This month, I had the opportunity to co-lead a Women’s Empowerment group at a local high school. I stood up next to my mom and together, we guided a thought-provoking conversation between 30 young women who met us with wide eyes and just the faintest bit of discernment. While preparing for the conversation, I found myself viewing empowerment through two different lenses: personal and professional. This dichotomous way of thinking is something we’re hard-wired to do as humans.
