Replay: Brooke Warner shares Five Things She's Learned about How Creative Women Thrive
Check out the first five minutes of her recent class.
"Women often get stuck between wanting to be seen and feeling like they should stay small; between knowing they have unlimited potential and being told to wait their turn; between burning with ambitions and desires and feeling that it’s somehow unseemly to feel that burn. In these two hours, we’ll turn over some rocks to look at our assumptions, our conditioning, our self-limiting habits that we need to explode over and over and over again."
