Stressed Life to Best Life
Facilitated by Heather Coate, LPC, EAW Counselor
Wednesday, April 22, 12 noon – 1pm AND Wednesday, April 29, 12 noon – 1 pm
This is a two-part series; participants are encouraged to attend both sessions, although it is not necessary. In part 1 (Stressed Life) we will examine stress in-depth exploring intensity, manifestations in everyday life including the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn stress personalities, and the brain’s inherent negativity bias. In Part 2 (Best Life) we identify tools and techniques that aid us in cultivating resilience to stress, including practicing happiness, self-regulation, and creating more meaningful connections.
Part 1: Wednesday, April 22

Couples and Finance$
Led by Shawnee McDowell, EAW Counselor
Tuesday, April 28, 12 – 1 pm
Money is so much a part of our daily lives, yet many of us don’t feel comfortable talking about it. Although we might have crossed our fingers and wished that the abundant love we felt and still feel for our partner would lead to financial harmony without any discussion, it hasn’t! This workshop will focus on how to identify the meaning we place on money, and how to have the conversations we might dread having, but this can improve how we communicate with and understand ourselves and our partners.
