Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Dawn Jelley RN, CHPN called “The Caregiver Archetype: Good at Caring, Terrible with Boundaries and what to do about it”.  She began with a brief explanation and definition of the various personality archetypes which helped create the foundation for this insightful discussion. Through her presentation Dawn drew from her years of experience as a hospice nurse and personal health journey that exemplified why it is so important to set boundaries. Her message that “No” is a full sentence and that it is okay to say no—without guilt—really resonated with me” Christel

Dawn did an excellent job of engaging the audience numerous times during the presentation including a quiz and a take home Permission Slip to write down and contemplate how we can do a better job of saying no and prioritizing our own well-being in addition to caring for others.

She also shared several books and other reference materials for us to reference as we begin and continue our individual journeys to better manage stress; become more resilient; and practice caring for yourself not just others.

Very inspiring, thought-provoking, and energizing!
