**AVAILABLE ONLINE OR IN PERSON** Here is the thing….we all have our own “stuff” that we carry around. It affects our relationships and daily interactions with the world.

Feeling overwhelmed seems to be the norm for our culture these days, but it doesn’t have to be true for YOU any longer.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed with things in your life? Have you been feeling like your coping skills aren't working any longer?
