Kathryn Lee-Ryder is expanding BreakingFREE.ca into two new workshop series entitled Breaking Fear and Standing Strong. Life can be a series of struggles, twists and turns that often lead to devastating experiences. When presented with any such circumstance every individual faces two choices. One is to summon the strength and courage to thrive while the other is to forever remain in the suffering.

It is Lee-Ryder's goal to be one of many avenues where people can find the knowledge and tools they need to seek a new beginning in their life. One of the first steps into a new life is facing fear. With our current economic times, the unemployed can become worried and fearful of their future. The mere thought of change can cause bouts of anxiety. For an endless variety of other reasons, some may find themselves feeling "stuck in a rut" while others may be experiencing feelings of helplessness or panic.

The Breaking Fear workshop series can help anyone realize potential they never knew existed. This is where they can learn how to break their own barriers to success.

The Standing Strong workshop series is a must for anyone wondering why someone else's needs and demands always take precedence over their own.
