Listen, Lucy and The Acceptance Movement

Host an assembly
Jordan candidly discusses her battle with mental illness in a relatable, honest and informal way in hopes to have her audience disarm their defenses and open their minds to a conversation that needs to be had.
Jordan goes in depth about her lived experiences with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic disorder, discussing how life altering it was, and still is at times, and how hard it was to get people to understand her.

Through sharing these experiences, the audience is able to either learn about a struggle they may not understand or connect with someone about a subject that is uncomfortable to take on and difficult to explain. The goal in sharing her story is to help people understand each other and realize they are not alone. She focuses heavily on the topic of acceptance-- of others and yourself-- and how important empathy is in a world where we are really struggle to be kind to one another.

While Jordan has her presentation planned out, she also is more than willing to work with any school to customize her presentation to fit the needs of the students/faculty that will be hearing her speak. She is happy to be a voice in the mental health industry and wants to make sure she is as effective as possible. She is super easy to work with-- and she wrote this entire pitch herself so you know it isn’t bias.

Host a workshop
New to the Listen, Lucy organization, Jordan has created a workshop from her two books, “Listen, Lucy Volume I” and “Write It Out.” She has chosen stories from “Listen, Lucy Volume I” that discusses important topics that she herself, and those she has worked with, have struggled with while growing up and pairs those stories with her own lived experiences. Leaving these topics open for discussion, she continues the workshop with writing prompts from “Write It Out.” This is meant to not only help the audience process what they are talking about, but to show them how to use writing as a coping technique and how everyone has time to practice self care.

​Listen, Lucy is a place to express yourself freely, creatively and anonymously to find comfort in seeing you are not alone. Nationally recognized motivational speaker, mental health advocate and author, Jordan Corcoran (founder of Listen, Lucy) is a Mercyhurst College graduate with a story to share. During her freshman year, she was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. After going through a difficult struggle with coming to terms and learning to cope, Jordan created an outlet where people can openly and candidly share their own personal challenges and struggles.

Now Jordan’s time is spent touring around the country speaking to college, high school and middle school students about her story and the importance of acceptance - of others and of yourself. She is the author of Listen Lucy Volume 1, has been featured on (link hidden) and UpWorthy for her self-love campaigns and was a keynote speaker at NAMI and other mental health organizations. This past year, she filmed The Acceptance Movement, a docu-series that showcases her speaking to 10 schools and organizations in the US and revealing the powerful impact Listen, Lucy can have on an individual. Her mission is simple: she wants to create a less judgmental and more accepting world.
