What is a Personal Renewal Group?

In 2003, when her son was six months old, Trudeau began a life-coaching group for mothers to help them reconnect with who they are and focus on their self-care. She called it a "personal renewal group” which over time became known as "PRG." There are now more than 100 of these self-renewal circles for women through the U.S./Canada and more are forming each week. The groups are not just for mothers. Learn more about PRGs here.

What is The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal?

At the request of her Personal Renewal Group members, Trudeau wrote The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal: How to Reclaim, Rejuvenate and Re-balance Your Life. The Guide offers a month-by-month, easy to follow format filled with inspirational themes and stories, powerful exercises, self-guided journaling and themes focused on self-renewal, balanced living and reconnecting with who you are. It offers the perfect balance between thoughtful reflection and practical, effective coaching. The book is written for use in Personal Renewal Groups. The book earned early praise and endorsements from several best-selling authors, including SARK (Wild, Succulent Woman), Richard Carlson (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...) and Jon Gordon (Energy Addict), as well as numerous respected, nationally-known coaches, doctors, therapists and parent educators.

When is the book available?
