Impact Statements 

"I think about my thinking now. I pause when things get tough and I know I can rewire my brain to do what I need to do to become who I want to be. My future self is depending on me to do the hard work" Student, Age 16 

" The classes are one every inmate should have to give them hope for changing their lives when they get out, the most impactful training I have attended." Adult-in-Custody, Reentry Program

"When Ms. Joy is here, I feel human. She is a true person who really cares, and she wants to help. She makes neuroscience fun, easy to understand and use. It has changed how I think and see the world" Adult-in-Custody, Reentry Program 

"I didn't realize that I was stuck in a cycle that I can break. I now see how trauma works and how it keeps me stuck. I want to be a better mom but I needed new tools, the ones I have are bad."  Recovering Addict in Parenting Program 

"My brain is a fast car, and I have brakes that go on a bicycle. Know what happens when you go fast with no brakes? You crash and burn. Ms. Joy doesn't want to change my super brain; she gives me better brakes." Student, Age 10 

"My brain is on fire, it goes so many places, and I can't think sometimes so I shut down. People think I dont care, I do but I just can't move. Ms. Joy showed me how to train myself to take small steps to move from being stuck" Student, Age 18 

"Joy Winchester and her Wired for Success system have completely transformed the way I approach my work with young people. Her insight into how the brain works—and how to rewire it for growth, resilience, and purpose—has not only impacted my life personally, but it’s reshaped how I mentor, lead, and teach every day. As the author of How to Eat an Elephant, I’ve built my message on practical steps toward progress, and Joy’s system has become a foundational tool in that journey. Her work is not just neuroscience—it’s life-changing."  Anthony ‘A.B.’ Brooks

"I have big anger in me, and I now know how to calm it down, so I am not hurting people." Student, Age 5 

"Joy had a tremendous impact on our team this season. This team was filled with youth and inexperience. Through her guidance and expertise, she was able to provide each player with valuable feedback and effective strategies to use to help them overcome the obstacles that coincide with balancing academics and competitive sports. Her knowledge and compassion separate her from the rest. If you want to improve your team in every aspect, allow Joy an opportunity to invest in them." P. Boyd, Head Varsity Boys Basketball Coach

"The material is informative, academically and practically researched, and Ms. Winchester is engaging and caring, and the interaction is uplifting."  Adult-in-Custody, Reentry Program

"Joy Winchester made a real difference in my classroom—not just by teaching and modeling strategies to manage my students with ODD and ADHD, but through her personal approach. She truly connected with me, listened to my frustrations in the kindergarten classroom, and gave me support that felt both practical and encouraging." L. Andrews Kindergarten Teacher 

"In my 18 years as a school counselor, Joy Winchester has had the most significant influence on my approach to working with students, parents, and teachers. Her profound understanding of brain function, coupled with her ability to effectively communicate this knowledge to both parents and teachers, has been incredibly valuable to our school. She has made a remarkable impact on our students with behavior challenges, implementing strategies that have truly transformed their experiences." K. Crumbley School Counselor
