Distracted. Disengaged. Rushed. Stressed. Overwhelmed. 😒

Recognize yourself? If so, we get it. We feel the same way (owning a small business is hard!) That’s why we’re partnering with and EmpowerHER to deliver balance, calm and connection right when we all need it most 🌸

Please join us at Betty Center next Friday, October 17th from 9:30am - 11:30am to press pause, breathe, and connect with yourself before the holiday and end-of-year craziness creeps in and makes us even more stressed- lol 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Our dear friend and amazing local author Sara Corckran will help us unclench, recalibrate, and rediscover our own strength. She’ll lead the way as we all take a moment for ourselves. We deserve it, don’t you think?!?

Sara’s book “Grit & Grace: How To Find Clarity And Optimism In Overwhelming Situations” is a roadmap for the next chapter of your story. She teaches you how to move beyond life’s challenges - big and small - and become the best version of yourself. And next Friday morning, you’ll hear directly from her as she highlights strategies for becoming that very best version of YOU.

It all starts with mindful self-awareness. Or as I like to call it, “staying on your yoga mat” 😁

We welcome you to this special morning where you can focus on yourself, meet others (if you choose…or stay quietly to yourself if that’s what you need), and prepare for the final weeks of 2025 and beyond.

We are so excited to see you. Bring yourself. Bring a friend. Bring a family member. But just plan to come.

Nurture yourself. You deserve it.

Only 5 tickets left, so grab yours today:

Self-confidence doesn’t come from others. It’s not “given” to you externally.

Self-confidence is the happy by-product of mastering a new skill you didn’t have before. Learning something you didn’t know. Trying and failing, and trying again and again, until…you can DO it.

Whatever “it” is, you’ve now gained another new skill or piece of knowledge that strengthens & makes you a better YOU.

And you feel proud.
Sure of yourself.
A little more - wait for it - CONFIDENT than you were yesterday.

And the best part? No one can ever take your new skill away. It’s part of YOU. You earned it. It’s your truth. It’s real. Every time you face something that requires that new skill, you can say “I’ve got this”, because now you truly do.

Just think: When kids learn to tie their shoes, write their name, or ride a bike, what’s the first thing they say? “Look, I DID it!” They feel proud because they pushed themselves out of their comfort zone, tried something new, and discovered a little bit more about themselves in the process. Hooray!

That’s the definition of self-confidence 👏

The joy, excitement and sense of self-worth of skills’ acquisition never goes away. Every time we try, fail, persevere and eventually succeed, we add another self-confident brick into our personal sense of self. We discover our gifts, face our fears, and build our own agency.

And that’s good news for all of us…at ANY age 💪

Think of all the things you can do. Isn’t it amazing?!? You are a master of SO many skills…so if you’re feeling a little low, take stock of what you CAN do and pat yourself on the back for being so incredible.

You don’t need anyone else to tell you how miraculous and special you are. Let your list of skills & talents be your own reminder.

In 1984, our “OG”- Bettianne - stood proudly in the US Senate as President Reagan signed the first national child support legislation into law. She’s smiling here because she defied the odds and helped draft & pass this legislation - from her townhouse in Vienna, VA!

Working with a small group of parents from her kitchen - our founder Christa and brothers by her side - Bettianne fought back against a broken, fragmented child support system that didn’t prioritize women and families. After years of struggle and roadblocks trying to collect more than $10,000 in child support for her own kids, Bettianne finally said “Enough is enough. I’ve had it!” And she got to work, not just for her own family but for millions of women and children across the state of Virginia and eventually, nationwide.

“Some thought what we did couldn’t be accomplished, but I guess we proved them wrong. This is proof a system that doesn’t work can be changed.” (Bettianne, 08/16/84)

It can feel tempting to give up, give in, and lose hope, especially in these very fraught times. But never give in to despair, frustration, anger or fear! Use your voice to fight back - like Bettianne did - and make change for yourself, your family, your community. You can do it, and we are here to help!

At Betty Center, we channel Bettianne’s strength, determination, resilience and empowerment into everything we do…helping women and their families heal, connect, learn and grow. We are here for you every step of the way.

Happy Birthday, Dr. King 🇺🇸 Today and every day, may we heed his magnificent words and never lose hope. We are and shall remain one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
