Let’s Talk About What You’re Feeling

My dog Leo and I want to help you talk with your children about the complicated emotions we’re all feeling now.

Let’s Talk About What You’re Feeling:

  1. Are we going to be okay?
  2. Why do you have to be gone so long?
  3. Why am I feeling anxious?

Let’s Talk About Your Feelings, For children of medical and healthcare professionals:

  1. I worry about you being safe at work?

Heart Spa

Heart SpaWomen are often misdiagnosed with anxiety when they’re really having a heart attack. This program helped women better know the connection between their emotions, thoughts and hearts.

I hosted the first Heart Spa with Women Heart, the National Coalition of Women with Heart Disease at City Art

And the second Heart Spa with Palmetto Health Heart Hospital in Columbia at 701 Whaley

Jakes Journey
