PERMISSION TO BREATHE: Leading with Boundaries, Balance and Grace

Running a community, a business or a household is no small responsibility and too often, leaders forget to care for the person behind the title.

Permission to Breathe is a refreshing and restorative session designed to remind you that your well-being matters too.
