----Wellness Wednesdays---- will feature a health professionals, enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and/or gurus from around the world. I will speak with them about their work and personal wellness habits.In this episode, I interviewed Philadelphia-based Jaynay Johnson. From suffering from teen depression to being written off by her family and teachers as being just another troubled teen, Jaynay C. Johnson has always been a firm believer that at any given moment you have the power to say, “this is not how the story is going to end.” Jaynay chose to take control of her story! Choosing to dedicate her life to uplifting and empowering the leaders of tomorrow, Jaynay’s body of work includes a published book, magazine features, radio interviews, and multiple guest appearances. Today, she tours and speaks to teens and families across the country, using her humor and “down to earth” style to take the edge off many of the tougher conversations she must have with her audiences. Jaynay has worked at local nonprofits, residential treatment homes and schools dedicated to offering a range of behavioral health/social services to those in the Greater Philadelphia region. It is here that Jaynay who received both her Bachelors and Masters from Delaware State University and La Salle University respectively, is able to once again tap into people’s deepest emotions and experiences in order help them reach the breakthrough moment that she also once experienced as a teen.
