Shame disables confidence no matter where it appears and festers in your life. My story of shame revolves around a permanent hand injury/disability that I sustained from working ferociously at the computer in the tech industry 20 years ago. My hand disability is something you cannot visually see and it was very easy for me to "hide." This shame led to adverse effects in my life. It doesn't matter whether you are ashamed of a disability or your sexuality, your appearance, past actions or behaviors, social status, family members etc. The truth is, shame disables confidence and I wish I had gotten to this sooner in life, because ever since dealing with my shame - life has been even more incredible! In this talk I will share my personal experience with shame to hopefully allow you to uncover what elements of shame in your own life could be holding you back from the success you want and deserve.

When you are confident and you know what you want, it is easier to set and maintain boundaries with others. A lack of establishing boundaries leads to people-pleasing behavior, over-giving, time-wasting, an inauthentic life, and suffering. This talk is about assessing the areas of your life where you need to speak up and draw boundaries in order to maintain peace and happiness - and success!

Elle Russ is a world-renowned thyroid expert. Over 200 million people worldwide and over 25 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, but 60% are undiagnosed and unaware of their condition. Undiagnosed or mistreated hypothyroidism can put people at risk for serious conditions, such as: depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, gynecological issues (infertility/miscarriages/fibroids/PCOS etc.), hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, anemia, and other diseases. In this presentation, Elle dispels outdated thyroid treatment protocols still practiced by uninformed doctors and explains the entire thyroid system and how it all works.
