The Art of Fully Being You - Four week book circle
The Art of Fully Being You
A Four-Week Book Circle with Kate Moreland and Sasha Boros
Dates: Mondays, October 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2026, 6:30-8:00 pm
What if becoming more fully yourself begins with questioning the rules you were taught about who a “good woman” should be?
Join Kate Moreland and Sasha Boros for a four-week guided book circle inspired by Elise Loehnen’s On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. Together, we will explore the expectations, habits, and cultural messages that can keep women striving, pleasing, comparing, and making themselves smaller—and consider what becomes possible when we begin to let them go.
Through meaningful conversation, personal reflection, and connection with other women, participants will be invited to examine the stories they have inherited, reconnect with their own needs and truth, and explore what it means to live with greater freedom, authenticity, and self-trust.
You do not need to have read On Our Best Behavior to participate, arrive with all the answers, or agree with every idea explored. Simply bring your curiosity, your perspective, and a willingness to be part of an honest and supportive conversation. Participants are welcome to register for the complete four-week series or attend an individual session.

We All Forget: When to Worry and What to Do?
We all forget things. How do we know when a memory lapse is part of everyday life, and when it may be time to seek help? Join Dr. Lynn Rankin of Des Moines for an insightful evening on cognitive health and practical steps we can take to support it.

She would love to share research-based recommendations for dietary and lifestyle means of optimizing memory and reducing dementia risk. In addition, she will provide an overview of new tests for early detection and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Come as you are. Leave feeling seen, encouraged, and connected.
