EP 008: Why Play Needs to Be a Priority with Jenna Phillips Ballard

Jenna Phillips In this episode, Jenna and I got to explore the importance of inviting play into our every day lives. It’s so funny, as adults, we become so restricted that we forget we’re allowed to have FUN! We also touched on the insane power of language. What we chose to say about our circumstances directly affects our emotional and our physical states. Jenna lives by this concept (I’ve seen it first hand) and does an amazing job showcasing the benefits as she walks us through some of her life’s most traumatic experiences.   About Jenna Phillips Jenna began her career in 2006 as a personal trainer and life coach for celebrities and has been featured on Dr. Phil and The Doctors. Halfway through her career, she realized she had a bigger calling. In 2016, she cofounded Ascension Leadership Academy with her husband and they have coached hundreds of people into their greatness. She's also the founder of Unicorn University - where women never spend another day being beige, broke, or behaved.   In this episode, Jenna shares: How playfulness activates higher levels of possibilities in life. Using food and clothes as physical barriers for safety. Loving hurtful parts of the past and using them as tools to strengthen the present. How her Unicorn University encourages women to be who they want.   What You’ll Hear:  5:10-The healing powers of allowing yourself to break down. 9:46- The direct connection our language and our experiences. 15:05- How Jenna cultivated and strengthened a mindset of abundance. 24:00- Using forgiveness to release shame around traumatic experiences.   You can find more of Jenna at:  http://jennaphillipsballard.com http://www.facebook.com/jennaphillipsballard http://www.instagram.com/jennaphillipsballard   Join the Hungry For Happiness community for more! www.facebook.com/hungryforhappiness
