Live a BIG Life: Your Roadmap to Strength, Confidence, and Joy
Full-Day Workshop
Women often find themselves pulled in a dozen directions—caring for children and aging parents, managing careers and finances, and trying to keep up with a world that never slows down. In the process, their own dreams and well-being can quietly slip to the bottom of the list.
This full-day Live a BIG Life experience is designed to change that. With candor, humor, and hard-won wisdom, Joan Burge leads women through a transformative journey of self-discovery, resilience, and renewal. Through interactive exercises and powerful reflection, participants will learn how to rise above setbacks, choose themselves without guilt, and embrace the confidence to live unapologetically bold. Women leave not just inspired—but equipped with a practical roadmap to thrive in every season of life.
