Mindfulness is an important practice for overall heart health.

Do you have trouble losing weight or keeping it off, without knowing why? Research shows that it’s often because eating has become a way of habitually coping with stress and other emotions. Weight Balance for Life™ brings a powerful mind-body approach to how we live and eat—for a lifetime.

When we are feeling stressed, the body often can tell us before the mind. The body is the storehouse for reactivity. This course introduces attitudes of mindfulness and Desk Yoga to learn how to purposefully move your attention around the body in a kind and nonjudgmental way. Join us for Stop Reacting and Start Responding, a 60-minute program taught by an expert mindfulness teacher on Feb 9th and Feb 24th.

Saving enough money for retirement and maintaining a comfortable standard of living is a common concern. With a little planning and an appropriate mix of investments, you can develop a retirement plan to pursue your life priorities.

The focus of this program is to explore strategies and learn skills based on the principles of “mindfulness” for losing weight, maintaining weight loss, and decreasing metabolic health problems. Mindless eating or eating when we are not physically hungry to manage our emotions or avoid dealing with stress is a part of life. Depending on the frequency and amount this can lead to weight gain, health problems, and decreased quality of life. Mindfulness skills, such as learning to identify and eat according to our physical signs of hunger and fullness, can help us to learn to interrupt these unhelpful habits or patterns, develop healthier relationships with food and our bodies, and improve our quality of life.

An overview of the unique financial challenges that women may face and strategies and tips to help improve their financial well-being.

Saying no can be uncomfortable and awkward but it’s absolutely necessary to avoid burnout and help you remain focused on your most important goals. Learning how to say an effective and appropriate "no" is one of the most vital skills for leaders, yet research shows this is one of the most under-utilized tools, especially for women.

In this session led by Lisa Abramson, you'll learn a powerful "saying no" framework and get a "cheat sheet" to make saying no less stressful in the future. After this session, you'll be able to confidently deliver a firm and appropriate no without the side of guilt. Yes to that!
