Upper limits restrict how much success, love, money, energy we allow for ourselves.
Limited beliefs diminish what’s possible for us so we will spend time together “unfixing” your mind, being “irreverent”, “impractical”, “undistractable”, finding your “electricity”, suspending the “how”, making your “move” because you are ready, and most importantly, “staying plugged” in to more possibilities!
Come and recommit to the positive mindset promises you have made to yourself for increased joy, success, and love in the past, and leave with new energy and tools to keep those promises!
Pat Parker is a seeker of paths and human excellence. As a mom, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt, friend, neighbor, writer, speaker, personal development coach, Realtor, and dancer, she discovered the joy of exploring personal paths for herself and others.
As a resident of the later stages of life, Pat is an advocate of changing the collective focus from “anti-age” to “pro-age”; a champion of ageless resilience. Pat uses her coaching and writing skills to take the “bunk” out of stereotyping women and aging and brings attention to unlimited possibilities (personally and professionally) when we shift from a “fixed” mindset to a “growth” mindset.

Traditional networking events can be aaawwwwkward! But we have fun activities that make it easier to connect with other women entrepreneurs.
Connecting is important and here’s why:
