Episode 137| The Keys to "Playing Big" with Tara Mohr

Tara Mohr helps women play bigger by sharing their voices and bringing forward their ideas in work and in life. She is the author of Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead where she shares her pioneering model for making the journey from playing small–being held back by fear and self-doubt–to playing big, taking bold action to pursue what you see as your callings.

 

Tara’s work has been super influential in my life. I am honored and grateful to have her as a guest on this podcast. I hope you enjoy as you hear us discuss why we as women play small, the inner-critic training we desperately need, following our callings, and more.
