Women in the Lead: Mind Over Matter

Written by Lebanon Wilson Chamber Marketing on . Posted in Chamber Blog, Chamber Key Events.

Yesterday’s Women in the Lead Lunch & Learn was nothing short of inspiring! This year’s theme, Resilience, continues to spark meaningful conversations. This month, we focused on “Mind Over Matter: Cultivating a Resilient Mindset for Physical Resilience.”

We had the pleasure of hearing from guest speaker Janet McCutchen, who brought decades of experience and insight to the table. Janet guided us through the connection between mental resilience and physical well-being, beginning at the root: the human brain. She helped us understand how our minds respond to stress and trauma, and how those patterns shape our thoughts, conversations and overall health.

Guests gained practical strategies for navigating negative thinking, and learned the importance of prioritizing mental wellness through community. Janet’s deep understanding of emotional health — ranging from depression and anxiety to relationships, grief, and life transitions — made this session both enlightening and empowering.

Women in the Lead is a Lunch & Learn series by the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce that covers topics related to health & wellness, finances, and balancing home & work life. We encourage women to grow as a professionals & connect with like-minded women.

Our next Women in the Lead event will be held Thursday, August 7. Stay tuned for a special announcement!

This past Sunday, December 1, the City of Lebanon, TN – Government and the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce came together to host Lebanon’s 2024 Christmas Parade: Toys Through the Ages — and what a celebration it was!

In honor of the Chamber’s 100th Anniversary, we proudly recognized two Charter Members, Cumberland University and the Lebanon Democrat, as this year’s Grand Marshals. Their century-long dedication to the Chamber and our community is an inspiration. The Grand Marshall Float was sponsored by Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital. From classic toys to modern favorites, the creativity on display throughout the parade was amazing!

Thank you to Bob Zenker & the Chamber’s Special Events Division for working tirelessly to coordinate the parade. We want to thank everyone who helped make this event memorable: volunteers, participants, and, of course, the spectators who filled the streets with holiday spirit!
