Brave Women Brunch with Megan Altemus

Join our special guest Megan Altemus for the March Brave Women Brunch on Manifesting and Shadow Work to Achieve and Succeed in Your Life. Instead of relying on other people to support and manage our career and other aspirations, we need to rely on ourselves with self-love, shadow work and some true grit.  So many times we allow other people to make decisions on our end game, and our end game is really up to us.  This discussion allows you to think outside of the box a bit to understand that we are the ones that have control of our destiny and to not allow others to dictate it.
