So, we stretch in every direction trying to satisfy and take care of everyone but ourselves. What if there was a simple way to bring more balance into our lives that didn’t require over extending ourselves, our resources, and helped us be more present in our lives.

Staying connected to colleagues keeps things on track and is one of the most important elements to an organization’s success.

Everything changes when we become parents, I think the show “Survivor” shouldn’t take place on an island but a new parents’ home. It’s challenging not losing yourself in the process but with a few techniques like being more playful and using your intuition, life can be more joyful and relaxing.

Discover the different ways that men and women deal with stress, techniques of dealing with sibling fighting and how to truly take care of yourself so you are able to be more present to the life you are living now.

This lecture blends techniques of improvisation, visualization and affirmations. Parenting is a great lesson in letting go. You give birth, you let go. You nurse, you stop, you let go. They start school you, let go. They move out, you let go. That lesson of “Letting Go” is way easier with you in tacked.
