This conversation will take the participant on a journey of empathic feeling, self-discovery, and inspired action. The participant will journey from overwhelm and potentially helplessness into discovering their existing superpowers that can be used immediately to affect change.

Solutions exist within each of us, they just need to be discovered. ![]()
