On Our Terms: Redefining Success for Ourselves

We live in a world that often tells us what success should look like—status, wealth, hustle, achievement. But do these definitions truly align with who we are? Are they serving us, or are they keeping us stuck?

Join Ladies, Wine & Design Spokane and Live Your Best Business for an evening of deep conversation, reflection, and unlearning. Together, we’ll explore:

✨ How society defines success vs. how you define it
✨ The ways gender influences cultural expectations of success
✨ How to break free from outdated mindsets and step into your own sovereign authority

We’ll close with a Success Embodiment Meditation, designed to help you connect with your most successful self—free from comparison, free from expectation.

This is a space to think critically, share openly, and redefine success on your terms. If it’s right for you, it’s right for you.
