If you answered yes, to the questions above the Broken to Brilliant Blogging GEMS program could be for you.

There are limited places for 10 people, the cost is $299 per person. There will be 14 webinars between February and October, sharing Blogging Skills and education on the selfcare practices of Gratitude, Exercise, Meditation, Support and Service (GEMS). After each education session you will put the selfcare strategy into practice and blog about your experience. The aim is to help you get into the habit of practicing selfcare, while you test and work out what selfcare strategies resonate with you. Writing about your experiences helps to process these activities and build your writing skills. Each of your blogs will be professionally reviewed by author and former award winning journalist, Belinda Pollard. Then they will be published on the Broken to Brilliant website.
