Jennifer’s Popular Keynotes
WE ALL HAVE DEMONS. MINE WAS AN EATING DISORDER:
TRANSCENDING DIAGNOSES AND EMBRACING YOUR PERSONAL POWER
It’s so easy to define ourselves in terms of diagnoses and neurosis. Our demons take shape and become our identity. “I have an eating disorder.” “I have an anxiety disorder.” “I am clinically depressed.” When our demons take over our identities, we lose connection with the expansiveness of who we truly are. And they win.
In this illuminating talk, Jennifer invites attendees to reconnect with the fullness of their innate story and to embrace themselves through a new lens. By exploring popular representations of mental illness as demons and illustrating why this depiction is disempowering and demeaning, Jennifer uses her own story of eating disorder recovery to focus on how to reframe “demon” (and language like it) to “teacher”. In identifying the gifts and strengths in your own story, she shows us how much is possible when we come from a place of self- acceptance.
FULL HOUSE, HUNGRY MOTHER:
MOTHERHOOD AND EATING DISORDER RECOVERY
Motherhood is challenging. Add an eating disorder and the struggles intensify in some very specific ways. Jennifer highlights the enormous undertaking of women within eating disorder recovery in all phases of motherhood, including before and during pregnancy. From body image concerns and a (re)emergence of eating disorder symptoms to emotional overwhelm, depression and physical exhaustion, Jennifer, through her own motherhood journey, shares how she lived to tell the story of relapse and revival. By gathering women together to assure them that they are not alone in these difficulties Jennifer offers strategies for learning how to both connect to their strengths as women and mothers and reframe their struggles as progress and their challenges as teachers.
The Language of Recovery at Home and Beyond:
Nurturing Healthy Conversations About Food, Body Image, and Exercise
As the mother of two girls, and having gone through eating disorder recovery, Jennifer has first-hand experience with how social messages about food, body image, and exercise can leave a lasting impression and has dedicated her work to educate the masses on how certain messaging leads to eating disorders, body dysmorphia, depression, and anxiety.
Zooming in on the incredible power of our words to both undermine and support eating disorder recovery and mental health in general, Jennifer demonstrates what many popular slogans and buzz phrases really mean and offers new language to incorporate into your self-talk and conversations at home in the name of recovery, personal empowerment, and social change.
UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY AND TRAUMA:
THE MIND BODY CONNECTION
The various manifestations of anxiety in response to trauma are complex, and often exacerbated by the social pressures of the digital age. In recent years, peer-reviewed studies have recognized the increasing significance of the mind-body connection in treating anxiety and trauma. Movement practices with an emphasis on mindfulness, such as yoga, and other mind-body techniques that downregulate the nervous system are helpful tools for those with anxiety, a history of trauma, or both.
In this timely and interactive talk, Jennifer handles these sensitive issues with care and grace, addressing the relationship between anxiety and trauma and educating about the scientifically-proven benefits of mind-body practices. Through experiential exercises, Jennifer demonstrates simple mind-body tools that tap directly into the nervous system’s ability to restore calm and presence, making them valuable tools for individuals dealing with anxiety, a history of trauma, or both. Attendees will walk away with a deep understanding of the issue and can use these mind-body tools personally, in clinical settings with clients, or in the classroom with students.
