]]> episodic yes RCMA michael@imagocreative.com false full Permission to Be Imperfect: An Honest Conversation About Wellness Permission to Be Imperfect: An Honest Conversation About Wellness RCMA SPECIAL PODCAST: Webinar Audio from Dr. Stuart Katz


DESCRIPTION:

If you have ever sat in a gathering carrying something you did not feel free to name, exhaustion, doubt, grief, or just the quiet weight of holding it together for everyone else, this conversation is for you. (And yes, pretending to nod thoughtfully while mentally drafting your grocery list also counts.)

This is the conversation we keep almost having. The one that lives in the parking lot after the meeting, in the late-night text to a friend, in the silence between "How are you?" and the polite answer we always give.

Together we will laugh more than you might expect for a wellness webinar. We will sit in a few quiet moments. We will talk honestly about presence, listening, humor, and the radical freedom of being good enough. Not as concepts, but as things you can take home with you on a Tuesday.

No performance. No pressure to have it figured out. Bring your coffee, or your other caffeine mechanism of choice, and whatever version of yourself showed up today. Come as you are. 

Special Thanks to our sponsor Visit Virginia Beach
