She’ll reveal her secrets to maintaining balance amidst the chaos. \nYlva-Kristina Osterman\, will share her incredible story and how she managed to have a highly successful international career while also being a single mother and raising her children on her own\, as a sole provider. She will teach us a quick meditation we can do when we are feeling overwhelmed. \nCome share and discuss how and if we can manage it all. \nWe want to hear about your best tips and tricks. How do you get it all done and keep your sanity? \nThis networking event is YOUR event.
