The class has been a lifesaver because I was dealing with an unexpected loss and the lessons were all very beneficial. The instructors were helpful with navigating the lessons in the class and with overcoming trials in life. I am more confident and less anxious after having completed the class. I was able to reflect on my relationship with others and myself and gain a much more positive outlook on life.

Attending the Empower Her helped me take the first steps to becoming happier and more fulfilled in my life. My anxiety is lessened, more so than any medication that had been prescribed in the last three years. I am more grateful than I can express to Lady Veterans Connect for providing this opportunity to me.

This course was amazing. It opened my eyes and my heart to reality. I don’t have to have expectations. I don’t have to be “on” all the time. Rationalizing life vs trying to be everything for everyone has been the concept that has helped my anxiety and depression. The tools taught through the 8 weeks have made a difference in me. Also, being with like women and having community is priceless.

This 8-week course helped me stay focused on self-care. Meeting once a week held me accountable. It was nice to connect more with the other veterans I had met at the first retreat. I felt this course helped add tools for resiliency. The practice of “live withs” and “soul work” stuck with me and taught me more about acceptance and commitment. I hope I still have access to the training modules down the road.
