The Well-Being of Self-Leadership

Your Well-Being is determined by how you feel about yourself and what you do every day. It requires the skill of Self-Leadership, the practice of “self-leading” by prioritizing yourself. Self-Leadership goes deeper than self-care because it determines the decisions you make every day that directly affect your well-being. The Well-Being of Self-Leadership is a highly interactive program that empowers you to experience simple, but not always easy practices you can start using immediately at work and every area of your life.

Fueling Your Brain: Meal Planning to Support ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression for Busy Lifestyles

The brain is one of the body’s most energy-demanding organs. If you’re not eating enough - or enough of the right foods - symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and depression can worsen. In this interactive session you’ll learn how specific nutrients support the brain and mental health, explore simple food additions, and create a 1-week meal plan for your own family to support your mental health.

Compassion Includes You: A Loving-Kindness Practice

Nurses and caregivers offer compassion to patients and families all day long, then often struggle to offer even a fraction of it to themselves. Research suggests that self-compassion, not just self-care, is one of the strongest buffers against burnout. In this restorative session, you'll learn metta (loving-kindness), a simple, evidence-informed practice that builds goodwill as a skill rather than a mood. Through gentle seated movement, a short teaching grounded in real bedside experience, small group reflection, and a guided meditation, you'll leave with a practice you can use in the middle of a hard shift and a phrase to carry with you. No meditation experience is needed. Come as you are.
