This in-person workshop is designed for professionals and busy parents navigating chronic stress and burnout who are ready to move from survival mode back into clarity and control.

Participants gain practical, evidence-based tools to restore focus, regulate stress, quiet the inner critic, and reconnect with their innate strengths. Rather than offering temporary motivation, the experience centers on rebuilding self-agency: empowering individuals to manage their nervous system, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and make intentional decisions even in high-pressure environments.

The result is not just improved productivity, but greater resilience, engagement, and long-term well-being. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Identify personal signs of stress and burnout and understand how chronic pressure impacts focus, decision-making, and overall well-being.
2. Apply practical, evidence-based strategies to regulate stress, restore energy, and strengthen mental clarity in high-demand environments.
3. Develop a personalized action plan to rebuild self-agency, leverage individual strengths, and create sustainable habits that support resilience and long-term performance.

Financial advisors charge fees that can cut into your retirement savings. Before you hire one, understand how those fees work and how they affect your long-term returns. It’s smart to meet with a financial advisor but come prepared. Know the basics so you can ask better questions. This one-hour seminar breaks down how you can invest for retirement, how compounding interest grows your savings, and how fees reduce your gains.

You’ll get a plain-language overview of stocks, bonds, and common investment products like ETFs, mutual funds, insurance policies, and annuities. We’ll also go over tax-advantaged accounts including 401(k)s, IRAs, and others, plus what to know about Social Security. Along the way, we’ll help you think through key questions: What do financial advisors actually do? What kind of investor are you? Should you manage your own investments or work with a pro?
