About this Event

Resilience for Reality is a practical, interactive workshop for people with full lives, not much extra time or energy, and a steady background hum of overwhelm.

This is not a list of stress tips or aspirational self-care. Instead, you’ll choose one real challenge you’re dealing with right now, get clear on what actually needs your attention, and leave with a plan you can realistically follow through on.


What we cover
  • How to sort what’s competing for your attention using a simple Need To / Want To / Have To framework
  • Why avoidance grows overwhelm, even when it makes sense in the moment
  • How to use your values to decide what matters, so your next step feels clear and solid

This session blends reflection with simple tools, small-group practice, and guided discussion. You’ll leave with one next step you’ve already chosen, plus a framework you can use again anytime life feels too full.

This is resilience grounded in reality: clear, human, and doable.


Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Choose one real issue that’s driving their overwhelm
  • Sort tasks and pressure into Needs, Wants, and Have Tos
  • Recognize how avoidance (not failure) often keeps overwhelm in place
  • Pick 1–2 personal values and use them to shape one realistic next step
  • Leave with a simple framework they can reuse when overwhelm shows up again

Participant Takeaways

Each participant leaves with:

  • One clear focus (not a long list)
  • A completed Needs / Wants / Have Tos map
  • A short Values-to-Action plan (one value, one decision, one step)
  • Simple language for explaining their priority, useful for boundaries and communication
  • A repeatable process for getting back to clarity when life ramps up

“If nothing else changes after today, this one step still moves your life forward.”
