Healthy Living
The Designed Life:
Understanding Your Passion and Purpose PEMS3979
We live in a world of constant change and transitions, where self-care is needed and desired;
a world where career growth goes hand in hand with personal and professional growth. Sometimes we need to stop and press pause when life is full of competing demands, increasing commitments and a consistent feeling that life is out of balance. Open to understanding who you are, what you want and what you can do to design your life with passion, pleasure and purpose.
