Are you your own worst enemy?
A mindfulness self compassion workshop, by Kathryn Lovewell of Kind Mind Academy
I bet you're really kind to others, aren't you? I bet you'd drop anything for a friend who was in need, right? As women, we are often significantly kinder to others than we are to ourselves. That's why on International Women's Day, Kathryn Lovewell, author of The Little Book of Self-Compassion and Mindful Self-Compassion teacher will give an interactive, practical workshop, helping us learn to be kinder to ourselves.
A Self Care Challenge by Caroline Odoguw - winner of Sutton Means Business Award
In the process of smashing our goals and ticking off our to-do list we may sometimes neglect to take care of our mind and body. We can't be as effective as we should be if we neglect self-care - that's why in this session we will be exploring how to put ourselves first, through our SELF-CARE CHALLENGE. Why not join us?
