Join WIPN DC on Friday, April 26th at 10am until 5pm for a Professional Empowerment Retreat facilitated by Shannon Williams, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the CEO & Founder of the group psychotherapy practice, Rising Anchor Therapy. Lunch will be provided and the retreat will be followed by happy hour.

Our Goals

1. Build community and connection with an emphasis on self care and support
2. Set boundaries to bridge the gap between your identity at work and home
3. Battle imposter syndrome, perfectionism & set manageable expectations
4. Balance decision fatigue & the mental load of womanhood

Discussion Sessions

I. The Myth of Superwoman: Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, & Expectations
How does your professional persona align with your authentic self? Are your
expectations realistic and achievable? Can you give 100% all the time?

II. The Mental Load of Womanhood
Are you aware of how much mental energy goes into each decision you are tasked
with day to day? Are you contributing to a culture of decision freeze? What
boundaries do you have in place to maintain work/life balance?
