In this transformative episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we sit down with Jennifer Kenney-Smith — a radiant force of healing and transformation who turned her own burnout into a sacred awakening. Once a high-achieving corporate leader, Jennifer faced chronic illness, anxiety, and deep emotional exhaustion before surrendering to a different way of living — one rooted in Ayurveda, Yoga, and divine connection.
Through her powerful blend of somatic healing, empowerment coaching, and spiritual practice, Jennifer helps others reconnect to their worth and rebuild their lives from the inside out. In this heartfelt conversation, she opens up about her personal turning point, what surrender really means, and how unprocessed emotions manifest as physical symptoms.
Together, we explore:
- How ancient healing practices bring relief, modern medicine often overlooks
- The connection between “undigested emotions” and physical illness
- How neuroplasticity and NLP can reprogram limiting beliefs
- The sacred art of surrender and divine guidance
- The power of inner child work, journaling, and self-compassion
- How to move from burnout and self-doubt to spiritual embodiment and freedom
