Discover Kristen Powell, MS, LCPC and Certified Grief Educator and Specialist, in her thoughtful blog post “Grief The Unspoken Silence.” She explores how grief can appear in many forms and shares compassionate, practical ways to move through it. Visit our website to read the full post and learn more about her reflections on healing and honoring loss.

Grief is a universal experience, we all share it, yet no one talks about it. It is uncomfortable and a topic we tend to keep to ourselves, not wanting to burden others with our pain.

Jenna Fash from Fash Counseling and Myriam Sanchez from Your Family Wellness Village LLC and Cohera led an interactive workshop for the Glen Ellyn IL Chamber of Commerce on Women leaders & Competition. We discussed how competition can either be an opportunity, barrier, or motivator, and how to overcome competition and turn it into collaboration. We peeked into self-confidence and how it may play a role in perceived competition as it may highlight areas in our leadership where we feel self-conscious about.

Jenna and Myriam will be leading a deeper-dive half-day workshop - open to anyone in the community - on self-confidence/self-esteem in Winter/Spring 2026. Stay tuned!
