Fear is a normal part of our lives, rooted in keeping us safe. Unfortunately, sometimes it is a form of oppression keeping us stuck, small, complacent, and blocks us from living a thriving life. Participants will walk away with tangible tools to move through fear and self-doubt so that they can take empowered action towards their thriving vision.

It can be difficult for people to allow themselves rest and a break from productivity, especially without feeling shame or guilt. It’s not until we understand why rest is so hard for us that we can actually integrate it into our daily lives with joy and compassion. Participants will receive tools to shift their beliefs about rest & productivity so they can integrate self-care and joy in their daily lives.
