IBefore you book anyone

Your people are absorbing the public’s worst day, every day.

Your clerks, your dispatchers, your caseworkers and your health department staff take the call nobody else wants and then take the next one.

Most of them are women. Most of them go home and do a second shift of carrying at the kitchen table. Nobody has ever told them that what they absorb at work has a name, a cost and a pattern.

Your wellness budget exists and has to be used. The question is whether it buys another portal login or an hour your staff actually talk about afterward.

Your clerks, your dispatchers and your caseworkers are absorbing the public’s worst day, every day, and calling it Tuesday.

IIThe talks

Four talks, one throughline.

Every talk is rewritten for your room. An all-staff wellness event, a women’s supervisor cohort and a department-specific session each carry this differently, and the talk says so in their language.

01

When caring for others is the job

Caseworkers · dispatch · clerks · public health

Secondary trauma and compassion fatigue for the people who absorb the public’s worst day, every day, and call it Tuesday.

02

The tired that sleep cannot fix

Employee wellness · all-staff · wellness fair

Why the time off never holds, and what is actually being spent that rest alone does not replace.

03

Caring is not carrying

Boundaries · women supervisors · frontline teams

Boundaries for women who were raised to believe that saying no is the same as failing the public they serve.

04

You cannot retain her if she is carrying yours

Department heads · HR · risk management

For the people who lead her. Why your most dependable employee leaves without warning, and what a supervisor can actually do about it.

Formats run from a wellness fair keynote to a multi-session employee wellness series across departments, with participant workbooks and The Glue Woman™ Assessment included for every attendee. Procurement documentation available on request.

IIIWhat changes

What your staff walk out with.

Recognition

Your staff stop performing for the length of the talk. For frontline public employees, an hour where nobody needs anything from them is rare enough to be memorable.

Language

She leaves with words for what she has been absorbing at the counter, on the phone and in the field, and could not name until this morning.

One thing she can do

Not a list, and not another wellness portal. One specific practice, and the reason it is the right one for where she actually is.

A way to keep going

The Glue Woman™ Assessment names which pattern she carries and what to do next, at no cost to her or to the department.

IVWhy her

This is not borrowed material.

Canetha is a Michigan business owner with a physical location in Troy, not a national vendor parachuting in. The framework is her own intellectual property, built and tested over twelve years.

She lived it

She was the woman who held everything together until it cost her. The work began there, not in a library.

She built the framework

The Amour Method™ and its five pillars of holistic wealth: mental, physical, spiritual, relational and financial. Her own intellectual property, not a licensed curriculum.

She built the diagnostic

The Glue Woman™ Assessment names which of six patterns a woman carries and which of five stages she is in. Your attendees can take it the same day, at no cost.

Named an award winner

Winner of the 2025 Emerging Business Award from NAWBO Greater Detroit, the National Association of Women Business Owners.

She has sat on your side of the table

She has served on a municipal Downtown Development Authority and a Board of Zoning Appeals, and on the board of Connect Macomb. She understands public meetings, budget cycles and public comment from the inside.

Recognised across the aisle

A Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from U.S. Representative John James, and a State of Michigan Special Tribute signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II. The City of Troy welcomed Amour Women™ by proclamation of the Mayor and the full City Council.

A limited number of dates each year are reserved for Schools, Churches, and Nonprofit Organizations.

From the room
“It was NOT what I expected, in the best way. I thought it would just be slides and a basic presentation, but it was hands-on and full of gems… Huge thanks to Canetha, Dr. Carmen, SP Grace, and the City of Detroit for putting on such an amazing workshop.”
Kenia Sims
