I am so honored and excited to be part of this year’s MakeHer Summit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts leading a workshop on self care for creatives.

When you pour your heart and soul into your work, how do you reset? In my one-hour workshop, we will explore different and practical means of self care geared towards women working and living in the creative world and work to implement strategies to keep us accountable to our selves.

This workshop is part of the MakeHer Summit, a two-day event featuring the MakeHer Mart, a Fresh Talk panel event featuring women in the creative economy, and workshops for growth, the nitty gritty of running a creative business, and self care for creative entrepreneurs at all levels.
