Words from Our Living WELL Cohort Graduates
“The Living Well Training can be a life-changing opportunity if the participants of the program are willing to open up their hearts and minds, and allow themselves to be guided on a journey to self-acceptance and self-improvement. On the first day of the training, I arrived feeling very stressed out, worthless and exhausted. I didn’t have a lot of self-confidence, which in turn made me act shy and keep quiet. If I had to rate the mental state that I was in on the first day of the training (on a scale from 1 to 10), I give myself a rating between 1 and 2. After the training ended, I no longer felt the stress and overwhelming exhaustion that I felt every day because I was armed with tools and knowledge. I now feel relaxed, full of joy and energy! Implementing what I learned in this training helped me re-evaluate my life and look at things through a more positive perspective; a completely different mindset than I would’ve used in the past. I started practicing gratitude and it is very rewarding. I enjoy my life, my family, my job and everything around me. I highly recommend this training and I think that all women from different walks in life and occupations could benefit from this experience!”
“I learned “life altering” skills that will help me forever!! I feel “cleansed”. There is no money that could have given me this “saving grace” for my soul. Thank you!!”
“We all have things that we want to understand about ourselves. Together we can make it happen!”
“I learned new ways to love myself first.”
“I learned about myself, about how to achieve financial goals.”
“Seeing myself in a place I want to be and seeing the lesson in the challenge was very life changing for me. Thank you.”
“I have really enjoyed my time taking these trainings each week.”
“I have learned to breath in and out to release stress.”
“I improved all my wellness. I feel renewed in all aspects.”
“I learned how to let go, to not stress as much.”
“Understanding that I can manage my own circumstances and be content. Other people’s stress is something I can’t control and it can no longer control me.”
A couple years ago I took part in a one-week preparation class for a riding badge that would act as proof of my proficiency as an equestrian. Each morning for one week we had show jumping lessons - one of the three disciplines that are tested by two judges at the end of the workshop. Being an experienced rider and a young, energetic woman I was too proud to ...
In honor of Women's History Month We asked 5 WELL leaders four questions on confidence. How they used, gained and shared confidence with their community. Life's unexpected twists and turns is when our own confidence is challenged. Confidence comes in many forms and ...
The Beatles captured a universal feeling that all of us can relate to. Love. There is a strong attraction to romance, causing our hearts to soar and influence many of us to commit a life time to another person. While this type of love may feel the most powerful to some; the love between ...
Having witnessed firsthand what most women go through emotionally when ending a marriage, creating a plan to start a business/nonprofit, or sending their children to the college of their choice has put me in a unique position to identify what drives women to make financial decisions from a perspective other than my own. Many women don’t ...
