Jenny Puglisi is an author and human development researcher dedicated to helping people build greater resilience, self-awareness, and capacity for meaningful change. Integrating neuroscience, psychology, behavioral science, and lived experience, she translates complex science into practical frameworks applied in healthcare, education, workplaces, and everyday family life.
Across her career and personal life, Jenny noticed a recurring pattern: people often possess deep insight into their struggles, yet insight alone is rarely enough to create change. Recognizing that integration—not just information—was the missing piece, she spent years studying systems thinking and human development. This research evolved into Neurodimensional Capacity Theory and the HELIX framework, providing a structured approach to understanding how safety, agency, connection, and clarity interact to shape our choices and potential.

Jenny’s writing bridges the gap between research and real-world application, making emotional literacy accessible across generations.
The Spark Keeper Trials: A children’s fantasy and activity series born from the real-life struggles Jenny navigated with her own family. Through the protagonist Genalyn and five unforgettable Guides, the series makes complicated emotional experiences easier for children to recognize, talk about, and move through without losing sight of their strengths.
