If you’re constantly giving to others, powering through, or putting yourself last, it’s easy to feel burnt out, stretched thin, or like the weight of responsibility is never-ending. This session is a chance to pause, breathe, and refocus on you—because your well-being matters too.

You’ll learn how to:
➢Be intentional about your mental, emotional, and physical health
➢Take risks and make changes without burning out
➢Care for yourself first while honoring the choices you’ve made
➢Show up fully for yourself and for those you love
➢Build simple, sustainable practices that support long-term resilience
This isn’t about judgment or “self-care as a checklist.” It’s about practical, real-world strategies for people who are used to fighting for others but need support themselves.

Who Should Attend:
➢the fighters
➢the caregivers (parents too of course!)
➢Professionals or volunteers who give much of their energy to others or a cause
➢Anyone who wants practical strategies to prioritize themselves without guilt

What to Expect:
➢The presenter will share her personal journey navigating career, caregiving, and burnout
➢Guided prompts and exercises for reflection and self-awareness
➢Tools, strategies, and resources to create a long-term plan for prioritizing yourself
➢A supportive, non-judgmental environment that honors the hard choices you’ve made

Why You Can’t Miss It:
You don’t have to wait until you’re completely drained to take care of yourself. This session is for the fighters, the caregivers, and the over-committed—anyone ready to start nurturing themselves while continuing to show up for life.

Disclaimer: This session is educational and supportive in nature. It is not therapy, counseling, or medical advice. Participants should seek professional help if needed.

Caregivers Who Give: Stop Sacrificing Yourself to Survive

Online event

Do you still think about that completely unhinged story from 2010 that nobody would believe if you told it today?

Did your ex girlfriend/boyfriend do something so wild it still makes you wonder why you ever stayed?

Or maybe… you’ve been waiting for the perfect audience to finally tell a story you completely made up.

Welcome to Messy Monday’s.

A live interactive storytelling game where 5 brave souls share their messiest friendship, relationship, workplace, or family drama.

🎸🔥Stories can be told in a conversational way, song, rap, role-play, PowerPoint/Prezi . . . however the presenter sees fit.

Some stories are 100% real.
Some are completely fabricated.

After every story, the audience debates, questions, and votes:
🟢 Mighty Messy
🔴 You Made That Mess Up

At the end of the night, we crown:
🏆 The Messiest Story
🕵🏼The Master Manipulator

It’s safe.
It’s PG-13.
It’s dramatic.
It’s chaotic.
It’s judgment-free.

The messier the better.
The more complex the better.
We’ve got time.

📸Come ready to tell a story on camera…
Or come ready to figure out who’s lying.
