Enjoyed Meeting the Breathe Body & Mind Community!

Yesterday, I spoke at the Breathe Body & Mind community about my book, 50 After 50: Reframing the Next Chapter of Your Life, my story of how I changed my life in my 50th year. The founder, Lynne Maloney, left her corporate job at The Washington Post to create a vibrant community of people in West Springfield, Virginia interested in personal growth. “While she loved her career, she had a nagging dream to create a welcoming fitness studio where people look forward to going to nourish their body, mind and spirit and find a sense of community . . . Breathe Body and Mind was born in July 2016.”

I appreciated the deep, thoughtful questions from the audience, the discussion and the one-on-one conversations during the book signing and afterwards. There were tears and hugs as we shared how we overcome our life challenges and use them to become better humans who can make a positive difference in the world.

“Join Maria Leonard Olsen and be transfixed by her compelling and inspiring story. As one of Amazon's best-selling authors, Maria will preview her book "50 After 50: Reframing the Next Chapter of Your Life" and will weave in stories about her fascinating life's journey to date. We're so lucky to have her at Breathe!”

“Welcome to Breathe Body & Mind, a place of wellness where community is both its essence and its priority. Breathe's mission is to be a homestead which fosters physical, mental, social and emotional well being, awareness, fitness, and balance to all who enter.”
