About the event
What if being “good” has been holding us back?
Join us for a transformative evening with Elise Loehnen, New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, as we examine how deeply ingrained cultural expectations of goodness, perfection, and self-sacrifice shape our lives—and how we can choose wholeness instead.
Building on her acclaimed book and her newest workbook Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming the True Self, co-authored with acclaimed coach Courtney Smith, Elise will guide us through powerful self-inquiries and exercises designed to help us identify the stories we’ve inherited about womanhood and success—and begin rewriting them.
Your ticket includes:
A thought-provoking conversation and guided workshop with Elise Loehnen
A copy of Elise’s new workbook Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming the True Self
