Permission to Thrive: Self-care Strategies in Uncertain Times
This pandemic can break us and who could blame us?
And yet, what if it made us…stronger, clearer, better rested, more intentional?
What if we replace the goal of surviving with thriving? How might we leverage this chaos for our own growth? What if this collective pause is our opportunity to turn inward since being in the world is so compromised?
Join us as we engage in this exploration, first with insight from Katie McDonald, Self-care Strategist and Founder of b.nourished, and then together in a trusting space to share our experiences, triumphs, and challenges.

Self care is an absolute must for health and wellbeing. This was something I had ignored for years and years. No wonder I was run down. Catherine
The presentation was vibrant, eye-opening, and informative. I left inspired to make self care my number-one priority — realizing this is how I can best support others. For anyone who wants to reach higher levels of performance and joy by getting real about their health, I highly recommend Katie.
