Main Topics

• The Power of Boundaries

• Why setting boundaries at work (and sticking to them!) is essential for your mental and emotional well-being.

• Small but mighty steps you can take: turning off email notifications, taking that lunch break you’ve been skipping, and using your PTO without guilt.

• Rediscovering Joy

• How tapping into your childhood passions—whether it’s dancing, swimming, or exploring—can be the secret to rejuvenation.

• Why reconnecting with your younger self might just be the key to figuring out what’s missing in your life right now.

• Cultural Influences on Health

• Navigating traditional foods and finding healthier alternatives without sacrificing joy (yes, you can still have your arroz con frijoles and cafecito).

• Why health isn’t just about age—it’s about how years of habits have shaped your body and mind.

• Non-Negotiables for a Balanced Life

• Janessa’s personal priorities: family time, four-day weekends, unplugged vacations, and staying present for the big and small moments.

• The surprising things that fuel her: dancing, singing with her kids, and unapologetically embracing joy.
