SUMMARY:WLN Podcast Party: Mindset & Motivation
DESCRIPTION:Start the new year off with the right mindset and motivation to be successful by joining the Women’s Laundry Network podcast listening party. We will listen to the TedTalk  below by Frederik Imbo as a group and then discuss our thoughts and how we will implement. \n\n\n\nHow to Not Take Things Personally \n\n\n\nThis TedTalk will break down why other people’s hurtful comments have often little to do with you… and everything to do with what’s happening inside the other person. We’ll explore the principles that help you stay grounded\, protect your energy\, and respond with clarity rather than emotion. \n\n\n\nCome prepared to take notes and share your “aha” moments. \n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\n\nMembers & Non- members: FREE \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
