Boundaries, Balance, & Body Confidence—Big Talk with Jenna Dewan

This episode of Dear Gabby Big Talk will move your body and soul! I sat down with actress, dancer, author and Spirit Junkie Jenna Dewan. We cover so much—from setting boundaries to helpful parenting tips. And we discuss our empowering practices for gaining body confidence. I wanted to get up and dance after this Big Talk!

There’s no doubt why Jenna topped my list of people I’d LOVE to have come on the show and riff about her spiritual practices. During the loneliest days of the pandemic, connecting with Jenna through our DMs became a real support system for me.

There’s no small talk on this episode of BIG TALK. Find out why learning how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable was a huge lesson for Jenna this past year.

Plus you’ll hear about:

• How to speak to your children to avoid codependent relationships

• The importance of not making your feelings your children’s problem

• The struggles of finding balance as a working parent

• How dance kept Jenna embodied and healed her trauma

• Ways to gain confidence in your body through movement and sexuality

• Methods to physically process and move shame through you

• Why it’s essential to help our daughters feel confident in their bodies

• The secret to shame-free parenting
