“Why Are Women So Hard On Themselves?” Are you tired of beating yourself up? Most women assume that harsh inner voice is just part of who they are. It isn't. As Dr. Holmberg explains, it's a deeply rooted survival mechanism that can be changed. In Unkind Mind, she offers a science-based path to quiet your inner critic, silence negativity, stop constant comparison, and replace self-criticism with confidence, courage, and self-compassion.
$30 includes talk, book, wine &amp; charcuterie.
