EVENTS


What if self-care were strategic—not a luxury you squeeze in when everything else is done?

You show up.
For your family.
For your clients.
For your community.

 You do it with strength, with grace, with heart.
But here’s the question we don’t ask enough: Is your caregiving sustainable?

This week on WellNess Wednesdays, February 18 @ 7:30 PM EST, we’re diving into “Creative Caregiving: Joy Over Burnout in the Digital Era.”

Shimoda Donna Emanuel offers a refreshing take on self-care through the lens of a caregiver in a busy, digital world. Protecting your energy isn’t optional—it’s part of how you stay creative, healthy, and consistent. This is not another “bubble bath and take a break” conversation.

 She’ll show how self-care can look:
·         Smart choices and gentle, firm boundaries that protect your nervous system.
·         Making creative work easier, so you’re not constantly starting from scratch.
·        Using technology like Canva to turn your original artwork and ideas into reorderable, income-generating products, so you’re not always “on” or producing from empty.

 You’ll leave with practical tools to:
·         Reduce burnout without abandoning your people.
·         Streamline your creative process.
·         Build offerings that can sell again and again, so your income isn’t tied to constant physical output.

 You don’t have to disappear to take care of everyone else.
·         WellNess Wednesdays – February 18 @ 7:30 PM EST
·         LIVE on YouTube @DisruptorDAO

 Come for real-life strategies to choose joy over depletion, without losing your generosity, brilliance, or impact.
