Description

Trellis Supportive Care (formerly Hospice & Palliative CareCenter) is excited to host the sixth annual Living Your Best Life Speaker Series Trellis Supportive Care (formerly Hospice & Palliative CareCenter) is excited to host the sixth annual Living Your Best Life Speaker Series on October 13, 2021, in Winston-Salem. This year we are excited to host Celeste Headlee, author of Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving. Headlee believes instead of thinking “time is money,” it’s time for us to spend our time on things that actually matter and make us happy. She says, “Despite our constant search for new ways to optimize our bodies and minds for peak performance, human beings are working more instead of less, living harder not smarter, and becoming more lonely and anxious. We strive for the absolute best in every aspect of our lives, ignoring what we do well naturally and reaching for a bar that keeps rising higher and higher. Why do we measure our time in terms of efficiency instead of meaning? Why can’t we just take a break?” ABOUT OUR SPEAKER Celeste Headlee is an award-winning journalist, professional speaker, and the bestselling author of We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter and Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving.

The mission of the series is to provide “an acclaimed, proven speaker that will bring to life subjects consistent with the theme of the series, a message that if followed, will bring about a life-changing experience." In the 40 years since our founding, we’ve been providing kind and compassionate care to communities throughout the Piedmont. Trellis Supportive Care, North Carolina's original hospice and palliative care provider, is comfortable, accessible and comprehensive to address any need that arises. Anyone, including family and friends, can make a referral. And, since there’s no cost to the patient, you or your loved ones can always benefit from any of our services. We also provide help long before hospice is required, which usually translates to less discomfort or pain.
