Hello and welcome to The River Foundation Podcast! Today, we speak with Insurance Operations Manager Denise Henderson in the first of a two-parter about her surprising and challenging journey through personal and professional life. We discuss Denise's path to the happy, fulfilled position she thrives in today, and what it took to persevere through numerous obstacles as a mother, partner, and worker, including raising her infant son while her husband was deployed in the Middle East, as well as multiple professional risks. We learn how, through it all, faith and relationships lit the way.
Denise currently serves on the Salvation Army Board, as well as the Kiwanis Club of Danville, and co-chairs the local Downtown River Foundation Committee. She's also served as the assistant director for the Rise and Shine Annual fundraiser for Sunrise Children's Services and is a devoted member of Junction City First Baptist Church where she actively serves on the Personnel Committee. She currently lives in Boyle County with her husband Levi and three children; Logan (14), Lincoln (6), and Lachlan (5 Months).
Episode Highlights:
[0:20] We meet Denise as she tells us how she found her way to the insurance company, including her "character building" experiences in the food service industry.
[2:37] "Work-life-family balance: out of control in that kind of environment!" Denise details some of the challenges and joys that blossomed out of perseverance in the phone service industry.
[3:45] We learn about life as the wife of a soldier and mother of an infant as Denise remembers and honors the early years of her husband's deployment, in honor of Veterans Day.
[6:14] Denise outlines how she, in a particular time of need, landed a great job while Levi, her husband, was overseas.
[8:55] "What are the chances?" Denise recalls how a chance family connection led her to connect with Jimmy Rousey.
[13:50] "I mean it's mind-blowing. It really is." We learn how Denise moved from skepticism to enthusiasm as she decided to leave a well-established job at one of the largest employers in her area to take a risk at the insurance company upon Jimmy Rousey's job offer.
