Too often, we have so much on our minds that we feel overwhelmed. As a result, we can’t think clearly, our productivity is reduced significantly, both at work and at home, and we can’t seem to make rational decisions. Overwhelming feelings lead us to reflect on the past, which we can’t change, and a future, which is always unknown.

Lin and Jamie will take you through their individual journeys, exploring the challenges they have faced in both life and work. Guiding you through the elements of self-care they have found to be most effective, you can either watch and listen, or participate in Q+A opportunities - the choice is yours! If nothing else, you may hear one thing that could make a difference...

Mother to four children and Step-Mother to three, life is far from quiet, and has been this way for some time now.
