Facing Your Fears Workshop

January 17 2026 @ Aronos Research Club 37 Elkin St. Sonora, CA

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse I endured many challenges in my life including physical violence in relationships as an adult.  I have met many women over the years who stay "stuck" in the past and struggle to learn how to cope in life, let alone thrive!  

Many women who experience abuse deal with fear.  Fear begins to take over your life.  For me, it became all I knew.  I was afraid of everything.  

In order to learn to thrive I had to learn to face my fears.  This is very hard to do at first!  

I created this workshop to give you an opportunity to connect with other women and have a safe space to share your fears and learn how to face them and overcome fear!  This workshop also includes 2 follow zoom meetings to connect and support one another as you continue the journey of facing your fears.


This is an interactive workshop where I will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone.  I will NEVER force you to participate but the more you are open to participate the more you will learn and overcome fears.


Cost to attend is $120 - Use this link to Sign Up:
