Topic: My Parents are Aging. What Do I Need to Know?
Where: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon, IL 62269
Monday, May 20, 2024 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
I studied psychology at Belhaven College then completed a Master’s in Social Work at Washington University with a concentration in gerontology and a specialization in family therapy. My 25 year career in social work in the St Louis community includes work with psychiatric, medical and geriatric settings.
Aging Gracefully beautifully marries my education and passions. Geriatric care management is an individualized and personalized service. I collaborate with you to tailor services to the circumstances and needs of your family. I love spending time with families and individuals and really knowing their stories. I enjoy collaborating and advocating with others including doctors, nurses, home health agencies, caregivers, etc. With years of experience, I have knowledge of competent geriatric medical professionals and facilities in the St. Louis area. I am a willing and capable advocate for clients and families because of my passion for them and my professional experience.
Aging often refocuses our attention from activity and busyness to self-reflection and relational healing. It is my privilege to assist families to finish well during the twilight years of the older generation. My desire is to free families from daily care management tasks so they are able to relate as son, daughter, husband, wife, friend, etc. It is my pleasure to take care of the details of life and navigate systems so that your time as a family can be spent enjoying one another.
It is always difficult to start conversations around aging and end of life, but we know that preparedness helps us keep our independence.
Key points:
-Ways to start hard conversations.
-Why is it important to plan for the future.
-Important documents to have in place.
-Housing options for seniors. Contact this Speaker Directly:

[CANCELLED] Houston Chapter Meeting - SOS Circles
2024-05-23 11:30 - 13:00 | West Houston Institute, 2811 Hayes Road, Houston, 77082
IMPORTANT UPDATE

Dear Houston members and WEW community,

Considering recent thunderstorm effects and considering the challenges many of us are facing, we want to extend our heartfelt support and understanding to each of you. Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the difficult aftermath of the storms.

At times like this, it’s essential to prioritize what truly matters – our homes, families, and well-being. In the spirit of empathy and solidarity, we have decided to cancel our upcoming monthly meeting. This decision is made to ensure that everyone has the time and space needed to focus on returning to normalcy and taking care of what’s most important.

We are here for you, and we understand that sometimes, life’s unexpected turns require us to pause, reflect, and regroup. Please remember to take care of yourselves and each other during this time.

Stay safe, stay strong, and remember that we are a community that supports one another through thick and thin. We look forward to coming together again when the time is right.

With warm regards and understanding,
WEW Leaders

Hosted by: Karla Viesca
TOPIC: SOS Circles
WHERE: West Houston Institute – 2811 Hayes Road, Houston, TX 77082
Thursday, May 23, 2024 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
We will all have an opportunity to share our struggles, successes, and strategies during this deep dive into our SOS section.

What is an S.O.S. Circle?
An S.O.S. Circle is more than just a meeting—it’s a transformative experience where women come together to uplift and empower each other. Attendees have the opportunity to forge deep connections, dispel feelings of isolation, and emerge stronger, more resilient, and united in their journey towards personal and professional fulfillment.
For many women, celebrating successes can be challenging due to societal expectations and fear of being perceived as boastful. Likewise, sharing struggles may feel daunting as it requires vulnerability and the fear of judgment.
In a guided open forum setting, participants are invited to bravely share their triumphs and challenges, knowing that they are among a community of women who understand and empathize.
The acronym S.O.S. stands for “Share Our Successes” or “Share Our Struggles” and embodies the core purpose of the circle. This offers a safe space for women to bravely share their struggles and vulnerabilities, recognizing that doing so is not a sign of weakness but of strength and resilience.
All chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend. YES! You read that right.

(Lunch is no longer provided. If you would like to bring a bagged lunch you are more then welcome too.)
Enjoy a proven, structured system that embraces the building of relationships which in turn will grow your business efficiencies, sales, exposure, and business processes.
Come meet and learn from panelists, experts, and local women in your WEW chapter. You will also find allies who want to help with your success and are ready to share their resources and expertise to help you take that next step in your personal and professional life.

TOPIC: Branding Videos & Photography

Gabriela Elizondo Gonzales, a wife, mother of four and grandmother of five, a woman of resilience and compassion. With over two decades of experience as a successful photographer, Gabriela’s life took an unexpected turn with the onset of the pandemic. Facing canceled photoshoots and lost clients, she found herself searching for purpose amidst the uncertainty.
But rather than succumbing to despair, Gabriela chose to renew her mind and find ways to make a positive impact. As she decluttered her house, she was reminded of those who had lost their jobs and were in dire need. A simple act of kindness to one family sparked a fire within Gabriela to do more.
Using her platform on social media, Gabriela began rallying her community to help those in need. Through her subdivision’s Facebook page and personal account, friends and neighbors donated clothing, household items, and furniture for families struggling to make ends meet. The response was overwhelming, fueling Gabriela’s passion even further.
What began as a mission to provide basic necessities quickly grew into something much larger. Gabriela started Gabriela’s Families in Need, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income families. With the support of her friends and partners, she has been able to assist 252 families and counting,offering hope, opportunity, and comfort in challenging times.
Adding yet another dimension to her already multi-faceted life, she wholeheartedly supports her son’s company, Fly Factory Custom T-Shirts, and Promotional Products, serving as his trusted personal assistant. This demonstrates her unparalleled commitment to family and the success of loved ones.
One of Gabriela’s lifelong dreams, as she prayerfully became the official photographer for Lakewood Church after steadfastly believing in its realization for 14 long years. Even though her season at Lakewood ended she still gets excited to share that story. Additionally, she is the former, Director of Photography for H Texas Magazine, her talent and passion was showcased to a wide audience. Contact this Speaker Directly:
