Woman Lessons
How to BE and RAISE a truly confident woman.
This podcast was inspired by my daughter Quinn, who asked me when she was 9 yo “Mom, can we do woman lessons?” It allowed me to reflect and ask myself what type of woman am I modeling for her to follow?
In today's world, women face a constant battle with comparison and self criticism. 90% of women don’t love their bodies. 46% of woman have criticized themselves once before 9:30. This is not ok, this is not something I want to model for my daughter nor have any other woman struggle with-this takes away our power.
Woman Lessons is designed to leave you feeling empowered and we will explore ways that together as women, we can learn to look inward and upward for our validation- because that is where true confidence is found.
You will learn to love yourself and lean on god, so you can confidently raise the next generation of leaders.
In this podcast you will hear from high-performing women on how to silence the self-critic, balance all your roles as a woman, the lessons they learned the hard way, and how they are living in their potential today, so you can do the same!
You will leave knowing who you are, having a greater confidence in your divine calling as a mother and find more self-compassion as a high performing woman.
Welcome to woman lessons.
