Narconon Attends Modern Day Wife's What She Said Dallas Event

Narconon attends Modern Day Wife's What She Said Dallas event, highlighting wellness and the vital role women play in seeking addiction treatment.

On September 18, 2026, Narconon International spokesperson Jessica Paek; Narconon graduate and driving force behind establishing the upcoming Narconon Texas, Christina Woodruff; and two Narconon Arrowhead program graduates and current staff members, Bret Aicher and Jeremy Shelton, were in Dallas, Texas, to attend the event What She Said Dallas, produced and organized by Modern Day Wife.

Modern Day Wife is a lifestyle and events company for women that produces curated events, media, and experiences focused on helping women connect, grow, and thrive. The Modern Day Wife programming spans wellness, family, business, entrepreneurship, fashion, beauty, relationships, and lifestyle.

The event brought together influencers, content creators, entrepreneurs, business leaders, television personalities, wellness professionals, and other guests for panels, networking, brand activations, an influencer lounge, and a fashion show. A total of 1000+ attendees were reported, with more than 30 speakers. Among those speakers was Jessica Paek.

For Narconon, this event provided an opportunity to speak and highlight the vital role women play in addressing addiction treatment across modern society. According to Narconon International statistics, more than 70% of people contacting Narconon for assistance to get someone to treatment are women. Wives, mothers, and grandmothers are the driving force behind helping their loved ones access the treatment they need. Their role, dedication, and importance must be recognized and supported if addiction is to be truly addressed in society.

“Women are often the first and last line of defense when it comes to advocating for their loved ones. They’re the ones finding solutions, making calls, and initiating tough conversations with the people in their lives who are struggling.”

“Women are often the first and last line of defense when it comes to advocating for their loved ones. They’re the ones finding solutions, making calls, and initiating tough conversations with the people in their lives who are struggling. Connecting with empowered and successful women in this space is a valuable partnership for us, and allows us to amplify our message that help is available.” - Jessica Paek, spokesperson for Narconon International.

Jessica, Christina, Bret, and Jeremy participated in Narconon's “Influencing for Good” initiative by connecting with influencers to recognize and support the vital role women play in helping their loved ones seek treatment. The team was on hand to provide an opportunity for people to meet Narconon staff and graduates, ask questions, and learn more about its drug-free approach to substance use treatment and rehabilitation.

Jessica also spoke at the beauty and wellness panel about her own story of high-functioning addiction, having started multiple successful companies, and the stigma of seeking treatment. Despite the barriers, Jessica did just that, and has since gone on, sober and living a life to help others.

The Narconon Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation program is open to those who desire to end their addiction and lead productive, drug-free lives. Narconon operates a worldwide network of dozens of residential rehabilitation facilities on six continents, with Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma as the international training center in addition to its role as a residential rehabilitation facility.
