I Love You. I Hate You. – Meg Jenkins

Finding Joy, Boundaries, and Hope in the Relationships That Shape UsWhat happens when love and pain exist in the same relationship?For many of us, the words “I love you. I hate you.” are never spoken aloud, yet they echo quietly in our hearts—in our relationships with a parent, a spouse, a child, a friend, and sometimes even ourselves.In this deeply personal and inspiring keynote, Meg Jenkins Locke shares her journey of loving family members living with mental illness, navigating marriage, caregiving, and ultimately surviving two life-changing strokes that forced her to confront the cost of carrying everyone else’s burdens while neglecting her own well-being.With warmth, humor, vulnerability, and practical wisdom, Meg invites audiences to explore how our identities are often shaped by the roles we assume—the daughter, the solutionist, the survivor—and how healing begins when we choose presence over perfection and boundaries over burnout.Meg Jenkins is the founder of Living InJoy®, an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and creator of The Architecture of Identity™, a transformational framework that helps individuals and organizations move from chronic stress and burnout to intentional leadership, authentic relationships, and sustainable performance.megjenkins@themegjenkins.comhttps://www.themegjenkins.com/
