Navigating Political Anxiety & Stress
Wednesday, April 16th, 2025
About the Workshop
In this interactive and grounding presentation, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Jennifer Ruiz Blandon creates a compassionate space for women to explore how stress and anxiety show up in the body—especially during times of social unrest, political tension, and everyday overwhelm.
Through story, reflection, and gentle mind-body practices,
participants will reconnect with their natural capacity for calm and care.
Rather than focusing on political issues themselves, this session centers the emotional impact of living in a world that asks women to hold so much. Together, we’ll explore what it means to slow down, honor our limits, reconnect with joy, and practice everyday self-care as a sustaining act of resistance and healing.
