Forget everything you thought you knew about self-care.
About this Event

Jumpstart your year with Wall Street Journal bestselling author Randi Braun and join us for an energizing afternoon of Busting the Balance Myth.


Together, we’ll unpack the pressure to “have it all" and do it all effortlessly. You'll leave empowered with BS- and buzzword-free strategies for feeling in control of your time and priorities.


A workshop Randi developed because she was so frustrated with the toxicity of the "self-care conversation," you will walk away with:


New definitions of what balance and self‑care actually mean: for women at the highest levels of leadership

Tools that work to move beyond the "BS" around balance: to move into a better quality of life

Tactics for staying agile in times of uncertainty: without burning out in the process


This is a workshop Randi has taken around the country to RAVE REVIEWS, and we're kicking off 2026 by bringing it to New York, with early-bird pricing through the end of the year.


Come ready to refill your cup (with both coffee and energy), and leave feeling seen, heard, and a little less alone in the juggle...Those who want to stay and continue the conversation over some additional networking afterwards are welcome to!

About Randi's book, Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work:


"Pick up this book now! Every woman wants to believe she is on the precipice of something major and this book gives you the tools to get yourself there. Randi Braun has created a fun and practical way forward for women who are looking to channel their inner bad-ass, crack the leadership code, and soar!" - Jen Mormile, Fmr. Chief Business Officer of Condé Nast


She's changing women's lives, one play at a time... Women are natural leaders but they've been taught to play the game by an outdated set of rules. So certified executive coach, Randi Braun, wrote them a new playbook.

In Braun's book, Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work women will discover how to play the leadership game on their own terms and win when it comes to achieving their goals: whether it's cracking the code on your self-doubt by ditching perfectionism, external validation, and the tyranny of your inner critic, or learning new tactics for owning your message (don't miss 16 things she forbids you to say at work). Braun's book provides a fresh take on one of the most tremendous challenges of our time: empowering women at work to chart their own course to the top - dialing up confidence and fulfillment, and dialing down burnout in the process.

In Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work Braun takes the field and re-writes the plays of the game. She is a sought-after thought leader, speaker, and CEO of the women's leadership firm, Something Major. Her book delivers stories for today's women leaders in a conversational style that's packed with sage advice and wildly entertaining.
