	STRESS MANAGEMENT FOR STRESSED-OUT PROFESSIONALS Balancing work and personal life is a constant challenge, whether you are single, living with a partner or spouse, a one parent household, or two parent household. This is a one or two hour program with a unique presentation style. Mickey puts 20 to 30 cartoon drawings on the wall behind her, each representing a stress management topic and tip. Audience members call out which cartoons they want her to explain. High audience involvement, substantive advice. Topics include delegation, focus, responsibility, relationships, communication, teamwork, relaxation, having it all….and many more.
	STRESS-FREE PARENTING Okay, nothing is entirely stress-free. But Mickey gives you tried and proven techniques, guaranteed to reduce the stress in your life and the conflict between you and your kids. The battle for control, avoiding overwhelm, chores without conflict, responsibility, money management, peer pressure, rebellion…and more.
	SURVIVING THE TEENAGE YEARS If your kids are already teenagers, you know you need help NOW. If your kids are not yet teenagers, you need to know what to expect so you can handle it when it comes. Even though they behave like aliens, there is a way to live with teenagers -- even enjoy them. Learn to see their bizarre behavior as entertaining. Lighten up and enjoy these years rather than dreading them. You can even shape their character in a positive way.
	JUST BECAUSE YOUR KIDS ARE GROWN DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN RELAX (For Senior Audiences) A humorous look at the joys and challenges of relating to your grown kids and their kids. College years. Entering the job market. Weddings. House hunting. Grandchildren.
	DIVORCE WITHOUT CASUALTIES: HOW TO END YOUR MARRIAGE WITHOUT WOUNDING YOUR KIDS Divorce is not inherently harmful to kids. What's harmful is the way most parents handle it. Mickey shows you how to take care of your own mental health and then create a positive partnership with the other parent. It is entirely feasible to handle divorce in a way that supports your kids rather than damaging them.

Mickey is one of the few speakers who can give specific advice on dealing effectively with the trauma of divorce in a way that supports kids rather than damaging them. She can also show you how single parents can be model parents and build a fun and fulfilling new life for themselves.

CONFERENCES OR GATHERINGS OF SENIOR AUDIENCES:
Just because your kids are grown doesn't mean you can relax
This is a humorous, light-hearted presentation in which senior audiences will identify with and see the humor in relating to your kids and still trying to guide them even when they are grown. The challenge never ends, but you can keep it in perspective and even enjoy it.
