If you like a real-life story that features grit, grace, and a lot of gumption, then you’re in the right place. Get ready to hear some courageous women talk about how pivotal, teachable “ah-ha” moments have reshaped their confidence and delivered opportunities they never imagined. It didnt happen by chance of course. No sir ree. They figured out new, sometimes uncomfortable ways, to put themselves out there in a way that shouts they get it—they are absolutely 100% worth knowing. You’ll hear intimate stories with actionable takeaways and some very secret sauce. Everyone has an important story worth knowing. And you know what? The world needs it, and you deserve it.
