Change is a part of life, but it can still be hard—whether it’s something we hoped for or something that caught us off guard. In this workshop, we’ll explore practical, easy-to-use tools for managing the stress that can come with transitions.

We all mess up sometimes. Maybe you said something you regret, let someone down, or hurt someone you care about. It happens. But knowing how to take responsibility and try to make things right—that’s where real growth happens. This workshop is about how to do that. We’ll talk about what a real apology sounds like (and what it doesn’t), how to take ownership without getting stuck in guilt or defensiveness, and how to start rebuilding trust when it’s been shaken.

All of us know that feeling … the end of a long, stressful day and we find ourselves "doom scrolling" on our phones or “binge watching” a streaming series.

This workshop will explore the role dopamine addiction plays in our lives and will offer some ideas about alternatives to manage stress.
