  • Empowering Women

    I absolutely loved the Empowering Women in Leadership episode. I have been trying to take on additional leadership roles within my district and this was incredibly helpful in offering me some suggestions as to how to balance between work and home while also maintaining a strong and confident voice.

    Definitely worth the listen. Relatable and honest.
