Summary

"When I was a professional dancer, I felt the worst in my body when I probably looked my best to the outside world. That's when I knew something had to change." - Jennifer Joy Jimenez

In this energizing episode, I sat down with Jennifer Joy Jimenez, transformational leader and founder of the Brave Thinking Institute's health and wellbeing division, to explore how conscious movement can revolutionize both physical and emotional wellbeing after 40. Jennifer shares her powerful journey from professional dancer battling body shame to pioneering Transcendance, an innovative blend of movement, mindfulness, and energy healing. The science is clear - social dance can decrease Alzheimer's risk by up to 76% while flooding our bodies with mood-boosting hormones. We dive deep into how incorporating just minutes of mindful movement daily can transform stress, unlock creativity, and reignite joy at any age. Jennifer reveals practical strategies for breaking free from rigid exercise mindsets and embracing movement as medicine for both body and soul.

What you'll learn:

How conscious dance can activate happy hormones and reduce stress in just minutes a day
The profound mind-body connection and its role in healing trauma
Why movement is essential for maintaining cognitive function and reducing dementia risk
Simple ways to incorporate playful movement into your daily routine
The science behind using dance for emotional and physical wellbeing
How to break free from perfectionist exercise patterns
Practical strategies for connecting with your body's innate wisdom
