We often have a hard time connecting in the bedroom when our brains are filled with to-do lists, errands to run, and the unspoken load of ensuring a family runs like a well-oiled machine. This breakout session will discuss sex, communication, resentment, and how everything we do outside the bedroom, impacts all that we do inside the bedroom. You'll leave with strategies to close the gap between what you want and need and what your partner wants and needs. 🕑: 10:45 AM - 11:45 AMWorkshop Choice 2: You're Not Failing- You're OverstimulatedHost: Carmel BurtonInfo: Parenting rarely unravels during the big moments — it unravels in the everyday ones. This pull-away session offers simple, achievable regulation tools you can use right inside your home, supporting children of all ages and the adults who care for them — without needing perfection, extra time, or a calm place to start. Together, we’ll explore how nervous systems actually work in real family life, why so many parents feel overwhelmed and dysregulated, and how small, gentle shifts can bring meaningful relief to the day-to-day. No fixing. No overhauls. Just support that fits inside real life.🕑: 11:45 AM - 01:00 PMLunchHost: Michelle Gapp - Kalamata Pit CateringInfo: As many of you know, Michelle Gapp's food is a treat.
