She has obtained certifications in BoardSource and Group Facilitation to support nonprofit board of directors.\n\n\n\nNotably\, Benson's thought-provoking TEDx talk\, titled "A Crash Course in Learning to Laugh\," has catapulted her into the spotlight as a highly sought-after keynote speaker. Benson's passion for sharing wisdom extends to her writing as well. She is the author of two books that focus on mindfulness and happiness. Her publications\, "Cultivate Your Happiness: Mama-to-Be" and "Cultivating Calmness in Children\," provide practical strategies and insights making happiness obtainable daily.

To date\, more than 750 people have participated in these labs\, gaining hands-on tools to reframe their thoughts\, strengthen relationships\, and spark lasting happiness.
