When you step into entrepreneurship, it’s easy to get caught in the comparison trap, believing that in order to be successful you have to follow in someone else’s footsteps. The truth is, your success and impact ultimately comes down to being a trailblazer—more specifically, being the REAL YOU.

Through an open and honest discussion about the OVERALL “puzzle” of wellness – we’ll chat about money and how it represents an important part of HOLISTIC well-being.

Bringing it back to basics doesn’t have to be boring. Allison Knott, MS, RDN, CSSD, will help you build a foundation of basic nutrition and explore common misconceptions.

Interactive sessions that help you to apply wellness principles and foundations to your everyday life.

“Fewer, but better quality” is an adage that has guided mindfulness and living sustainably. In this session, Piper will help us uncover small shifts that are not only better for the planet, but help us live in the present with intention, furthering our wellness and mindfulness journey. These steps not only help the planet, but unburden us in two powerful ways: 1) Fewer things to take up our attention, money, and time, and 2) The ease and satisfaction that come from living our values and knowing we’re a part of the solution to many pressing issues.
