Does the Idea of a Circle of Women Make You Cringe?

Does the prospect of being in a workshop with a circle of women, most of whom you’ve just met, make you cringe? Does it actually scare you? If yes, I get it.

Taking A Stand As An Act of Leadership

I have been immersed in the Feminine Power Advanced Trainings since last June and it has been a transformative experience for me personally and professionally. As the trainings wind up and a 9 month practicum begins I am starting to integrate more and more what I have learned recently with what I knew “before”. It’s really fun – I love connecting dots and seeing what ideas I can come up with that really excite me and lead me to support others in more powerful ways.

Highlights from "Overwhelmed: Work Love and Play When No One Has The Time" by Brigid Schulte

Disconnected!

This post is about noticing disconnect and encouraging vulnerability. By "disconnected", I am referring to a situation in which our perception of ourselves is very different from how others see us.
