Reacquaint yourself with YOU with Rebecca Bradshaw
Saturday 10:30am at the apa Workshop Space
As women, we are pro’s at knowing who likes what, what makes them tick and all the general preferences of our loved ones to make their life more comfortable BUT what about YOU? When was the last time you prioritised your preferences or checked in with yourself to see what lights you up?

How can you expect others to meet your needs and help you if you don’t actually know what you want and what that looks like? This workshop helps to shine the spotlight on you and helps to reacquaint yourself with YOU because you matter!
