Emotional Wellness Presentations

Emotional resilience ambassador, motivational speaker,

and mom.

Many years of my marriage and family life were spent unhealthy and dysfunctional. Our family suffered from the consequences of untreated mental illness.

 

In 2017, the shock of my son's suicide jolted me into an instant awareness of the depth of darkness that we had been enduring. 

​

We began professional therapy.  I got divorced and simultaneously started on a spiritual journey of healing which included loads of reading and research.  I became fascinated by the power of the mind and how thoughts and words changed the structure of the brain (neuroplasticity). I learned that Neuroplasticity and mindfulness practices were proven to reduce anxiety and depression, improve sleep and in some cases lower blood pressure , cope with pain and even increase IQ. The more I learned, the more I wanted to share.

 

My prayer is that by sharing what I have learned with others that they will have the desire to use these techniques emerge stronger and more resilient. I pray that through learning about this research that their confidence will increase and they will realize that they have a God given purpose. They are not helpless but with grit and intention they can affect their future. 

 

John 10:10 says that the thief comes to steal kill and destroy but Jesus said that He came to bring life and life in abundance. 

 

Life is a tapestry of highs and lows. Celebrate the highs, stay in those emotional spaces and enjoy them.  Being grateful and thinking on what is praiseworthy and lovely is actually good for your brain.

“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing,

Now it will spring forth;

Will you not be aware of it?

I will even put a road in the wilderness,

Rivers in the desert."

Isaiah 43:19
