    Evolving Forward: Reflecting, Releasing, and Reimagining the Next Chapter 


    The end of the year isn’t just a time to set new goals — it’s an invitation to pause and integrate the growth that’s already happened. Evolving Forward explores the quiet psychology of change: how to reflect with self-compassion, release what no longer fits, and step into the next chapter with clarity and intention. Drawing from evidence-based psychology and real-world leadership insights, this session helps participants transform reflection into momentum — not through pressure, but through presence.


    When you look back on this year, are you measuring progress by what you achieved — or by how you’ve changed?


    Join C-Sweet for a highly interactive monthly session facilitated by Dr. Bonnie Wims, Counseling Psychologist. Dr. Bonnie runs this monthly program the 2nd Weds of the month at 12 noon PT / 3 pm ET. 


    The purpose of this highly popular and interactive roundtable is to discuss business and personal issues which may be more rooted and of a psychological nature for you.  Bonnie's sessions are NOT recorded.
