    Coming Home To Yourself

    The Power of Self-Awareness to Transform Your Life

    This 4-part series invites you to slow down, turn inward, and listen deeply. You will journey inward gently peeling back the layers of busyness, expectation, and self-criticism to rediscover the quiet strength and wisdom that have always been yours. Through reflection, discussion, and simple practices, you’ll meet yourself with kindness, deepen your awareness, and embrace the beauty of being exactly who you are.

    Sept. 5th, 1:30 ET

    Part 1 – Opening the Door  – Panel Erica Hooper, Charlene Johnson, Mary Rockwood Lane
    We’ll begin with a heartfelt panel of Nurses who will gently frame the journey of self-awareness and self-compassion. Together, they’ll share personal stories, insights, and practical wisdom to help you see where you are, honor what you’ve carried, and open the door to meeting yourself with greater understanding and kindness.

    Sept 12th, 1:30 ET 

    Part 2 – It Begins With You – Erica Hooper
    In this session, we’ll look at why self-awareness is the foundation for meaningful change. We will share practical ways to pause, reflect, and recognize your own needs, strengths, and patterns—so you can show up more fully for yourself and others.

    Sept 19th, 1:30 ET 

    Part 3 – The Inner Work of Love – Charlene
    In this session, we’ll focus on the deep, personal practice of meeting yourself with compassion. You will learn how acts of self-kindness can strengthen resilience, open the heart, and create a lasting sense of inner peace.

    Sept 26th, 1:30 ET 

    Part 4 – Cultivating Self-Awareness Through Art – Mary
    Here, we’ll explore how creative expression can be a powerful tool for self-discovery. We will share examples and practices that use art to illuminate your inner landscape and bring clarity to what matters most to you.
