"Your story and message really touched me. Educating people [on] how to help or how to treat those that are struggling is a huge step to taking talking about mental health out of the shadows and into the light so people can get the help they need. Thank you for coming and sharing your powerful and amazing message!"

"Jessi was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. Her program was incredibly open and honest which I appreciated as she shared her own vulnerabilities. Jessi is an incredibly professional, personable, and knowledgeable individual whose positive and genuine energy are sure to energize a room."

"Jessi Beyer shines a light on mental health awareness. The best part is her use of audience participation to uncover the concept of “Why You Need A Why.” I would recommend Jessi Beyer because she provides a real, raw, and personal perspective about how to escape the trap of poor mental health."
Abdillahi DirieMissouri State University Student Body President
"I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of the Five Buckets and how important prioritizing your Five Buckets is in your everyday life, especially to achieve your goals. I will be implementing the concept of the Five Buckets into my daily life and I believe that focusing on those Five Buckets will help me maneuver roadblocks when they appear. Overall, what I gathered from the presentation is that finding your “why” is extremely important and then pursuing that “why” is the great quest of life."

With The Best of Intentions: How to Safely and Successfully Support Someone Who’s Struggling with Mental Health

Keynote | Workshop

When someone you care about is struggling with their mental health, it’s understandable that the first thing you want to do is jump in and support them. But, even with the best of intentions, some of the most common responses can drive a wedge between you and your loved one. 

Worse yet, these actions might cause you to no longer be a trusted support system for them.

Jessi knows this firsthand. When she was in high school, she struggled with her mental health. She was depressed, self-harming, and in a codependent relationship with someone else who was also struggling. The relationship ended with his suicide attempt. In retrospect, Jessi knows she did just about everything incorrectly in supporting this person. And she doesn’t want you to make the same mistakes.

In this moving program, Jessi will share her personal experience as well as expert interviews and published research about the best (and worst) ways of safely and successfully helping those who need it the most.

Audience members will…

  • Examine the ways in which we incorrectly attempt to support someone who struggles with mental health

  • Explore key strategies to successfully support others

  • Consider foundational ways to keep yourself safe while supporting loved ones

How to Design a Life You Don’t Hate: Passion, Purpose, and Authenticity

Keynote | Workshop

That’s the goal, isn’t it? To live a life where you’re actually looking forward to the next day? A life where Mondays never suck, and our energy level is always on full? 

We’ve all looked at our to-do lists, evaluated where we are in life, and ended up with a whole lot of hopelessness and despair. And we fall back into patterns of dread. We’ve all been there. 

Jessi says enough is enough!

In this hands-on, highly interactive program, Jessi walks you through a proven three-step process designed to help you actualize a life you don’t hate. It is designed to help you dive deeply into yourself, do some serious self-reflection, and emerge with a simple, effective blueprint for creating a life you love. 

Audience members will…

  • Develop clear goals through self-reflection 

  • Explore core motivations and the “why” behind goals 

  • Design a strategy to stay focused in a world of setbacks and distractions 

  • Develop a blueprint for creating a life you love

"Jessi was exactly what we needed. She spoke with passion and an honest intelligence. She tied mental health concepts to real life stories that opened up our eyes to new ways of approaching mental health.

I know I can speak on the behalf of everyone on my team when I say your presentation is something they have learned from and will take with them on their future endeavors as well.
