Wednesday, May 6 at 1 pm ET/ 12 pm CT/ 10 am PT: Finding Joy Between Coffee & Chaos presentation offered by Kara McCarthy Perry, MILS Faculty Circle Leader & NJ/NY Chapter Chair. This interactive session reframes joy as a practice—not just a feeling—using simple, everyday mindfulness, curiosity, and small shifts in attention. Aligned with IWIL’s “Tending Joy” theme, we’ll focus on how brief moments of awareness, connection, and even a touch of play can bring more ease, clarity, and energy into the workday. Expect practical, accessible ways to “lighten up to level up” with real tools you can use between coffee and chaos. - click here to register.
