&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Have you ever replayed a conversation long after it ended, second-guessed a decision, or found yourself lying awake while your mind refuses to turn off? If so, you're not alone. Overthinking isn't a sign that you're weak or incapable—it's often your brain trying to protect you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join Counseling Psychologist and Executive Coach Dr. Bonnie Wims for an insightful session exploring the neuroscience behind overthinking and why our minds get stuck in unhelpful thought loops. You'll learn the difference between healthy reflection and rumination, discover why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to overthinking, and leave with practical, evidence-based strategies to quiet mental chatter, make decisions with greater confidence, and reclaim your peace of mind.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Today, she designs organic food gardens, small farms and fruit orchards from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and teaches about healthy food, nutrition and reducing toxins in our everyday lives. Her philosophy is simple: it’s never too late to make choices that help you feel better and live healthier.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Throughout her career, she has led complex programs, strategic initiatives and large-scale organizational change. But her leadership story is also deeply personal. After years of putting the needs of work and family ahead of her own, a life-threatening health crisis followed by a stroke forced Lynda to rethink how she cared for herself. She rebuilt her health and developed daily practices around movement, mindfulness and well-being. Today, she brings a powerful perspective on resilience, stress and why taking care of ourselves can't always wait until tomorrow.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;As the year draws to a close, it's natural to focus on what's next—but meaningful growth begins by understanding where you've been. Join Counseling Psychologist and Executive Coach Dr. Bonnie Wims for a thoughtful 20-minute Zoom session exploring the psychology of personal growth, identity, and change.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Through research-backed insights and practical reflection, you'll discover how to recognize the strengths you've gained, release what no longer serves you, and step into the new year with greater clarity, purpose, and confidence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Because the most important transformation isn't becoming someone new—it's becoming more fully yourself.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
