Beyond Expectations: Break Free and Rediscover Yourself
We congratulate ourselves when we resist the office breakroom donut, celebrate our restraint when we avoid sending an angry email, and feel virtuous when we wake up at dawn to get a jump on the day. We often put others’ needs ahead of our own, believing it makes us exemplary. Like many women, journalist Elise Loehnen spent most of her life trying to be “good” by adhering to the cultural norms imposed on women. This session will explore how women have internalized and reinforced these ancient rules. By sharing her own story, Loehnen will reveal ways to break free, rediscover integrity, prioritize yourself, and achieve balance and wholeness.
