Your Invincible Voice: the inner antidote to depression

Inside of every woman is a free spirit untouched by the demands of the world, blissfully unaware of the judgments of peers, unscathed by the fears of her parents.  She’s an independent thinker and a non-conformist. She’s uninhibited and she knows her own mind.  Her voice rings in the air clear as a bell.  She is the core of the strong, joyous woman you are meant to be.  (more…)

Perfect on Your Own — starts February 24

Moving through divorce or the loss of any significant relationship has at least as much to do with emotions as with logistics. It’s natural for one’s sense of self to become tied to roles and relationships. With the disruption of divorce, many women experience an immobilizing crisis that centers around their sense of self and their confidence in their own perceptions.

Perfect on Your Own groups are designed to help you:

  • Understand and work through the emotional nuts and bolts of divorce
  • Learn strategies to help you and your kids regain your balance
  • Provides a powerful support network of other women who really understand the emotional storm of anger and loss — as well as the practical hurdles – that accompany divorce

We’ll use the Reclaiming Your Self ebook as our guide. Included in the cost of the group, the ebook utilizes a beautiful page-turning format with a built-in journal to provide your with information and support as you work through the emotional issues of divorce and free yourself to move forward in your life.

Groups will meet for five 75-minute sessions.  Cost: $150
The next session begins on Wednesday, February 24, meeting from 7-8:15.

Please call 677-9800 if you’d like more information.

feelings need a soft place to land

Our daughters learn very early whether it’s safe to expose their feelings to us.  Not just their sadness, fears and worries — but also their triumphs, because sharing one’s proud moments is actually the greater …

No Lost Voices is so much a part of my heart that I was completely unprepared for the question.

There was some skepticism, maybe a fear that I’d show up and deliver …
