Very inspiring! The practical tips you gave to our group of nurses helped us reduce stress and improved morale almost immediately! And even better…weeks later, people are still implementing the tools!
Since the workshop, I’m doing much better – went on vacation, getting a kayak, and including making sure to prioritize completing CEUs for my licensure as part of my self-care plan as well – and I think I’ll be able to work with my client population for a longer time to come thanks to starting off with The Joy Source.
Today Julie came into my office and gave the most inspirational seminar about The Joy Source. I am hooked and going to find my new Healthy Obsession. I couldn’t thank you enough for my outlook today. I look forward to your newsletters and recommendations of some good books.
