In Purse-suit of Superwoman
Deb DiSandro
Are you feeling “slightly off”?
Are you flying around doing everything for everybody else?
Feel as if your superpowers are kaput?
Have no fear — Author and Humorist, Deb DiSandro, is here!
After years of searching for the real Superwoman, Deb discovered the secret lies in your purse. Whether it’s some Life Savers candy, a lint brush, or a salami sandwich, a real Superwoman always saves the day. As the leading expert in the field of Purseology™, Deb has made it her mission to study women and their purses. Her insightful look at the roles women play, and the many purses they carry along the way, will give you insights into your own personal and professional life.
Drawing a parallel between women’s purses and the “baggage” of responsibilities, burdens, and worries they carry, Deb shows women how to lighten the load in their purses and in their lives. In this fun and inspirational program, Deb will help you discover the superhero within. She will show you simple ways to soar above the stress and to power up more joy so that you can experience more health and well-being every day.
Get ready to laugh, learn, and leave with some simple tools for an uplifting life!
