The Heroine's Salon

​The Woman You're Becoming vs. The Woman You Were Raised to Be

​Tell us about the moment you realized you weren't who everyone expected you to be. The threshold where the "good woman" performance cracked and something truer started emerging.

​How It Works:

• ​First 30 minutes: Panel discussion with 4 featured essay contributors (streamed free on YouTube)

• ​Next 60 minutes: Intimate salon conversation where everyone participates

​This isn't a networking event or a support group. It's an intimate salon where women gather for real conversation.
