“Ending the Guilt Trip”

Program: We can feel guilty for just about everything. We feel guilty what’s out of our control, like the weather, and what’s in our control, like the choices we make to keep our life on track. We feel guilty for our good health and our ability to have fun. The guilt just piles on. The problem with all that guilt is that it details our life. During a time we fight to stay in our life, our guilt sabotages all our attempts. We live our best lives when we keep guilt in our rear view mirror. In this 45-minute webinar, Denise will help you face the guilt that detours you and steer you in a better direction.

“8 Steps to Caregiver Empowerment, Growth and Well-Being”

Program: Have you lost your sense of self since becoming a caregiver? Has caregiving taken a toll on you mentally and/or physically? Do you want more control over your life, but feel powerless to change? Have you become “stuck” and just cannot move forward? Military Veteran Caregiver, Debbie Sprague felt that way too, and over the course of many years she was able to research, learn and practice tools to take her life back through empowerment, personal growth, and learning to cherish her own needs for well-being. Debbie’s mission is to help other caregivers get to this place much quicker than she did by sharing what she learned. During the webinar you will learn these steps, and how you too can uncover your power, and gain trust in your ability to create a unique life that works for you, and your family while honoring the person that you care for.

Presented by Easter Seals and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation

Presenters: Debbie Sprague and Dole Fellow Precious Goodson
