Being under constant stress seems normalized in our society, but that doesn't mean our bodies are equipped to handle it. In this session, we will share information about what stress is, how it impacts your body short term and long term, and practical tips for stress management. Your body does not make mistakes.

How To Forge Healthy, Flexible Boundaries

Can you identify with the struggle of setting healthy boundaries? Healthy boundaries are safe, flexible, and connected! Finding the balance between loose v. rigid boundaries is a lot easier said than done.

For many, the desire to be liked by others is so strong that we derive self worth and value from pleasing others.
This pattern of people-pleasing appears in the form of giving too much or too little to others, not knowing or asserting our limits, getting involved too quickly, trusting too easily, intruding on others’ boundaries, staying in toxic relationships, heightened stress & pressure to appease others, intense emotions (especially guilt & shame), great difficulty saying “No,” Even at the expense of our own needs & mental health.

How To Be A Better LGBTQAI+ Ally

Perhaps 2020 is the year of the “Wakeup call” where we are realizing that it’s time for us to step up and challenge ourselves to understand the people around us more deeply and to just simply be better humans. This year, in June, 2020, I wanted to highlight a few key factors in what I think is necessary to be a better LGBTQAI+ ally.

One thing I think a lot of us are realizing is that there is a lot that we don’t know and there is a lot that we weren’t taught. We learned history, but only one side of it. This has resulted in many of us taking extra time to catch up on the history that we didn’t learn. That being said, it’s time to start holding ourselves accountable to being informed.We have endless information at our fingertips, now we need to use it.

Learn more from Jackie Marschall on how to be a better LGBTQIA+ Ally.

In order to shatter systematic racism, we must be strong enough to punch.
