WOCN: Conquering Self-Doubt, One Day at a Time!

Wednesday, March 4, 2020, 5:30pm to 7:00pm

Our thoughts often can feel like they are the absolute truth - stopping us from showing up authentically, trying new things, and believing in our abilities despite our achievements. Leveraging narrative identity and practices from psychology, you'll learn about the root of self-doubt, how to deal with self-limiting thoughts, and how to rise above them to reclaim how you show up in the world.
