9:10 - 10:30 How Your Biggest Crisis Reveals Your Greatest Gift |Dr. Debi Silber

A life crisis can be a divorce, death of a loved one, disease or devastation of some kind like abuse, betrayal, financial crisis and more. It's something that shakes you up and creates a 'psychological earthquake' where your world is compartmentalized into before and after 'it' happened.

How can that crisis be the opportunity to reveal your greatest gift? During this workshop, you will learn the following:

• how to identify if an unhealed crisis is impacting your business, health, and relationships
• how to use a life crisis as a launchpad for transformation
• the 4 questions to ask to see if you're subconsciously sabotaging yourself
• the 'benefits' to staying stuck instead of healing from a life crisis
• how to create a strong, confident healthy version of yourself

10:30 - 10:45 Break

10:45 - 12:00 pm The Three Graces: Purpose + Joy | Talia Rosenblum

Purpose and joy go hand in hand. When you feel connected to your purpose, whatever that might be, you innately feel more joy and happiness every day.   

The Three Graces in ancient mythology were the goddesses of Brightness, Joyfulness, and Bloom. In the present day, we seem to be missing these in our lives, where we are always doing, working constantly, and often not living in the present.   

Most people associate their purpose with their work, whether a job in the corporate world or as a stay-at-home mom. While these are a part of who we are, they are not our life's purpose in and of themselves.   

We will dive into how to feel joy and how that can give a purpose well beyond a job title. Is our purpose actually joy?  This workshop is centered around sharing shifts to help you find more purpose and joy in your life, in and out of the office.   

• The fundamentals of finding your purpose.
• The energetics and mindset of bringing more joy to your every day.
• How to tap into your purpose in various situations to guide you through decision-making.

Debbie Eberly

Debbie Eberly is a certified Jazzercise instructor and has been teaching Jazzercise for the past 26 years. She is also an ACE-certified Personal Trainer. Her passion is to motivate people to move.

Dancing is a fun way to get fit. If you can get your mind off of the fact that you are “exercising” and just have some fun, you will be more likely to stick with a movement program. Feeling better, looking more fit, having more energy, and losing weight are just some of the side benefits you’ll experience when you work with Debbie.
