She turned her dreams into plans

cantstocansShe turned her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans. I read this and think of the women who come to our programs. They are no longer willing to focus on all of the things that they haven’t done. They are ready to focus on what they want instead of what they don’t.

I think about quiet Jenny. When she first came to our Leap to Confidence class we could barely hear her, she spoke so softly. She kept her head down and didn’t make much eye contact. On graduation day she proclaimed that she didn’t want to be that quiet person anymore and that she was finished letting other people make decisions for her.

Jenny realized that she was in control of her life. She was ready to say what she wanted out loud. She was ready to turn her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans.

What are you ready for?

Leap to Success

Many women have been taught to shrink themselves, question their instincts, and stay silent. On the IndoctriNation Podcast with Rachel Bernstein, Dana talks with Rachel Bernstein, LMFT about helping women do the opposite: strengthen their voices, establish boundaries, challenge self-doubt, and discover the strength that's been there all along.

This Domestic Awareness Month, take time to listen to this inspiring conversation about confidence, courage, and transformation. Share it with the women you love. 💜🎙️
