Lena is a transformational speaker and educator who helps individuals and audiences understand how early experiences shape the way we see ourselves, respond to life, and relate to others.
We all carry younger versions of ourselves into our adult relationships. The experiences and beliefs we formed early in life can shape how we respond to conflict, seek approval, protect ourselves, and experience love.
In this engaging and practical presentation, Lena Khavinson introduces the RELOVED Way approach to understanding these patterns and recognizing how our past influences the way we relate today.
Through relatable examples, personal insights, guided reflection, and experiential exercises, participants will explore how early experiences shape their beliefs, emotional reactions, and relationship patterns.
Audience will discover how learning to care for their younger selves can create new possibilities for how they show up with partners, children, colleagues, and themselves.
