How long has it been since you really took a minute to invest in yourself? Even just took a mid-day pause, solely for you?! Juggling work with family and friends and investing in your community is exhausting. We see you (yes, YOU!). We recognize the work, time, energy, and passion you share with your job, friends, family, and community every day. We honor all that you give to support your people and care for those around you. We know this year has been a lot for you. We also know you can't pour from an empty cup. And so, we invite you to join us for this special event designed to fill your cup with thoughtful conversations, best practices, empowering advice, and a moment to invest time and energy back into yourself!
