To kick off a new season, I’m joined by one of my personal heroes, Elizabeth Lesser as we dive into the power of women's storytelling and the modern woman's fight for agency. In this episode, Elizabeth delves into her book "Cassandra Speaks," the #MeToo movement, and her own journey toward claiming her power. We discuss the fear of being disliked for speaking up and the importance of being true to oneself, even if it means making waves and ruffling some feathers. Elizabeth shares the lessons she learned from Brené Brown about the difference between being nice and being kind, and why being clear and upfront is often the most compassionate choice. Get ready to be inspired by Elizabeth's wisdom and experiences as a woman leader, author, and activist.
