Show Notes
I am SO excited in this episode to speak to Tara Mohr, an expert in women’s leadership and well-being, and an author, educator and certified coach. Her book, Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create and Lead, is one of my favourite books, and I am constantly recommending it to people.
It provides real, practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, “unhook” from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive "good girl" habits, and begin taking bold action.
In this episode, Tara explains what she means by "playing big", and sheds light on why being more loyal to our dreams than our fears can shift our life's trajectory.
We tackle the pervasive influence of the inner critic, debunk myths around imposter syndrome, and offer practical strategies to harness the wisdom of our inner mentor...and much more.
