Here's the thing: 90% of women don't just dislike their bodies. They hate them. And whether we want to admit it or not, we're passing that straight to our kids. Jennifer Joy Jimenez gets it because she lived it. From professional dancer with severe body dysmorphia to transformational health coach, she discovered something most therapists won't tell you: five minutes of freeform dance is more effective than antidepressants. And when our kids are hunched over screens like they're using fentanyl, stuck in their heads and disconnected from their bodies, this isn't just about fitness. It's about survival. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to use movement as medicine for yourself and your anxious kids, and why the daily dose of dance might be the intervention your family desperately needs.
