Eleanor Brownn (with 2 Ns) is a public speaker and educator who addresses the importance of self care. Her message is "Self care isn't selfish. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” She’s an advocate for women sandwiched between generations at home and at work, who are often taking care of everyone but themselves.
Eleanor has been called “a teacher and a healer” by Emmy-winning TV Host and Caregiver Advocate Leeza Gibbons. Joan Ditzion, co-founder of the Boston Women’s Collective and co-author of their landmark women’s health book Our Bodies, Ourselves, has said “By advocating for health, empowerment and women in particular, she has helped make the world a better place.” And a front-page profile in the Los Angeles Times, about Eleanor and her role in starting an innovative healthy aging support group for midlife working women called Sisters Staying Healthy that gained international recognition, summed up her approach this way: The real heart of Brownn's effort [is] “Who are you and what have you done to take care of yourself lately?”
Eleanor has taken her message around the world — from a senior center in Compton, California to a women’s center in Melbourne, Australia; from a church in the heart of Paris to a cruise ship off the coast of New Zealand; from a makeshift workshop studio in Fresno to a ballroom in a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills. Comfortable before both lay and professional audiences, Eleanor has spoken before national conferences, women’s shelters, university classrooms, recovery homes, women’s clubs, after school programs, sororities, congregations, spiritual retreats and corporate events — anywhere the message of Self Care Isn’t Selfish needs to be heard.

Self Care, Defined..."Self care is any action you purposefully take to improve your physical, emotional or spiritual well being. Too often, we do not make time for sufficient self care because we’re too busy taking care of others. Life’s demands at home, in our community and at work can take our lives out of balance. Self care can be getting more rest, eating healthier food, spending more time in thoughtful reflection, being kinder to yourself, smiling more, playing, or engaging in any activity that renews you. By making time for self care, you prepare yourself to be your best so you can share your gifts with the world.” • Eleanor Brownn
