Series 1: Transformation Starts with You
For airline safety, we are told to put on our own oxygen mask before we help a child. Women must take care of themselves first so that they can be the best they can be for the world. This is a significant issue. 80% of women in the U.S. do not practice self care. This alone leads to illness, disease and dysfunctional families and organizations. Therefore, the first series will be on women taking care of themselves. Then we will discuss how to take care of others as we move into more societal issues such as Fear, Minimalism and Housing in the Bay Area just as some thought starters.
