Identifying and Mastering Stress as an Organizer, Business Owner and Human
Who doesn't need help managing their stress? Monica Ricci, a former professional organizer, turned sought-after speaker and motivational coach who calls her program Heroic Leaders, will speak on why "Stress Sucks" and what to do about it.
You won't want to miss Monica. She is a dynamic speaker and author and comes with rave reviews. NAPO Georgia is thrilled to feature Monica, who is also an author and known nationally in the organizing world. She is a former president of our Chapter and a long-time member before moving out of state.
From Monica: "Stress is an unavoidable part of life, so why do some people handle it better than others? The answer isn't simply stress management techniques like self-care and box breathing. This interactive program approaches stress management in a new way. You'll learn how to identify what's actually stressing you, how to begin experiencing stressors differently, and some surprising ways you're adding stress to your life without realizing it."

What happens after someone dies is rarely simple, and too often, it is left for loved ones to untangle in the middle of grief. In this practical, approachable talk, Rachel Donnelly shares five high-impact ways individuals and professionals can help reduce chaos, confusion, and conflict before it is urgently needed. Drawing from real-world after loss experience and insights from her book Late to Your Own Funeral, Rachel will walk through concrete steps clients can take now to organize key information, clarify wishes, and create a legacy that is a gift rather than a burden. Attendees will learn how small, proactive actions can dramatically ease the load on executors and families, where professional organizers naturally fit into this work, and when to refer clients for additional after loss or legacy support.
You can purchase Rachel's book "Late to your own Funeral", by visiting her website https://myafterlight.com/ or on Amazon
