Did you know that up to 60% of common, chronic health conditions have stress as an underlying cause? The leading causes of stress are related to workload along with juggling work and personal responsibilities. Each of us has the opportunity to create solutions that address key issues facing our world, but when you're on the front lines, how do you give yourself “permission” for self-care?
Even if you’re constantly on the go, working long hours, or are extremely busy it is possible to make healthy lifestyle changes when you have the right tools and support. Learn proven, mindful stress reduction techniques so you can achieve greater social impact while improving your own well-being. Recognize the link between wellness and sustainability, and receive guidance from Coach Colette to help ditch your stress and anxiety for lasting results.
This is ideal for: entrepreneurs, business owners, and creative/tech freelancers looking to reduce stress, increase motivation, and experience less burnout in their quest to drive change; purpose-driven professionals looking to experience greater intention and fulfillment in their work and life
