Useful perspectives from different cultures!
I’m totally biased (being the host of these conversations) but am so grateful to all of the women that spoke to me about how they are holding money, parenting, health, responsibilities and fun in their particular sphere of industry and culture and time to give us ideas, support and permission. It’s amazing that we can have the conversations across the globe with each other and share them with the world!
