Serenity Now! How to Prioritize Your Calm in the Midst of Chaos
Melissa Jepson
When you think of your typical grooming day, “peaceful” is generally not an apt description. We groomers often have stressed out, overworked, and fast-paced days that require us to think on our feet and be reactive rather than proactive and we as the groomer tend to put ourselves in last place as we care for our clients and families, both human and canine. Prioritizing ourselves is hard! This class will focus on understanding our thought processes and finding ways to both prevent and also work through when we have difficulties creep up on us. We face unique struggles in our community and we cannot pour from an empty cup! Join Melissa as we learn how to sustainably flow through your workday with minimizing stress and maximizing your mental health.
