Hosted by Ann Douglas and Christine Hennebury

Ann will be teaming up with creative life coach and storyteller Christine Hennebury to offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity to apply a mix of creative and science-backed strategies to taming those feelings of overwhelm.

Here’s how things will work. Our conversations will be taking place in a private discussion area on a state-of-the-art community platform. This will allow us to do our thinking and learning in an environment of mutual support and encouragement, away from the noise and distraction of social media. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in live chats and small-group video/audio calls with Ann and Christine.

Think you might want to be part of our group? Here’s how to apply. Once your application has been reviewed and accepted, we’ll be back in touch with details about payment and to tell you everything you need to know to get yourself up and running before we officially launch on October 1.

NOTE: Registration is now closed. Please sign up for Ann’s parenting courses and communities newsletter to be notified when this community is open for registration again.
