“It was so impactful for me to hear stories of how other women are navigating challenges and opportunities in their personal and professional lives. In particular, I loved hearing from other mothers as I came to realize I’m not ‘alone’ and that there are tons of kickass ladies who are also learning to manage the ‘chaos’ in their lives.”
