This offering is dedicated to the powerful women and their inner little girl that protects their hope, vision, and desire to play. The pandemic triggered an existential reality; I realized my business for women’s leadership might not survive. The potential loss of leaving behind a 25-year international career to create my business was shattering. Quarantined and alone in New York City – I faced fears of the unknown. A special note of gratitude for each person involved in this video; each played a significant role in my healing journey. A reminder – trauma needs a tribe, and wholeness comes from us standing together.
