Welcome to Season 8 of Black Woman Leading, the podcast! This podcast is an extension of the Black Woman Leading programs and events.
In this episode, Laura introduces season eight of the Black Woman Leading podcast, focusing on the theme of 'Leaning Into Joy.' We'll be exploring how to make space and create intentional plans for simple experiences of joy in all areas of our lives (yes, even at work!).
Laura explains how finding time to care for and center our holistic needs (including our needs for peace and joy) are a critical part of our personal development AND our leadership development. And even more than that, it's an act of resistance.
She also shares the season's core questions and highlights from the season's guest experts on a variety of topics to support your development as you learn, heal, and grow in your leadership capacity.
The episode sets the stage for an enlightening season filled with valuable insights and discussions.
