How do you cope when everything feels overwhelming?

Join us for this gentle and honest Virtual MyTime were we talk about the days when emotions run high, energy runs low, and nothing seems to go to plan. With guest speaker and fellow parent Pam Rogers, we’ll discuss what helps on hard days, how to ride the waves, find small steadiness, and reimagine self-care as something simple, sustaining, and made for real life.

We’ll explore

Practical ways to manage stress and emotional overload
What emotional resilience looks like and how to build it over time
Self-care that’s doable when time and energy are low
How shared experiences and connection can make a real difference
