In this talk, Dr. Fernandes - a mom, certified coach, and family physician - guides women out of survival mode, to identify the key shifts necessary to bring greater calm, clarity, and control. Blending mindset, nervous system regulation, and realistic time management for moms, you will learn how to stop running on empty and start showing up with more presence and peace. This session offers real-life tools, relatable stories, and a reminder that you deserve to feel good in your own life—not just get through it.
