After our first all-staff meeting of 2025, YWCA St. Paul staff got to participate in a mini retreat called Recharge, Reconnect, Reignite, facilitated by Michelle Pohlad of Love Voice Rising. Thanks to her generous gift of her time and talent, staff were able to spend time reflecting on their wellbeing. Right now, when our work is more critical than ever, it was a delight to step back and learn about healing ourselves and each other while we work toward our mission.
Pohlad, author of Personal Heart Power, led an informative session about wellness strategies and provided education on how to address the difficulties we sometimes face in our daily work.
Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your gift of reflection and self-empowerment with YW staff! What a great way to start out our year.
