Dr. Lynn HellersteinDr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight is back with a solo show to update you all about her life months after her recent retirement.

Lastly, she invites us all to reflect on what we want to create for our lives by answering a few, simple questions that will allow us to look at ourselves through a fresh, new lens.

Expand Your Vision

"What stories have you been telling yourself, or rules that you have created that may not be true, or may even be disempowering? Some of these stories could be about, like, I’m not good enough, or I have to be perfect, or nobody likes me, or it goes on and on. Look at those stories. Are they really true? What would it feel like if you actually didn’t listen to some of those stories? Or you broke the rules of how you live your life? How would that feel?" - Dr. Lynn Hellerstein
