Topic Descriptions

The Balance Wheel of Life
Speaker: Trish Raap
  Just like a wheel, life runs its best when well balanced. But amidst life’s constant twists and turns, how often do you truly pause to assess the various dimensions of your existence?  This enlightening session aims to help participants achieve a balanced and fulfilling life by focusing on various critical aspects that contribute to overall well-being and professional excellence.

Women in Senior Care – Cultivating Self-Actualization for Real Change
Speaker: Angie Gray
  Women play a crucial role in fostering healing and driving meaningful change. This session will focus on the unique contributions of feminine energy, emphasizing the importance of understanding our true selves and the profound connections we share with one another. By embracing self-actualization, women can build trust, enhance collaboration, and serve at the highest level, ultimately creating a positive and healing impact on the entire industry.

Cut the Crap and Get Your Life on Track
Speaker: Trish Raap
  Are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your life, both physically and mentally? Join us for an empowering journey to declutter your space, organize your mind, and set yourself on a path to success. This comprehensive session is designed to help you identify and eliminate the excess, streamline your surroundings, and establish habits that foster productivity and peace of mind.

I know I’m Supposed to Be Wonder Woman, But I Don’t Have Any Bullet-Blocking Bracelets
Speaker: Brenda Clark-Hamilton
  Remember Wonder Woman and her bracelets that could deflect any bullets aimed at her.  As women, sometimes it seems like “bullets” are coming at us from all directions: multiple responsibilities, too-high expectations, difficult people, and daily aggravations.  In this fun, uplifting session, you will learn strategies to take you from burnt out and overwhelmed, to vibrant, passionate, and-dare I say-powerful!

The Grape Escape – Wine Tasting
  For a perfect conclusion to the conference, we’ve included a fun way to unwind, socialize, and celebrate. This wine tasting event, sponsored by Martin Brothers, is more than just an indulgence for the senses; it’s a celebration of empowerment, connection, and shared experiences. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or a curious beginner, this event promises to be both educational and enjoyable, offering a unique blend of refinement and relaxation.
