September 11, 2025

Join us for an energizing kickoff session that flips the script on boundaries and self-care. Forget the guilt around saying "no" and the myth that self-care means manicures and bubble baths.

In this interactive session, discover how strategic boundaries and authentic self-care become your superpowers for professional success. We'll explore practical strategies to protect your energy, prioritize what matters, and show up fully for the relationships and opportunities that define your career.

Leave with tools to confidently say yes to what matters most - including your FWIT community - while saying no to what doesn't serve your goals. This isn't about doing less; it's about doing what matters with intention and energy.

Come ready to connect, reflect, and get excited about the year ahead!
