struggling to follow through with them? Join us on March 4th from 10-11:30 am for a RISE
(Refresh, Inspire, Support, Empower) info session where you learn how to create SMART
goals, set yourself up for success, and common things that may hold you back (and how
to keep going!) Following the info session will be optional weekly get-togethers and an
ongoing virtual chat to encourage and uplift each other on our respective journeys! Call
