I struggle with all the weight of the responsibilities and requirements of life and wanted to take Living Lighter because I know Teresa is an excellent teacher, and because I needed to do something to make lasting changes. My biggest takeaway was that all 4 parts (home, body, mind, & soul) need to be present in my life to feel lighter... and that I HAVE to make these things happen myself, nobody else is going to do it for me. My favorite section was the two weeks we spent on “Mind” – because I especially struggle with this. And I think that what holds me up in the other areas stems from the mindset of things that I need to change. All the focus areas were so good and well balanced, covering the main things that we as women struggle with in our lives. This class stretched me... but ultimately realized that I have to invest in myself to get better and that requires financial investment also. There was so much material and the teaching was excellent - both by Teresa and the guest speakers for each section.
I was feeling overwhelmed managing household, kids, and work. Living Lighter helped me realize though that we are all struggling with similar issues and I shouldn’t be shamed because I feel things are out of control. Instead, I’ve learned techniques to improve it all: like dividing projects into small tasks, at night recalling my achievements of the day, the importance of sleep (I get anxious with life situations and the first thing to go away is sleep). I’m learning to take care of myself. I’m glad I stuck all the way to the end because the sections are all interrelated. The exterior reflects the interior. We must take care of the interior to have a lighter exterior.

Read MoreAs a working mom with both a baby AND a toddler, I was feeling frazzled, overwhelmed, and like I hadn’t accomplished enough each day. I wanted to do better for myself and my family. [Teresa’s course] Living Lighter helped me maximize the time I do have. I especially loved the practical tips and takeaways during the two-week section that focused on Home, since this is the area of my life that feels the most chaotic. We all really felt transformation happening in the community itself as we grew. This class was definitely worth my investment!!
