Karyn De Mol is a Multi Award-winning Author, Freedom from Secret Eating Coach and Empowerment Expert releasing Women's Secret Fears stopping them from financial and physical success even if they are feeling overworked or burnout.Our values then need to be supported with positive beliefs to ensure we don't start to feel overworked or burnt out. Everybody has a past, and we may need to realize how it affects our behaviors and future. As a child, things are said or done that may be traumatic that we have to overcome as adults. For example, being told as a young child that you are 'Stupid' may be something you believe to be accurate as an adult that is limiting your success. Women connect emotions to an event because of our larger limbic system; we remember moments of the past when events have emotions attached to those events. Mindset shifts are required to change the perception of past traumatic events and see them with adult attitudes and wisdom, thereby limiting the impact of the memory. These mindset shifts must incorporate a woman's limbic system to ensure long-term changes.

Most people admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others. Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way. However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us. We make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad. And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves?? Mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment. First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge. Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are.

Treisha Wan, M.A. CCC-SLP is a speech language pathologist and owner of a local private practice called Illuminate Family Workshop. Relationship building is at the heart of her work. She designs her therapy sessions to be fun and engaging as well as foster creativity and curiosity. With a growth mindset perspective woven into the fabric of the sessions, she empowers children (and their families) with the tools to communicate confidently and authentically. She enjoys coaching families and teachers on evidence-based practice in speech and language development. Her dedication to a collaborative approach stems from a background in serving on Special Education teams in preschool-8 public schools in Seattle, Long Island and Phoenix.
Age isn’t what it used to be! In past generations, people became grandparents by the age of 50. Today, it isn’t unusual to see someone in their 40s or 50s become a first-time parent. Improved nutrition, lifestyle, and healthcare are allowing people to live younger for longer, and it’s high time that we adjust our assumptions about age to reflect these changes. Psychologist Dr. Frieda Birnbaum is living proof that age is no longer a limitation after having twins at 60! She’ll explain why society’s view of age is changing and how women have especially benefited from this cultural shift.

The American Psychological Association reports that over 57% of people surveyed want to lose weight, and 50% say they want to live a healthier lifestyle. Despite that, they feel they don't have the willpower to do it, with only 1 in 5 achieving those goals. The good news is that more people can live healthier lifestyles if they have the right ideas to help them get there.
It’s more than just willpower that is needed to help people live a healthier lifestyle,” says Dr. TJ Tsay, the medical director at Ageless MD. People need to know what to do to obtain their goals. People have more willpower than they think if they have a clear plan of what needs to be done.
Dr. Tsay has not only helped many people obtain their healthy lifestyle goals, but he also stands out to those who see him. While he's in his 50s, he looks like he's in his 30s. He has made having a healthy lifestyle a top priority and is happy to share with others the tips that can help them do the same.

The concept of what is the “best” school has shifted a lot in recent years, we certainly feel it should be! The conversation is not about who has the highest test scores, the most homework, or the rate of matriculation to the most well known universities. In our experience in education and with mental health, parents, caregivers and professionals need to look inward to their own child and find the environment that is the best fit for their individual needs, learning style and goals. Furthermore, the choice you make for your child in elementary school may not be the best place for them to thrive in middle or high school. We will explore family options based on each individual child and offer tips on how to advocate for their needs.
