WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH JENNIE WILLOUGHBY WHO WRITES AND SPEAKS ON MINDFULNESS AND THE RESILIENCE OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. Jennie’s platform gained widespread attention in 2018 when her description of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband, former Trump White House Staff Secretary, Rob Porter,  launched a national scandal and he was removed from the White House. More recently, she has been opening the conversation around earned redemption and life after #metoo and cancel culture. From the unique perspective of compassion and forgiveness, Jennie encourages and supports people in fostering a new dialogue to use with ourselves and others to foster empathy and connection. With degrees in Bio-Chemistry and Brain-Based teaching, Jennie uses her 13 years working in the classroom and her knowledge of neuroscience as the backbone of her work offering support in dealing with experiences of anxiety, anger, stress, and trauma. Jennie writes at www.thepullofgrace.com and is published in the Washington Post and Time magazine. Jennie has been featured on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, NBC's The Today Show, MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, Fox's Media Buzz with Howard Kurtz, WNYC’s United States of Anxiety, and NPR’s The Takeaway. Jennie also performs regularly as a vocalist on stage with The Inspired Word NYC. Follow her on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram.
