Aug. 20: The Happiness Myth: Rethinking What Makes Us Thrive

We’ve been told that success leads to happiness—but what if we’ve had it backward? In this thought-provoking session, we’ll challenge outdated ideas about happiness and explore what it really means to thrive in today’s world. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and new tools to define happiness on your terms.

Aug. 27: Tapping Into Optimism During Difficult Times

When things feel heavy or uncertain, optimism can feel out of reach. But it’s not about pretending things are okay—it’s about learning how to hold hope and hardship at the same time. This session explores the science of optimistic thinking and offers practical tools for staying grounded, future-focused, and emotionally resilient.

Back to school means back to structure — but your routine should support your well-being, not just your to-do list. This session will help you refresh your daily habits with intention. Learn how to add ease, joy, and focus to your days as we move into fall.
