What Jenna speaks about

A request can focus on one area or connect ideas across both.

BRAIN HUG SYSTEMS

  • Continuity after interruption
  • Reducing the cost of stopping and restarting
  • Designing around actual human capacity
  • Accessibility as infrastructure
  • Why conventional productivity systems can fail people
  • “You generate. The system catches.”

MENTAL HEALTH

Lived experience from inside the systems.

  • Lived experience with mental health
  • Psychiatric hospitalization and mental-health systems
  • Stigma and the language surrounding mental illness
  • What systems feel like from the person inside them
  • Capacity, recovery, and everyday functioning
  • Humor and humanity in difficult experiences
