Jenée Johnson invites us to hold our attention on five affirmations to be more compassionate to ourselves, embracing our unique human experience.

Women are particularly vulnerable to the experience of burnout because of higher rates of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and gender-based social discrimination, and for some groups, racial trauma. All of this underscores the importance of (re)learning to feel freedom and joy in our bodies. One example: Jenée Johnson facilitates the Femme! dance program, created by author and entrepreneur Bernadette Pleasant. The class is designed for women to reclaim their feminine power in the way they walk through the world. Participants start with gentle grounding and awakening exercises, followed by an “emotional tour” through a range of human feelings—joy, rage, sensuality—and end with time for reflection and meditation. Choreographed and free dance movements are set to drumming that matches the pulse of the human heartbeat, grounding women in the ancient wisdom of their bodies. If the Femme! class is not offered in your community, seek out other body-positive dance classes that incorporate drumming or free dance.
