Join us!

Join us on May 1st at the Marion Public Library for our next educational workshop, presented by Stacey Pawlak. In 2023, Stacey led an insightful conversation on The Darnedest Things People Say – Infertility Edition. We’re honored to welcome her back as she shares strategies to regain a sense of control in a journey that often feels anything but predictable.


What you’ll gain from this workshop:
Shift Your Focus – Identify what’s beyond your control and redirect your energy toward what is within your power.
Prioritize Your Well-Being – Discover practical strategies for self-care, including mindfulness, sleep, nutrition, and movement.
Set Boundaries & Find Strength – Learn how to navigate tough conversations, protect your emotional space, and build resilience.

Each attendee will receive a Kyn You Believe It Adult Coloring Book—a little reminder to be kind to your mind!
