I Need your Love, is that True

Mary Wood

Saturday 7:15PM - 8:15PM EST

Personal Story All

We spend a large part of our lives seeking approval and appreciation. This can become constant and unquestioned. Personally, I thought I needed someone else to love and appreciate me, especially when I stutter. What happens when we realize we don’t need someone else’s approval and love? Please join me for interesting conversation that leads to insights that can change your life, just as they continue to change mine.


What to expect

As we come to realize that our self-worth and self-acceptance don’t come from someone else, but from ourselves, we are open to possibilities and opportunities we never thought possible. Our thoughts and feelings move from the fear of speaking to knowing that whether we stutter or not, we can accomplish what our hearts and minds tell us is ours to do.
