Shantelle Bisson is an author, producer, actress, and podcaster. In this three-part presentation, Shantelle will address;
- How we, as women and caregivers, tend to develop the habit of taking care of others before taking care of ourselves.
- How we were in the hierarchy of our families, and where we may have developed the subconscious habit of thinking we don’t deserve to be taken care of, that others’ needs are more important than our own.
- What we can start to do today to make ourselves healthier tomorrow.
