SET BOUNDARIES, FIND PEACE: RECLAIMING YOURSELF AFTER BREAST CANCER

Adversity is one of the greatest growth opportunities you can receive. Journeying through adversity teaches you how to move beyond survival and into thriving. Thriving means feeling empowered, supported, and inspired to cultivate an outstanding quality of life during and after breast cancer.

Healthy boundaries protect your well-being and honor your self-worth, creating the space you need to allow in true love, create honest connection, and live an extraordinarily fulfilled life. They teach people how to treat you and affirm what you need to surrender. Without healthy boundaries, you are unable to truly live a life imagined after breast cancer.

This interactive workshop is based on the New York Times Bestseller Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself and the companion guide by Nedra Glover Tawwab, The Set Boundaries Workbook: Practical Exercises for Understanding Your Needs and Setting Healthy Limits. It’s a powerful roadmap for establishing expectations and personal limits so young women re-writing their own personal stories after breast cancer can live life with safety, respect, and the self-actualization that they deserve.

*We highly recommend purchasing the book and workbook to optimize your workshop experience.

This important interactive workshop will be facilitated by National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Jennifer Balzano.

The workshop will be broken down into two sections. The first will involve understanding the importance of boundaries and the second will focus on how to actually set boundaries.

Each participant should complete the VIA Character Strengths Survey prior to the start of the workshop.
