What’s for Dinner? It’s the question no one wants to answer, and it has nothing to do with food. It’s what shows up at the end of a day full of meetings that went nowhere, the same conversations on repeat, and decisions that kept circling back to you. Get out of the drive-thru. This session uses Ordered Soul's B.L.A.S.T. Method™ to show where your day broke down and what needs to change so you’re not ending every day running on empty. "Miriam Williams is a leadership strategist, speaker, 2x author, and founder of Ordered Soul LLC. She is known for helping overwhelmed leaders identify the hidden patterns, responsibilities, and pressures that are exhausting their lives, leadership, and families. She is the creator of the B.L.A.S.T. Framework, host of the podcast Be a Burnout Blaster, and the author of Eternity Built. Miriam also serves as a Program Director for LifeWise Academy in Washington County and speaks at conferences, business organizations, leadership events, and women’s gatherings. Her work often combines operational strategy, biblical conviction, and direct conversations that challenge leaders to stop normalizing burnout and start leading with clarity and confidence." 🌞👕 For our June Women in Business meeting, we are collecting SUMMER CLOTHING for children and adults to donate to Basic Needs Thrift Store!   We will take clothing in ANY condition -  if items can’t be used for wear, they can still be donated to the recycling unit. ♻️   Anyone is welcome to donate! If you have items to contribute and need them picked up, call or text Danielle Leonard to arrange a time. 📞 651-381-0478   Let’s work together to help our community this summer! ❤️
