In a world characterized by rapid changes and uncertainties, finding your personal anchors can be the key to maintaining productivity and peace. In this intimate breakfast session, entrepreneur Olivia Plotnick will share her story of running her business and multiple projects without a fixed home base for nearly three years. With each transition came challenges — from loneliness to the thrill of new beginnings — and invaluable lessons on creating stability no matter where life takes you.
•Personal “Anchors”: How to establish habits, rituals, and routines that can become your stability in the midst of change.
•Coping Mechanisms: Managing stress, embracing new environments, and maintaining mental wellness through practical, everyday practices.
•Adapting with Grace: The importance of adaptability, resilience, and self-care in navigating both professional and personal transitions.
•Building Your Community: Finding supportive networks that empower you during times of change.
