Building resilience is critical to the calm, peace and balance needed to navigate challenges and stay motivated to push forward. Developing resilience takes time, patience, and consistent effort. I look forward to sharing specific strategies toward achieving, and maintaining, a resilient spirit and state of mind. Presenter: Sharon M.
