Focus, Fog and Fire Workshop
2026-01-22 13:00 - 15:00 | Bearspaw Lifestyle Centre
2026 is the year women stop “pushing through” and start giving their brains and bodies the support they actually deserve.
If you’ve been living in a haze of brain fog, exhaustion, hormonal chaos, overwhelm, or that feeling of “I know what I should do but I can’t get myself to start.” this workshop is your reset button.
This isn’t a fluffy wellness talk. It’s a science-backed, laugh-out-loud, deeply validating session that blends:
• Executive functioning tools
• Nervous system resets
• Activation strategies
• Movement snacks for clarity and bone health
• Practical habits you can start the same day
You’ll learn exactly why your brain hits the wall, how to cut through fog quickly, and how to build micro habits that keep you sharp, steady, and fired up for the rest of 2026. And because women’s wellness is never just mental or just physical, our session ends with a joyful, low-pressure dance-based movement snack that reminds you what it feels like to be grounded, energized, and connected.
Perfect for women in a season of:
• Perimenopause or hormonal shifts
• Stress, burnout, or decision fatigue
• Parenting overload
• Juggling 400 responsibilities
• Wanting 2026 to feel different from the last five years

Start your year with clarity, strength, laughter, and a plan your brain can actually follow.
