Own Your Yes is a 12 week mini-series that provides a space for you to  connect with  other women and learn from their journeys. This podcast features successful career women and entrepreneurs who share their struggles and  lessons learned on the path to success.

Each interview highlights female resilience shown despite real  internal and external obstacles - from fear of speaking, to job loss, to  everything in between. We are imperfect, ambitious women - and we're  committed to owning our YES.
