Weighty Matters: Learning to Live a Healthy Happy Life

Margie (hard “g”) Namie held a demanding career as a nurse executive overseeing clinical quality for Mercy Health. She was also obese her entire life, either losing large amounts of weight or regaining it all back again. Her weight had caused chronic health issues: high blood pressure, arthritis leading to nine knee surgeries, gastric reflux, and swollen ankles.In 2016, she started a path towards healthy living after her retirement. Over two years she gradually lost over half her weight and learned to exercise—something she swore she would never do. Building off of Margie Namie’s “Transforming Me” talk last week, this highly interactive group will take a deeper dive into what it means to live a happy healthy life. Each week you will learn a little more of Margie’s process she went through, take away practical tools for things like managing pain and limiting, negative beliefs, with some fieldwork to move what you’re learning from your head to your heart, and seriously start your own journey toward living a happy healthy life. _THIS EIGHT-WEEK “WEIGHTY MATTERS” SERIES IS $50. PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED. _
