League of Extraordinary Women

Dear Women, Do you think of yourself as extraordinary? You should, because there is extraordinary within us all. There is extraordinary with every hurdle we overcome and every sacrifice we make. These particular hardships, hurdles and sacrifices are what we don’t speak about, yet they are exactly what connect us as women. On this show, we step away from the highlight reel of life and talk to women about their experiences navigating through life as women. We’ll hear about the challenges faced and the lessons learned which helped them recognize their ‘extraordinary’ and in turn help you unlock your ‘extraordinary’ as well. Join us as we embark on a journey inward with our guests and develop a deeper connection with ourselves.
