I always enjoy laughing and diving deep with today’s guest, Donna Jenson, founder of Time to Tell, author, and so much more. Please join us as we discuss:
Donna’s writing workshops
her Telling is Healing documentary film
her empowering book Healing My Life – From Incest to Joy
Writing circles, leadership retreats, and collage exhibits
Donna began her healing journey from the trauma of childhood incest in 1980 in her early thirties. Along that journey, she has embraced many healing therapies and artistic expressions as well as built a family of choice to make her life worth living. She came of age within the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s helping to build three grassroots women’s centers. Jenson is keenly aware of the healing aspect of activism – the empowerment of standing up for the social change of one’s own issue. By 1998 she understood that breaking the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse was key in eradicating the epidemic. Her mission is to do all she can to spark stories from lives affected by incest and sexual abuse to be told and heard. Along with leading writing circles for survivors, she wrote a book, Healing My Life from Incest to Joy, a play, What She Knows, and produced a documentary Telling Is Healing. She also coaches survivors to reach their goals and realize their visions.

Such a deep dive with Dr. Constance Scharff, PhD, award-winning and bestselling author, international mental health educator, and badass leader who helps women become empowered to create meaningful change. Please join us as we discuss:
Dr. Constance’s various books on addiction and trauma recovery
Constance Scharff, also known by her Hebrew name Ahuva Batya, has a PhD in Transformative Studies, specializing in radically transformative personal experience. She is a full time author and speaker, traveling around the world to help people overcome trauma and addiction.
Dr. Scharff is an award-winning, bestselling author. Her debut novel, The Path to God’s Promise, debuts October 13, 2023. In this book, Elinor Simentov, a Jewish women of no renown, is asked by God to share an urgent message about climate change, to let us know clearly that we are on a dangerous path and need to recreate our communities now. This book examines issues of faith, self-determination, and our power to transform both our lives and literally to change the world.
In her role as an addiction and trauma researcher, Dr. Scharff brings the latest in evidence-based, complementary addiction and trauma treatment information to those who suffer worldwide from addiction and trauma. She has spoken at conferences and shared information with researchers and mental health professionals globally. Her passion is working with mental health professionals to use a wide range of practices that improve treatment outcomes. She also works to eliminate the stigma that is too often associated with addiction, trauma, and other mental health issues, so that individuals in need of care will be able to receive that support. In 2019, she received St. Lawrence University’s Sol Feinstone Humanitarian Award for her advocacy and work on behalf of those with mental health, trauma, and substance use issues.
Dr. Scharff’s current writing project is a nonfiction look at the concept of bravery. A Year of Living Bravely is both a memoir and a heuristic inquiry into how some people work to find solutions to seemingly overwhelming personal and community problems. Through the lens of her experience personally recovering from addiction and trauma, Dr. Scharff is exploring both the everyday — what we eat and the choices we make — to the larger impacts of global systems on indigenous and marginalized communities. It’s an ambitious project!
Dr. Scharff is currently traveling for the book’s research. To support her research, you can donate to her Go Fund Me effort.
Dr. Scharff is a member of the Society for Consciousness Studies, American Psychological Association, Interamerican Society of Psychology, World Federation for Mental Health, and the International Society for Contemplative Research. Additionally, she is the founder and director of the Institute for Complementary and Indigenous Mental Health Research, a consortium of scholars and practitioners working to expand access to and the definitions of mental healthcare. She is also a life-long Girl Scout.

I learned so very much during this fascinating conversation with the brilliant Dr. J Dunn, Natural Health Practitioner, CEO and founder of My Happy Genes. Please join us as we discuss:
Dr. J’s personal story of discovering the impact her genetic make-up was having on her lifelong battle with depression
her brilliant insights on various genes and their impact on our physical and mental health
the various testing and reports available through her My Happy Genes programs
With a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and a Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences, along with training in Functional Medicine, Dr. J Dunn has been practicing Natural Medicine for over thirty years. She has dedicated her life to helping her patients, as well as herself and family, to achieve optimal health.
In fact, Dr. Dunn began her journey to becoming a Natural Health Practitioner in search of a way to heal herself from debilitating chronic fatigue and depression. So, she knows first-hand both the physical and emotional pain of suffering without answers and being blamed by those she desperately wanted to help her heal.
People have been coming to Dr. Dunn from all over the world for help with conditions and symptoms that have defied both traditional and naturopathic diagnosis and treatment. In fact, by 2013 her practice was so successful that she had a waiting list of over a year for new patients!
She began to realize she needed to find a way to help far more people than she could treat personally. So, for the last 8 years, she shifted her focus to teaching and researching. Because, despite her significant success in helping people individually, she knew there still had to be a simpler way to get to the root cause of the conditions and symptoms that plague millions, yet for which there is minimal to no relief available.
As Dr. Dunn shares: “Through this quest, I discovered the key to unlocking the secrets to optimal emotional and physical wellbeing – a way to easily identify the root cause of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. That key is your genetic code.”
Over the last 10 years, Dr Dunn and her team have been mapping the genes specifically related to brain chemistry to help her patients and teach other Healthcare Professionals to help theirs. They have identified the genetic patterns that contribute to conditions associated with mental and emotional health. The MyHappyGenes® Dynamic Algorithm is able to target and analyze over 570 specific genes.
