About this Event
What if the permission you've been waiting for was never coming?
This is not a conference. It is not a seminar. It is an evening designed for women who are serious about how they lead: their teams, their businesses, and themselves.
Join Dr. Kristin Morris and a curated group of powerhouse women for an evening of honest conversation, practical frameworks, and genuine connection. You'll hear what it actually takes to perform without burning out, then open it up for real questions, and close the night surrounded by women who have stopped waiting and built something real instead.
Come ready to connect. Leave with something you can use the next morning.
