Elaine Proulx was so committed to making an impact in her first career that she neglected herself and burned out within five years. When her dad got sick in 2021, she realized health is built over decades of small decisions, and she plans to choose wisely. By recommitting to her physical, mental, and spiritual health, she reconnected to her purpose and found joy in service and generosity again. Now, she helps other purpose-driven women find harmony between their desire to make a difference in the world and the need to nourish their own body, mind, and spirit without guilt so they can thrive now and for decades to come. She received her health coach certification from Duke Integrative Health and will complete a master’s degree in Integrative Health in 2024. Connect with Elaine on Instagram @‌ESPwellness.

In Episode 7 of The Wisdumb Podcast, your host Cierra, speaks with her longtime friends Rashad, Dejah, Isaac and Nicolle about what it's really like to make, maintain, and release friends in our late 20's! Adulting can be HARD sometimes, especially because there is no handbook on how to make it through all of life's challenges, but with friends, it can be a little sweeter.

Lauren is a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Virginia who recently completed her credit hours to provide supervision for up and coming counselors in her state. She has been practicing in a variety of settings since 2017 to include public schools, acute inpatient hospitals, and outpatient. Lauren has always been passionate about the performing arts to include, singing, theater, and Irish dance. She is passionate about implementing these experiences to include expressive arts, metaphor, and storytelling in all settings as a form of healing. In April of 2023, Lauren experienced a major heartbreak from a man she loved dearly. While she had to begin her spiritual/healing journey and the re-discovering of herself after the event, Lauren had some professional as well as personal revelations which has motivated her to tell this story in order to help others. She discovered a concept that was first coined in the 1980s by Dr. Dan Kiley called Peter Pan and Wendy’s Syndrome. While these aren’t official terms and diagnoses in the DSM-V, Lauren couldn’t help but find that these pop culture psychology terms are very relevant in today’s society. Lauren hopes to use her story to help and educate others about the damages caused by emotionally unavailable, immature people as well as ways to move past the “Wendy’s Syndrome” which includes anxious attachment, people pleasing, and codependent tendencies. As a recovering anxiously attached people pleaser herself, Lauren hopes her story helps others see their worth and ways to avoid being caught in a Peter Pan and Wendy Syndrome dynamic in their relationships. 

Hi, I’m Jazlyn! I am a 26-year old stay-at-home mother to two beautiful little girls, Anais & Aleyah. I am also a wife to my amazing high school sweetheart. Some fun facts about us and our little family: My husband and known each other since 2013, have been together since 2014, had our first daughter in 2019, got married at the end of 2020, and introduced our second daughter close to the end of 2021. 

Professionally, I am a Travel Advisor and the owner of Luxe Dreams Travel. I love to get to know each and every one of my clients in a more personal level, and I work closely with each of them to be able to bring clarity and expertise to the planning process. By doing this, I am able to free them to have a wildly successful and altogether amazing experience out of their vacations from start to finish.

I am also the Founder of Latinx Business Babes which is a Latinx networking group. Latinx Business Babes was created in 2022 by Taira, Tanya, and I in order to connect and enhance the Latinx community through each other’s support, businesses, cultures, and education all around Central Florida. We host networking meetups monthly with a smaller and more personal experience so that we can truly get to know one another in both a business and personal level. By doing this, we notice that more Latinx business owners are gaining new friendships and collaborating with each other on events and/or projects.
