Unmute Yourself

Because your inner critic has had the mic long enough.

You’ve got goals, ideas, and a powerful voice—but sometimes that voice gets drowned out by doubts, distractions, or the pressure to do it all perfectly. This bold session invites women to quiet the critic, question the script, and step fully into their power. It’s not about toxic positivity—it’s about asking better questions of ourselves so we can show up unapologetically, lead with clarity, and own what’s next.

  • Recognize and rewrite the mental scripts that keep you playing small
  • Use optimism as a power tool—not a personality trait
  • Ask better questions to make braver moves in work, life, and leadership

Through the lens of storytelling, humor, and Emotional Intelligence, we’ll explore how to rewrite the narrative that no longer serves—and step into a future that’s defined on your terms.

  • Uncover the hidden impact of your old stories—and learn to reframe them with power and humor
  • Use Emotional Intelligence tools to ditch perfection and reclaim possibility
