This week Blair and Theresa welcome Jana Kapp to Dissecting Success. Jana shares her incredible evolving journey to embrace all of herself while recovering from concussions, which ultimately led her to becoming her soul self. This discovery shifted her feelings on healing by changing her perspective from external to internal. Jana was caught up in the should of “how to be” but there was a voice that kept coming up saying “you are not living the way you desire”.  This launched her into starting her Holistic Concussion Support Coach business. Although concussions are a form of brain injury, the symptoms are not only physical but emotional as well.  A functional MRI isn’t commonly available, so it is important to learn to trust and get to know yourself!

She has a neuroscience background in Physiotherapy and Kinesiology and has personally healed from 3 Concussions and lived with PTSD and Post Concussion Symptoms for 7 years. She has been symptom free since 2018.

Through her background in Neuroscience and Human Design, she supports you in understanding your brain, mind, emotions and energy to realign with your true essence so you can feel like yourself again and return to the life you truly desire to live.

Jennifer Berk Weisman started her swimwear business in a male dominated world despite being told she wasn’t going to make it. Not only did she succeed, she attained everything she wanted to in the first month of business. During the pandemic, more time was freed up, giving her more perspective to get inspired to start writing. In her book "Sink or Swim" Jennifer shares her story of an accident that caused severe injuries, from PTSD to a brain injury, which led her to evaluating what she really wanted and what her life and business was going to look like moving forward.

About the Guest:

Jennifer Berk Weisman is the owner of Just Bones Boardwear, a swim apparel company featuring her patented adjustable waist design. She never set out to build a fashion empire, but Jennifer realized there was a void in the market for boys boardshorts during a frustrating shopping excursion.  

A creative problem-solver, she designed innovative boardshorts that offered the “perfect fit” for boys in-between sizes who didn’t fit traditional fixed-waist boardshorts. Soon after, the brand expanded to include swimwear for toddlers, men, and women.

A standout in the swimwear industry, Just Bones Boardwear’s adjustable waist technology won Jennifer two patents and TasteTV’s Best Swimwear of 2016 Award for special functionality. Just Bones Boardwear has been featured in ELLE, InStyle, Vogue, and Fashion Week Online, as well as other major press. Jennifer’s boardshorts were worn throughout Ghost Shark, an original Syfy movie which premiered in 2013 during Shark Week.

Jennifer lives in Arizona with her husband, sons, and dogs. She enjoys the outdoors, yoga, photography, volunteer work, and gourmet cooking.
