My biggest take away was the importance of being balanced when it comes to self care. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially I was reminded how important it is to have balance. I shared with the presenter but this was one of THE most engaging all day virtual trainings that I have attended and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
