In celebration of the two-year anniversary of the Essential Self-Care podcast, Radiant Living Institute is set to host an evening of self-care, wellness, and connection on October 23, 2024. Taking place at Assembly on Granby Street in downtown Norfolk, the free event will bring together thought leaders, wellness experts, and the community for an immersive experience focused on empowering attendees to prioritize self-care.
Hosted by Dr. Sheetal Ajmani, founder of Radiant Living Institute, physician, and bestselling author, the event will feature a live recording of her popular podcast. Known for exploring real-life self-care stories, Dr. Ajmani has invited a panel of local wellness leaders to dive into meaningful discussions on how to maintain mental and physical well-being in a fast-paced world.
The featured panelists include:
- Wendy Goldberg, host of Sundays with Wendy, who is renowned for her advocacy and healing insights for families navigating medical challenges.
- Stephanie Walters, TV host and producer of Before Brunch TV, whose work engages women in thought-provoking, authentic conversations.
- Brenten Sims, co-founder of the I See You Bro podcast, which centers around the mental health and well-being of Black men through honest dialogue.
The evening kicks off at 5:30 PM with networking opportunities, light refreshments, and a mocktail bar. Following the live podcast recording at 6:15 PM, attendees can participate in a hands-on Self-Care Expo. Local experts will lead activity stations featuring practices like mindful movement, fitness, songwriting, and art, offering attendees the chance to explore new modalities of self-care that they can incorporate into their daily lives.
Dr. Ajmani, reflecting on the event’s mission, shared, “We’re creating a space where people can experience self-care firsthand, be inspired by local thought leaders, and learn how to make self-care a priority in their busy lives. It’s not just about hearing stories – it’s about empowering attendees with practical tools they can use to live radiantly.”
This dynamic evening promises more than conversation – it offers attendees an opportunity to connect with others, learn new ways to care for themselves, and celebrate the power of wellness. Free to the public with prior registration required, the event is already sparking interest in the Norfolk community. Those interested are encouraged to reserve their spot online through Eventbrite.
