    🌿 Embrace Your Inner Sage: A Journey to Personal and Professional Growth 🌿 Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, sensing a deeper calling that beckons you to explore beyond the familiar? That’s your inner sage guiding you—an intuitive compass pointing toward your true path. My own journey was marked by this internal tug, initially felt in my career choices but soon resonating across all aspects of my life. For years, I wrestled with this inner knowing, dismissing it as mere restlessness or uncertainty. But as time passed, its whispers grew louder, impossible to ignore. Finally, almost three decades ago exactly, I summoned the courage to listen—and what unfolded was nothing short of transformative. By embracing the guidance of my inner sage, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and growth that transcended the confines of my professional sphere. It wasn’t just about finding the right career (engineering computer systems to a focus on human systems); it was about aligning with my deepest values, passions, and sense of purpose. Today, I invite you to pause and reflect: 🌟What is your inner sage trying to tell you? 🌟 What dreams lie within your heart, waiting to be acknowledged and pursued? Embracing your inner wisdom isn’t always easy, but the rewards are immeasurable. It’s about stepping into your authenticity, unlocking your full potential, and living a life of meaning and fulfillment. Consider honoring that voice within, and unlock the door to personal and professional growth beyond measure. #InnerSage #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #innerwisdom

    Dear friends, I've been reflecting deeply on a recent experience that touched my soul to its core. Picture this: Rancho La Puerta with its breathtaking art installations, became a sanctuary where my spirit felt truly alive. In the presence of such beauty, I found myself drawn to the peak of Mount Kuchumaa, a sacred beacon of creativity. The Native Kumeyaay tribe aptly calls it the "womb of the world," and in that moment, I understood why. This encounter stirred something within me—a longing to share this sense of connection and possibility with others. To share my experiences as an inner fitness coach guiding others on exclusive retreats with those who can benefit. Particularly with my fellow entrepreneurs, navigating the tumultuous waters of life's demands. So here's my heartfelt offering: Sponsored by The Viva Center I'm extending an invitation to join me virtually on March 15th to get a streamlined introduction of my programming on my 2 decades of transformational workshops from my retreats. Together, let's explore my methodology, and experiential workshops in a format that's accessible and intimate. Through over three decades of clinical work, my journey as a trauma expert, and my immersion in real estate and entrepreneurship, I've cultivated a keen sense for unlocking POTENTIAL. But it's more than just a professional endeavor—it's deeply personal. My own story, marked by early trauma and disconnection, led me on a quest to understand the depths of the human psyche and the path to intentional, purposeful change through academic rigor and the clinical practice of 3 decades . It's a journey that's taken me to the far corners of my own soul, uncovering layers of wisdom and resilience I never knew existed. Now, I feel compelled to share this journey with you—to offer a glimpse into the transformative power of embracing our inner compass, our Inner Sage. It's about reclaiming our stories, finding clarity amidst the chaos, and stepping boldly into our PURPOSE. #InnerSage #Transformation #Empowerment 🌟

    Have you read that over the years, more therapists have come to The Viva Center, united by the desire to end the stigma against mental illness and to promote happiness and health across DC.  Julie Lopez, PhD, founder of Viva Center, a holistic group therapy practice in the District, says that many lawyers come through the center's doors seeking help with mental health concerns exacerbated by their career. The reality is that law is and will continue to be one of the most stressful careers, but Lopez recommends an adaptive approach to wellness -- one that is centered on changing what you can. Her three-pronged strategy for well-being focuses on proactive, in-the-moment and recovery actions. #therapists #therapy #mentalillness #careers #stressful #lawyers #future

The most widespread and available peer support groups, such as 12 Steps, may use contradictory language and not feel applicable for them.

In this presentation, she will explore the relationship between unhealed trauma and the development of substance addiction.
