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.
