Globinar Women in Global Leadership
The Strong Woman Trap: Redefining Resilience, Success & Balance
 
Being the strong woman who handles everything can look like success from the outside. But what happens when resilience becomes an expectation, balance feels impossible, and recovery is always postponed?
 
Join Cathy Sands and Alyssa Simpson for a candid conversation exploring the Strong Woman Trap and what it means to redefine resilience, success, and balance. Together, they'll challenge familiar narratives around strength, examine the hidden costs of constantly pushing through, and open the door to a more sustainable way of succeeding.
 
Grab your coffee, settle in, and get ready to engage. This is about leveraging our collective brilliance to help each other scale.
