Jennifer Nunes is the definition of someone with strength, #resiliency, #vulnerability and self-awareness.

On this episode, Jen states “This is our upbringing too...this is intergenerational stuff where we are taught [to be] stoic and strong, and being non-emotional is strength and the reality is actually quite the opposite. It's when we get in touch [with ourselves] and the truth is, we need to be honest with ourselves. We can't be self-aware and grow, if we aren't honest with ourselves."

Jennifer is a Registered Social Worker, Author and Public Speaker. She is the founder of Nourished Soul Therapy - a collective of independent clinicians that work collaboratively to provide comprehensive, evidence-informed care to clients across Ontario with virtual therapy and counselling services. 

Jennifer’s life was turned upside down after the birth of her son. Not once but twice. And not for a few days but for months and years. Her son is healthy, in school and doing well but my heart sank when she had to ask the Nurse “should I be preparing for end-of-life arrangements for my son”. The response she received was - I wish I could assure you one way or the other but I cannot.

Jennifer will be releasing her first book in March 2023 and it will be called “Making it to Monday” which has an important dual meaning.

Jennifer, you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story, helping others with their journey and being a “bright” light.
