Mental Well•Being Panel featuring local experts.

Ashley Solomon of Galia Collaborative

Mental Well•Being Presentation:

Welcoming a New Paradigm of Women’s Mental Health

We will revisit “old” beliefs about mental health and discuss updated understandings based on new research and clinical wisdom. Self care is regularly promoted, but instead of making it about the individual, we need collective, community care. We’ll explore medication as a part of a mental wellness plan instead of being a last resort. We have known that trauma and adversity change the brain, but now we know that healing does so as well. While the traditional mental model taught that ADHD, depression, autism, etc. look the same across genders, we now know that women can and often do present with rather different symptoms and experiences.

Sexual Well•Being Presentation:

Modernizing Your Sexual Health

Sexual health is presented in society to women and girls about what we "should" be doing. We have to be the mom, the boss, the housekeeper and the adoring partner. We are supposed to show up multiple times a week with passion and a desire for sex, maintain our youthfulness and most importantly be everything for everyone. We want to be everything for everyone but are on the verge of heart attacks and mental breakdowns. And the thing is, we're all experiencing something very similar, but doing it alone because we think we are the only ones or we don't know where to get help or how to see our way out. The system is broken, we have been brainwashed and now it's our time to own our womaness in truth.

Financial Well•Being Presentation:

Money Mindset

Discover the transformative power of your Money Mindset in this interactive presentation, where presence meets prosperity.

Welcome to the realm of Money Mindset. Imagine harnessing the magic within you to reshape your financial reality. Unraveling the intricate threads of this concept, we embark on a journey of understanding and empowerment. At its core, Money Mindset is the amalgamation of beliefs that shape our financial universe. Our beliefs, both conscious and concealed, for the frame through which we navigate our financial lives, influencing decisions that echo for years.

This presentation delves into stories and experiences that underscore the potency of money beliefs. From childhood memories shaping saving habits to early encounters affecting lifelong relationships with money, we peel back layers to illuminate the profound impact of our mindset. Share your journey, explore your triggers, and celebrate your growth in a nurturing space. Engage in micro journaling and candid conversations to start uncovering the roots of your relationship with money.

Together we will learn how to shift from habitual reactions to conscious choices — the gateway to financial wellness.
