“Okay, I'm gonna go home get out of my work clothes, change into gym clothes, hit the gym, run to the store, come home, cook dinner, and straighten up some before bed and answer that email." Instead, you find yourself in comfy clothes sitting on the couch. Does this sound familiar? Imagine having the time and energy to do the things you want to do. With the use of mindfulness techniques and learning to prioritize your wellness, you can be the brave - confident individual you dream of being.

Imagine looking into the mirror attached to the visor in your car and thinking “this is gonna be great, I got this.” Your first time out with a group of friends in several months. Your cheeks hurt later in the evening from laughing and smiling. As you say goodbye and walk to your car at the end of the night you feel this warm feeling come over you. Our journey through self-exploration and self-discovery can help increase confidence and self-worth improving your relationships with friends/family.

Feeling stuck or hopeless? Lost and confused? Being a woman involves so many roles, so of which just don't jive together for us. Trying to remain a strong, independent woman, while also re-entering the dating world or maintaining a home for your family can leave you running on empty. Learn to balance the roles and create realistic expectations for yourself with the use of cognitive-behavioral skills and radical acceptance. Quiet the critic within that tells you too often, "I can't do this!"
