JEN

Winthrop, MA

Coach, mentor, entrepreneur, daughter, sister, aunt, significant other, dancer. I am caring, courageous and passionate. I worry about not being good enough to financially support my goals like owning a home, supporting a family, traveling and making a positive impact on the world. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 14. For most of my childhood I felt not good enough. I struggle to maintain a positive mindset that anything is possible. Having had cancer, I didn't trust life for the longest time. As a child with cancer I didn't feel like I fit in. I felt "abnormal" or "diseased". While others were settling more into their bodies post-puberty, the drugs I had to take for treatment caused me to gain weight and lose hair. It was a tough time. My biggest emotional insecurity is that I will lose the love of those closest to me, especially my significant other. Physically, I'm most insecure about my stomach, it’s never been "flat" and it is a place where I've stored a lot of insecurity, repressed emotions and shame. I love my green eyes. My greatest gift is being able to express my passion for life through dance. The best day of my life was performing with the Mascote Salsa Dancing Company for a huge crowd at Lincoln Center in NYC. I wish there was more openness to others' perspectives in the world and less automatic reaction and shutting down to experiences. I wish women did more relaxing and supporting and less striving to over-succeed, competing and worrying about their physical bodies. I think judgement tends to be more passive and unspoken amongst females, it keeps us from spending time with others who we perceive to be "better than us" or "ahead of us" in life. My female tribe consists of loving supporters who remind me who I truly am and what I'm capable of. I am Jen and I feel most alive when I'm dancing.
