Janine Turner Speaking Topics

Women's Health Issues.

Actress, author and radio show host Janine Turner has given numerous speeches on a variety of health issues that affect women, including breast cancer and substance abuse. A former ballet dancer and apprentice to the Fort Worth Ballet, Janine's success in the modeling and acting fields came hand in hand with tremendous pressures to be extremely thin. She has also struggled with alcoholism. Drawing on her own experiences -- including her practice of Christian yoga, or "Christoga" -- Janine moves, motivates and inspires audiences with her personal stories and heartfelt strategies for achieving physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.

Alcoholism is Ancient.

Millions of Americans struggle with drug and alcohol dependency. At a time when a faltering economy, high unemployment and national security threats heighten the stress and anxiety felt by many Americans, substance abuse issues can become more prevalent, causing individuals to spiral out of control, destroying lives and families through a never-ending cycle of dysfunction, denial and violence. Yet substance abuse is by no means a modern problem. Passages from the Bible recount the destructive influence alcohol can have on a person's ability to maintain healthy, loving relationships. As a recovering alcoholic with two decades of sobriety, Janine Turner discusses her own battle with alcoholism while sharing a powerful and inspiring message of hope and faith that substance abuse can be successfully conquered.

Keeping the Faith in Troubled Times.

As an actress, author and political commentator, Janine Turner would seem to have it all. Yet like all Americans, Janine has struggled with both inner demons and external forces throughout her life. From the highly competitive world of professional modeling to life in the Hollywood fast lane to single motherhood, Janine has relied upon her strong Christian faith to strengthen her resolve in troubled times. Janine has shared her message of hope and faith with numerous churches and faith-based organizations, and in this presentation she shares stories from her own life as well as the spiritual lessons that have comforted and sustained her.

Finding the Joy in Single Parenthood.

Actress and author Janine Turner is best known for her roles on "Northern Exposure," "Friday Night Lights" and in movies like "Steel Magnolias" and "Cliffhanger." But Janine's most challenging -- and rewarding -- role is undoubtedly being a single parent to her daughter, Juliette. Drawing on her Washington Post best-selling book, "Holding Her Head High: 12 Single Mothers Who Championed Their Children and Changed History," and her own personal experiences, Janine recounts the struggles of juggling her multiple careers as an actress, teacher, author and radio host while running a working ranch and raising her daughter. It's a struggle with which millions of single parents can relate, and with humor and enthusiasm Janine shares her secrets for finding the joy of single parenting amid the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Ten Steps to Triumph.

As a top model and celebrated TV and film actress ("Northern Exposure," "Friday Night Lights," "Steel Magnolias"), Janine Turner has amassed an impressive list of screen credits while expanding her career as an author ("Holding Her Head High"), radio host and founder of the non-profit foundation, Constituting America. A Wilhelmina model at 15 and a Hollywood actress at 17, Janine began her career at an early age. But success didn't come easily. Along the way, Janine faced numerous obstacles, including the cut-throat competition and repeated rejections for which Hollywood is renowned. In fact, Janine recalls being down to her last $8 when she won the lead role in the acclaimed television series "Northern Exposure." She even once calculated that on her way up the Hollywood career ladder, she received 10,000 "No's" before achieving success. In this motivational presentation, Janine draws on her own experiences to outline the "10 Steps to Triumph" and how each of us can define our destiny, turn tribulations into triumphs and persevere with praise.
