Thriving Thru the Shit
Are you ready to thrive thru the shit you face every day at work vs just surviving it? Have you felt on an island just because you are a woman in business? Do you find yourself just wishing you could find someone to relate with? You are NOT alone! I felt the same way and it caused me to quit a 23-year career and inspired me to create this community of amazing women working together to help each other. We are not complaining or whining, we are just solving problems. Our discussions will be real and explore the good, bad and ugly. We will leave the corporate speak at the office and have honest and vulnerable conversations. Together we will thrive even through the shittiest shit!
