S2 Bonus 03: Don’t Get Discouraged

We are taking some time off here at the Genius Womxn podcast and we will be returning with new Season 3 episodes for you in June. Until then, I'm sharing with you a few conversations that we regularly have in The Circle, our membership for womxn on the creative path.

In this week's bonus episode, I'm sharing with you a poignant conversation we recently had with our Circle member and now a published writer, Hannah Foster-Roe.

We discussed her recent win, a published article with Matador Network, the fundamentals of building our portfolio, and the voices that we sometimes need to ignore to do this work.

Enrollment in our membership is ongoing and this June we are putting together our first-ever Genius Womxn virtual one-day retreat for our Circle members.

In this one-day virtual retreat, we’ll focus on strategies to help us craft our dream creative life (like reimagining our impostor syndrome and creating focus and intention in our work). We’ll have an amazing guest speaker, a New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure travel journalist Michaela Trimble join us who’ll run a session on tapping into our divine femininity. We’ll also work in small groups in breakout sessions and brainstorm ideas to support each other’s work. The retreat is happening on Saturday, Jun 5 and it’s open to our Circle members only. Get more info about the retreat here.

So if you’ve been thinking about joining us, now would be a really good time to do that so you can participate in the retreat! Get more information about our membership and how to join here.
