COURAGE: Like A Mother

Courage Like a Mother // based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown

In this two hour reflective workshop we will use the research of Dr. Brené Brown to define our personal values in motherhood, learn what being a courageous mother means to each of us, and explore how we build trust in our lives as mothers. We will discuss the guiding values that help us make our decisions and how to model them each day - for ourselves and for our children. Dr. Brown reminds us that the original definition of courage was "to tell the the story of who we are with our whole hearts". Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of the components of courage and trust and an action plan for implementing them in their daily lives.
