The Women’s Health Naturally Expo & Workshops 2026 is an empowering, educational gathering dedicated to helping women support their health through natural, holistic approaches. With the 2026 theme Balancing Hormones Naturally, the event features expert-led workshops, practical tools, and integrative strategies focused on nutrition, movement, stress regulation, sleep, and lifestyle rhythms.

Yellow Light Moments will be part of this experience, offering a grounded, accessible framework that teaches women how intentional pauses can support hormone balance and overall vitality. Through the principles of Yield, Listen, and Move, attendees will learn how slowing down, tuning in, and taking aligned action can reduce overwhelm, support the nervous system, and create sustainable habits that work with the body rather than against it.

48th Annual Illinois Head Start Association Conference
"Head Start – The Power of Us"
Connecting Hearts. Creating Change. Cultivating Futures.

Conference Venue: Embassy Suites by Hilton East Peoria – Hotel & Riverfront Conference Center, 100 Conference Center Drive, East Peoria, IL 61611

At the 2026 Illinois Head Start Association Conference, Jennie Phillips will present an uplifting and interactive session designed to help educators, family advocates, and leaders live and lead with intention rather than autopilot.

Head Start professionals pour into children, families, and communities every day. That impact is only sustainable when the people doing the work feel grounded, supported, and energized themselves.

In this session, Jennie introduces her Yellow Light Moments® Framework — Yield. Listen. Move. — a practical decision-making and vitality-building system that helps individuals pause with purpose, recognize early signs of overload, and take aligned action before burnout takes hold.

Participants will:

• Identify at least three personal “yellow light” signals and create one actionable pause strategy to implement within the next week
• Apply the Yield–Listen–Move framework to a real-world scenario and outline one meaningful change to their daily routine or workflow
• Practice two evidence-based vitality tools (movement, breathwork, or mindset strategies) and commit to using them consistently in the week ahead

Blending fitness science, behavior change principles, and mindful leadership strategies, Jennie equips attendees with simple tools they can use in seconds — tools that restore balance, protect well-being, and strengthen resilience.

Participants will leave refreshed, empowered, and ready to cultivate sustainable impact — in themselves, their teams, and the children and families they serve.

I am truly honored and deeply excited to be hosted by Beyond the Book for a Fireside Chat and Book Signing on March 8th from 3–5 PM at 18063 Dixie Hwy, Homewood, IL. It means so much to gather on a day dedicated to celebrating women’s strength, leadership, and impact.

International Women’s Day feels like the perfect time to come together, reflect, and talk about what it truly means to live with vitality and intention. During our conversation, I’ll be sharing insights from my book, Yellow Light Moments, and how the power of pausing can transform your health, energy, and everyday life.

My work is centered on helping high-functioning individuals cultivate vitality through intentional living, and I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to connect, share, and celebrate with this community.

I hope you’ll join us for an afternoon of meaningful conversation and inspiration.

In this session, the author will leave the caregivers with 3 main takeaways:

• Yield – Recognize Your Yellow Lights

• Learn how to spot the subtle signals of stress and overwhelm before they escalate, giving yourself permission to pause without apology.

• Listen – Reconnect with Your Body, Mind, and Values

• Discover simple practices to tune into your needs, clarify priorities, and restore your capacity to care for others while honoring yourself.

• Move – Take Small, Aligned Steps

• Walk away with practical, doable actions—rooted in the 4 pillars of vitality (sleep, nutrition, self-care, and movement)—that create sustainable rhythms of care and renewal.
