STRETCHED TOO THIN? Whether they work outside the home or not, parents have so many responsibilities and obligations, it is easy to feel stretched too thin. Moreover, parents living in an action-packed, fast-paced, over-the-top competitive city, such as New York, are likely to feel tired and stressed. Even though they lovingly care for their children and get things done at work and at home, they have very little time and energy for themselves. They strive for more healthy balance in their lives but often find it is very difficult to do. This interactive workshop is designed to help parents figure out what small steps can take to make a big impact in finding the right balance in their lives. Recognizing that there is neither a magic bullet nor a one-size-fits-all solution, the workshop includes hands-on exercises that enable parents to find the right solutions for their unique circumstances. TBD This event is free and open to the public For more information about the workshop, email info@lifejunctions.com.
SPREAD THE LOVE WITHOUT FEELING SPREAD TOO THIN Second-time moms face the challenge of ever-shrinking time for themselves. You now have not one but two children to care for, plus trying to maintain an intimate relationship with their spouse/partner. You also have to oversee and set the tone for healthy sibling relationships between their children, not to mention other work/career/volunteer work demands. Most importantly, after having one child, you probably already have had to cut back the time you spend on your friendships; now with two, you are likely to be cutting back even more. Come, dine with other like-minded moms, and learn hands-on strategies on how to reallocate your time and energy that are right for you and your growing family. Date, Time and Location: TBD
