Life, Loss, Letting Go

Life is always a series of changes and transitions. Any time we experience change we also experience loss. Some of those losses are relatively easy to move through while others shake our foundation and disrupt our comfort zones. We are often told we need to “let go” but what does that really look like and feel like? Join Anne Parker, M.A., for a realistic view of loss, change, and transition and the grief processes we experience. Learn what we need to do to support ourselves through these experiences as well as what to focus on to thrive while dealing with tough times.

Living a True Life in Balance

Balance is something so many of us strive to create. But what does it truly mean and how do we live our lives in it?

This presentation offers a unique glimpse of what balance can actually look and feel like as we deal with our daily demands and definitions of family life, work life, personal values, and self-care. Anne Parker, M.A., will challenge some misconceptions and unrealistic expectations about what balance is. Join her in this special exploration of how to create a life in balance that is both achievable and practical.
