May draws from her diverse experiences to share practical wisdom on balancing self-care with caring for others. She will explore how intentional living, healthy boundaries, and mutual respect create stronger individuals and communities. This talk is an invitation to reflect on what it means to show up for yourself while still being present for others— thriving isn’t just personal, it’s shared.
