### **Guided Personal Development Book Club & Open Group Coaching** This free, ongoing book club features ideas and discussion inspired by various Personal Development Books. Reading the books are optional. Led by local Certified Professional Life Coach, Lisa Concepcion, This group provides a safe space for connection and open conversation about topics such as. * Codependency or over-giving / people pleasing * Anxious attachment * Low self-worth or self-trust * Difficulty setting boundaries * Attracting emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners * Manifesting your ideal relationship * Reinvention after break-ups / divorce * Navigating Tricky Relationships (what to say and how to say it). This is **not therapy**—it’s a guided personal development conversation led by a Certified Professional Life Coach. ### How This Book Club Works Each meeting includes: * A brief overview of a key concept from the book * Open discussion and reflection * Group coaching offering clarity, insights and guidance * Real-life application to relationships, boundaries, and self-growth ***You do not need to attend every session and you do not need to finish the book to participate. Each session stands alone.*** ### Open Group Coaching Format This book club functions like a fun, dynamic, empowering, **group coaching space**: * You’re welcome to ask questions * Share experiences * Learn from others * Gain clarity about your own emotional patterns * Get insights and ideas to move you forward Many people find that hearing others’ experiences creates powerful insight and validation. ### Who This Is For * Adults interested in emotional healing and personal growth * People who grew up feeling unseen, unheard, or emotionally unsupported * Anyone working through relationship patterns or self-worth issues * Those curious about why they repeat the same emotional dynamics * People who want to meet like minded, high conscious people who self reflect and are working to be better. * People who crave connection In Real Life and value intelligent, meaningful, deeper conversation. * People who are open to making new friends. This group is respectful, confidential, and growth-focused. What happens in book club, stays in book club. This is the group membership oath. Free Event!

**Trades Together** is not your typical networking event. This is a curated, construction-focused mastermind designed specifically for owners and decision-makers in the trades and the businesses that support them. Each meeting is structured, intentional, and centered on real conversations about growth, leadership, systems, and scaling—not awkward pitches or passing business cards. Join us for a dynamic discussion with other driven owners who understand the challenges of running a trades business and are committed to helping each other win. Expect meaningful connections, practical insights you can apply immediately, and a room full of people who actually show up to contribute. Guests are welcome to attend and experience what makes Trades Together different.

Our weekly respite from the world where we can dive deep into Harmony and enjoy good company and great A Cappella music! Rehearsals are open to all singers, of all skill levels. We focus on vocal health, value personal growth and keeping a growth mindset in all we strive to do every week! Join us as we start our 63rd year as a chorus here in Austin, come for a visit, get a vocal placement, or if you're ready we will welcome you to the risers to harmonize. More info about us at www.acappellatexas.org. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Singing remains an activity where airborne illnesses are easily spread because singers breathe in and out so much! Please skip rehearsal as a member or guest if you think you may have anything that can be transmitted to others.

Let's hike Wells Branch Trail and walk for 1.5 hours for a total of 4.3 miles. This greenbelt trail is a well-maintained, mostly flat gravel path -- no hiking boots required, but do use your best judgment. Along the way, we’ll pass through several underground tunnels and cross a couple of streets without dedicated pedestrian lights, so we’ll pause to regroup and cross safely together. The trail is mostly shaded and passes through several parks, some with path lighting. Please bring at least 2 liters of water and a flashlight. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the trail! Here is some more info located below: https://wellsbranchmud.com/parks-a-recreation/trails-1 http://www.texashiking.com/Locations/ShowLocation.aspx?LocationID=1812 If you need to contact me, my phone number is 281-876-7746. Please note this event is also posted on [Hiking, Walking and Socializing](https://www.meetup.com/hiking-walking-and-socializing/). We’ll meet at the Lake of Wells Branch sign on Mallard Green Ln -- there’s plenty of street parking available at that spot. If your GPS routes you to Mills Pond park entrance instead, there’s a small parking lot there with limited spaces. It’s just a short walk from the Lake of Wells Branch meeting point, so feel free to park there if that’s more convenient. NOTE: In the event of bad weather, I will issue a cancellation notice at least one hour prior to the event's start time. Please note meetup has had a massive increase in price and has nearly doubled the fee to organize clubs. If you like the club and want to donate, you can pay Kevin by Venmo [here](https://venmo.com/u/Kevin-Coe-9). Finally, we recommend that you review information on the trail and that you come prepared for the hike (e.g., bring at least two liters of water, wear appropriate footwear such as hiking boots, and a brimmed hat.) All attendees are solely responsible for their own health and safety. By RSVPing for this event, you are agreeing that you are taking sole responsibility for your own health and safety and, if any, your guests' health and safety. If you or your guests are not willing or are unable to take responsibility for your own health and safety, do not RSVP for this event.
