Finally, a book that gets it. Author Leslie Forde and Lisa Jean-Francois are teaming up to discuss Forde’s new book, Repair with Self-Care: Your Guide to the Mom's Hierarchy of Needs—a refreshingly honest take on managing the chaos without losing yourself.
Forget “time management” advice. This conversation will dive into energy management, redefining priorities, and other strategies that are actually useful for women trying to make it all work.
Drinks and light bites will provided. Books available for purchase and signing.
Lisa will also be bringing a special thank-you gift for all attendees. All purchases made during the event receive 15% off.
