national awards. But the accolades and achievements weren’t what truly fulfilled her.

Jenny discovered her deepest joy came from helping others step into their God-given potential. The passion to see others succeed in business became her kingdom obsession. Through her own journey, she realized that building a business wasn’t just about creating wealth—it was about advancing the Kingdom of God by empowering others to pursue their dreams and live out their calling.

Today, Jenny and her husband reside in Portland, Oregon, where they run multiple businesses and pour their hearts into their nonprofit ministry, Her Voice Movement. As a mom of five, Jenny is a living testament to the power of faith, perseverance, and God’s grace. She is overjoyed to teach young people how to steward God-inspired dreams of owning and operating kingdom businesses, equipping the next generation to impact the marketplace for Christ.

Jenny’s story reflects the words of Ephesians 3:20:

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

With God’s power at work, Jenny’s journey is a testament to the immeasurable impact of living fully surrendered to His purpose.
