PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST

Presenter: Faith Rogers

Why putting yourself first is so important. This workshop looks at practical ways to practise and integrate putting yourself first every day. This workshop is designed to help you embrace the power of prioritizing yourself. This isn’t about selfishness, it’s about strength, balance, and becoming the best version of yourself so you can help and support those around you. Self-care often takes a backseat because women are so focused on supporting others. But prioritizing it isn’t just about relaxation; it’s about refueling so you can show up fully for yourself and those around you.
