Women are the leaders the Dalai Lama has said will lead us to a better world. But here's the catch--it won't be through leadership as we know it, nor through power as you've been taught. Women's power is a "both-and" form of power and requires a woman to have an intimacy with her grace grit and graitude as a woman. Tune into this session to learn what you were not taught about exercising your power as a woman and how power is commonly exercised is not a wise choice for women. Learn how power for women is an inside job, one which requires her to be intimate with her soul and spirit as a woman.

Women today are expected to do it all, be it all. And while that may work when you are young or healthy or inspired, what happens when you get overwhelmed, or discouraged, or need some help yourself? Many women simply keep over-riding their own needs to keep up with the tasks of their roles and their jobs, which serves only to deplete their health and their spirit.  If your spirit has gone AWOL, tune into today's show and learn how you can call back your best support for the many roles and responsibilities you have today as a woman. Learn how calling upon your spirit will lessen your feelings of overwhelm and helplessness for meeting the changes and challenges of the roles and responsibilities you have in your life.
