Jenny Lawson Speaking Topics
-
Mental Health - Being happy out of pure spite
Chances are you either are dealing with mental illness, will deal with mental illness or will love someone who deals with mental illness. I've struggled with a plethora of disorders, including treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, inattentive ADHD, OCD and several others I can't think of off the top of my head because inattentive ADHD exists. But I have perfected the art of being FURIOUSLY HAPPY...of celebrating every day that I survive and helping others to know that they are not alone. My journey has saved lives, including my own.

Inspiring leadership
4 years ago I opened a progressive independent bookshop in conservative Texas right before a pandemic. It should not have survived but it is currently one of the best and most successful indie bookshops in San Antonio and it's success comes down to these principles:
- Finding your passion
- Let your team find their strengths and get out of their way
- Do something unique that no one else does
- Create a community
- Use your power to empower others
- Always be learning
- Don't be afraid to pivot
- Learn how to deal with haters
- Find what scares you and do that
- Look to the right places for mentorship and inspiration
