How can districts reverse chronic absenteeism and gain a deeper understanding of why students don't come to school? Can we measure how “connected” students are to their schools? How do we impact the level of connection they feel with potential mentors in their lives? I invited Jen Perry to episode 172 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to discuss this topic and explore ways schools can assess student engagement and put meaningful programs in place to increase it. Jen Perry is Senior Manager of Learning Design and Whole Learner at Edmentum. Jen has worked over 30+ years with youth in educational and community settings. As a teacher, administrator, and trainer, her passion has been to help educators develop an understanding of the importance of social emotional learning and build trauma-informed responses and systems. This work has included supporting youth, administrators, and schools in understanding behavior and implementing transformational change through strength-based approaches.In this conversation, we discussed:✅Using positive youth development models to support youth involved with the legal system.✅Changing our assumptions about kids who have “risk factors” and resources. ✅Helping youth build developmental assets through community navigation and academic support.✅Research on the effectiveness of high-impact tutoring in increasing attendance and student engagement.✅How do we help kids connect academic work to meaningful life goals? ✅Giving students the language they need for self-advocacy and self-awareness.In this episode, we mentioned the following resources:“The Poverty Problem: How Education Can Promote Resilience and Counter Poverty's Impact on Brain Development and Functioning” by Horacio Sanchez Link here: https://www.amazon.com/Poverty-Problem-Resilience-Development-Functioning/dp/1071842927Maguillie, L, Perry, J., Aiello, J.

Is the topic interesting to you? Is this a one-way conversation? What messages do you tell yourself if you're feeling bored, or you're too tired to make the conversation work? We each give specific examples of how this shows up for us, and we talk about learning to be secure in your own attachment, and feeling comfortable wherever you are because YOU are there.

Managing Criticism and Disappointment It's not uncommon for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) to have big reactions and big feelings sometimes—especially when it comes to feeling misunderstood, feeling criticized, and feeling disappointed.

Showing up Messy When you have high standards for yourself, it can be very difficult to show up imperfectly, and it's easy to go into self-blame. Unfortunately, this usually comes at a cost. Jen and I talk about how to make the shift from focusing on external expectations (and fear of judgment), to focusing internally on what you want and what you are able to give. We talk about the gifts of self-compassion, vulnerability, deep connection, and focusing on the relationship instead of unrealistic high standards.

Getting Grounded and Orienting to Yourself Many Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) learn to focus on everyone else's needs. The focus is external instead of internal. You don't learn how to focus on your perspective, your body, or your needs. This can be an orientation injury. The Highly Sensitive Person can see multiple perspectives, and based on your attachment patterns, this can make it harder (or easier) to focus on the needs, emotions and happiness of others. We explore how to get grounded in your sovereignty. GUEST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC GUEST BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years.

In this episode of Inside Jobs, we hear from Jen Perry, former Senior Director of Creative at Constant Contact. Jen broke into advertising at age 12 and signed with a well-known ad agency as an undergrad. Then, after years supporting a broad range of external clients, she joined the ranks of those who took their talents in house. Jen's doubts about committing to a single brand have since given way to broader business acumen and stronger ties with marketing. Today, the team at Constant Contact provides creative expertise on everything from emails to revamping a major tech brand that helps small businesses thrive.——This podcast is supported by the In-House Agency Forum and hosted by Robert Berkeley from EKCS.

To kick off this summer of reflection series, Edmentum's SEL Learning Designer Jen Perry joins us to rethink what "reflection" means. From cooking, to kayaking, to listening to podcasts, David and Jen explore ways to find new meaning in summer activities.
Yelling is a typical human response when we feel frustrated or anxious, but every adult knows it's not the best strategy when it comes to children. Jen Perry, Edmentum's learning designer for social-emotional learning, chats with us on why yelling doesn't work, and offers some better strategies to deal with behavior management at home. In our first-ever special minisode series, we're covering topics to help families, parents, and other stakeholders with navigating the twists and turns of home learning.
Many families recognize that it's not always easy to get your child to concentrate on what they are learning, or to teach them something in a way that really sticks. Turns out the key may have to do with developing executive functioning skills. Jen Perry, Edmentum's learning designer for social-emotional learning, explains how executive functioning skills play in learning, and how to help your student sharpen and develop their skills to improve memory and impulse control. In our first-ever special minisode series, we're covering topics to help families, parents, and other stakeholders with navigating the twists and turns of at home learning.
We are IN THE ROOM with two of our favorite cast members from Kinky Boots: Jen Perry & Blair Goldberg! You know Jen Perry as Trish from Kinky Boots - but did you know she is an OG cast member??? She was also in Mamma Mia on Broadway and we are unhealthily obsessed with her. Blair has the unique perspective of being both in the National tour of Kinky Boots and in the Broadway company. She has been on Broadway since she was little - her first show was starring in Annie Get Your Gun with our queen Bernadette Peters. Also fully obsessed. Jen & Blair share the backstage juice with us: they cover tricks to being cool moms on Broadway, filthy hardcore rapping, backstage naked dance parties, mice, the final performance, cut moments from the show, and how to give your nearest and dearest an enema in their time of need! Also… ghosts. It gets a little spooky, ya’ll. As we head into cooler weather, we will be getting cozy with some of our favorite cast mates from various shows. We are calling this mini-series “GETTIN’ COZY WITH CASTMATES,” natch. So put on your sweaters, pour yourself a hot chai, and join us for some little mini-reunions and ghost stories! @funnijen @blairgoldberg44 @intheroompod @danakellycraig @sferezy @broadwaypodcastnetwork We would be gob smacked into next week if you gave us a rating and review on iTunes! We so appreciate your lurve, shout outs, and support! XOXO IN THE ROOM is a proud member of the Broadway Podcast Network. www.bpn.fm Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Spirit of 608: Fashion, Entrepreneurship, Sustainability + Tech
On today's show, we're bringing back a conversation that's so good for right now with a guest who's not only inspiring, but entertaining to the extreme. Her infectious spirit could easily be something that bubbled up in the aftermath of a frightening medical emergency that landed her in the hospital close to death. But there's just something about her approach to life and business that makes me suspect she had it all along. Either way, you only have to listen to this female entrepreneur for a few minutes to get that she's a true original, just like the unique belts she devised using recycled materials and a patented design made to hold pants up without creating any extra bulge under slim-fitting shirts. In the interview, you'll hear her explain how - with no apparel or accessories industry experience whatsoever - she came to be running a belt company from Bozeman, MT. Along with that, she shares takeaways and advice from her experience patenting her design and working to create a product using recycled textiles. Hear more on this week's guest, Jen Perry, Founder of Jelt. Ask Spirit of 608 a question
TITLE Being Real and Normalizing Our Human Experience GUEST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC EPISODE OVERVIEW What if we believed that we don’t always have to have our stuff together? The more real we can be, the more it allows others to be real. We need to normalize suffering, so we don’t think something is wrong when we are not constantly feeling exuberant. We can accept that wounding happens. Misunderstandings and miscommunications are part of the human experience. How do we embrace our feelings and not be wrong? HIGHLIGHTS I want to break the shame and normalize having deep feelings I want to change the narrative around what may be labeled as unacceptable feelings We as therapists, often have shame that we have human experiences because we’re supposed to be “past” that Human life is a struggle If we’re wobbling, we freak out The more real we can be as therapists and healers, the more it benefits our clients We want to be mindful and intentional about self-disclosure in that it benefits the clients, and it’s not to meet our own needs We can do reality checks with clients if we self-disclose to see if it’s helpful How do we embrace our feelings and not be wrong? We need to accept that wounding happens We need to normalize suffering We want to ameliorate the suffering and know that wounding happens Sometimes we can over identify with the wound or live from the wound Misunderstanding and miscommunications are part of the human experience Good enough parenting—we just need to show up 30% of the time The Goddess of Never Not Broken She knows that she recreates herself every day She doesn’t have this expectation that she has it all together We don’t want to live our lives as nouns—in a constant state We want to live our lives as verbs, which is constantly changing We will bound back between the 2 states and accept the wounding PARTS Work or Internal Family Systems with Richard Schwartz We have a relationship with that part of you A part can despair We want to be self-led—which is soul, substance, clear and calm, compassionate When we get triggered or activated, a part takes over A part of the person is buying into that narrative of wounding How do you feel about the part? I feel bad for this part We can act from that part Being in it We can speak for that part A part of me feels…a part of me wants to … Healing comes from being in relationship with others who are doing their work There is power in being seen and heard and having someone who can hold space for us We often don’t know what’s possible if we haven’t experienced healthy relationships, so we recreate relationships that don’t work because we’re trying to work out something from the past GUEST BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years. She specializes in helping Highly Sensitive People thrive in love, work, and parenting Highly Sensitive Children.

TITLE Ten Ways We Can Thrive As A Highly Sensitive Person, aka HSP Special 1 Year Podcast Anniversary Episode GUEST Solo Episode EPISODE OVERVIEW On the One Year Anniversary of this podcast launching, I talk about 10 different ways that I have grown, and how this relates to being a Highly Sensitive Person, aka HSP. I talk about perfectionism, being of service, naming things, asking for help & support, feeling the fear and being brave and courageous, authenticity, connecting, accepting challenges and living a fuller life. A special thank you to each and every listener! HIGHLIGHTS Embracing imperfection Being of service Naming things Showing up when it’s hard in a way that honors our needs Asking for help and support Feeling fear and being brave and courageous anyways Expressing ourselves authentically and vulnerably Connecting Accepting challenges Living a fuller life What I’ve learned in this past year podcasting When we have a message to share, it is more important to get it out there, then to wait until it’s perfect The world may never hear our message Done is better than perfect Naming things is one of the most powerful things we can do We let ourselves know that what’s going on is important It creates room for change It allows for acceptance Often just showing up is enough—even when we don’t feel like it If we’ve experienced Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) or have parents who are Emotionally Immature, it may be harder to know that we’re supposed to need help Interdependence is healthy It’s ok to resist asking for help, and we can do it anyway We might be surprised by how much help we receive Feel the fear and do it anyway; this creates courage and being brave It can be scary allowing ourselves to be seen We may receive criticism or unsolicited feedback, but we may also get all kinds of amazing support We just need to show up and be ourselves; the people who are supposed to be in our lives will be attracted to us It’s normal to compare ourselves with others.

It can be about the process and not the outcome More self-acceptance More ease in relationships because the standards are more realistic Learning how to set goals that are achievable More contentment More satisfaction Actually accomplishing more due to acceptance Communication, vulnerability, authenticity Things we struggle with Afraid to say what you’re thinking Not trusting what you’re thinking Fear of judgment, criticism, being ridiculed Feeling like your point of view is wrong or not popular Afraid to really show up in relationships and allow yourself to be fully seen Being afraid to upset someone Being afraid to stir up problems in the relationship Not trusting that ruptures are repairable, and this actually points at growth We grow in relationships after a rupture Ruptures are a natural part of attachment--it doesn’t mean that there isn’t attachment Outcomes Educate others about the trait Why we need the lights low, Less stimulation Quiet areas Model healthy communication, authenticity, vulnerabilty More depth, closeness and trust in relationships Marshall Rosenberg’s non-violent communication All behavior is an attempt to get a need met Feelings and needs are never in conflict Strategies to get them met can be in conflict, and that requires creative problem-solving Life is figure out-able Creating a lifestyle that is HSP friendly and honors our HSP needs Things we struggle with Overwhelm Fatigue Resentment Feeling drained Overworking Living in a non-HSP world and trying to live like a non-HSP Outcomes Proper Care and Feeding of HSPs Getting enough rest, down time, quiet time Exercise Spirituality Just enough socializing Feeling a deeper sense of connection More meaning in your life Social justice work HSP style ~ having activist mentors Connecting with nature Learning how to do non-HSP events in manageable chunks Mindfulness Things we struggle with Overwhelmed and scattered Urge to numb out (TV, social media, Netflix) Outcomes Basic meditation instruction Formal and informal practices, moving meditation, guided meditation Learning how to curiously observe what comes up and to use it as information instead of reacting to things Self-acceptance More self-compassion and compassion for others Being more emotionally responsive vs emotionally reactive (Pause button) Meeting life on its terms instead of arm wrestling with it Demystifying emotions Things we struggle with My emotions overwhelm me I can’t control my emotions I’m emotionally reactive I’m embarrassed by my emotions Affect-phobia I don’t want to feel my emotions, they won’t go away My feelings will hurt me / others Outcomes Basic education about emotion theory Emotions can’t hurt us Emotions are to be honored and felt Emotions are impermanent Emotions are not something we can control Creating safety to feel our emotions Emotions can inform our actions/behavior but do not need to drive our behavior Mindfulness Feelings come and go - just energy moving through us Deep sense of connection when we get comfortable having our feelings BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years.

Jen Perry, founder and designer of Jelt Belt talks about: The inspiration behind Jelt’s patent-pending sustainable belt design How Jelt’s belts saves plastic from the ocean and creates job opportunities for women offenders Why Jelt’s mission to give back drives the business forward The challenges involved in setting up a sustainable fashion brand that gives back Why it’s never too late to follow your dreams
Josh sits down with Jelt Belt founder Jen Perry. Jelt Belt makes stylish belts that you can where with anything, anywhere, anytime. Jelt was originally started out of necessity when Jill-of-all-trades, Jen Perry needed a belt she could where between outdoor activities, her entrepreneurial endeavors, and being a mother. After being seriously hospitalized due to a ruptured appendix, Jen vowed that she would find a way to give back to her community after recovering. It wasn't long after that she began her philanthropic career path which would eventually lead her on a new path, creating Jelt Belt. Fast forward a decade and Jen is going STRONG with Jelt Belt with no signs of slowing down.

From Jeltbelt.com: "If not now, when?" After surviving a near-death experience and months in the hospital, Jen Perry knew she wanted to do more with her life. In 2014, she founded Jelt as a social enterprise, with the purpose of creating a product that everyone would need, while promoting and encouraging social change. Functional and socially impactful, Jelt elastic belts are made from recycled plastic bottles and are manufactured in a way that empowers women. Jelt belts are produced by women sewers living on rural Montana ranches and are also manufactured at the Women’s Prison in Billings, Montana, via the Montana Correctional Enterprise Program. This privileged program breaks the cycle of incarceration by interviewing, training and paying the women, giving them the skills and confidence needed to live a more productive life when released. Since its inception, Jelt has become a Certified B Corporation, is active in 1% For The Planet, and has donated thousands of dollars to charities all over the world. Jelt truly uses business as a force for good. jeltbelt.com Instagram:@jeltbelt Twitter: @jeltbelt Facebook: @jeltbelt Athletic Brewing Company is a pioneer in craft non-alcoholic beer.
