IPUL Live - Lunch and Learn from January 27:
Self-Care
Sarah Tueller
IPUL was live this week, covering the topic of self-care. When you take care of others all the time, its incredibly important to take care of yourself.

Sarah and Melissa host a fast conversation about this topic!

We know what you're thinking...self-care? Who has time for that? Well, grab your lunch and join us for 15 minutes or so and find out how easy it can actually be, even if you might have to sneak away and hide in the closet or bathroom.

You can click the above image to watch the recording of this lunch and learn, or click this link to do the same.
