Lost Childhoods, Broken Dreams: The Legacy of Domestic Violence

This lecture addresses the long-term effects of growing up in a home where domestic violence occurred. The focus is on identifying the psychic wounds around trust, intimacy and self-esteem that are carried into adulthood and how patterns of unhealthy relationships are replicated. Additionally, attention is given to women who are or have been in abusive relationships so they may see that as they heal, they empower not only themselves, but also provide a model and a foundation for their children to heal.

This talk may also be adapted to specifically focus on alcoholic families or familes in chaos.

I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can: Why Women Never Feel Good Enough

We live in a culture that expects women to be everything to everyone. What gets lost in translation is that women end up not taking care of themselves emotionally, physically or spiritually. This talk explores the myths of who we think we are supposed to be and the realities of what is reasonable and possible in order to live a life that has meaning, purpose and clarity.

The Road to Empowerment

To be empowered is to believe in your ability to be who you are, who you choose to be, and who you want to be. When you feel empowered, you exude an aura of emotional and psychic strength. You exhibit an energy that is clear. You respond from your wisest self. Feeling whole inside is grounding.  When you let others control you, when you ignore your own needs, when you swallow your voice and shut down, you are giving yourself away. This is disempowering. You deserve to speak, to be heard, and to be listened to.  It is the best gift you can give to yourself. Come on a journey and spend a day learning, laughing and speaking with your own true voice.

By attending this dynamic one-day workshop, you will learn skills and tools that will teach you how you can:

• Release what is limiting you
• Listen to and develop your own strong voice
• Tune into and trust your own inner wisdom
• Envision and create the life you want to be living
