Whether the culture came from your workplace, your family and home life, or social environment because of the country you live in, this doesn’t always have to be your reality. Sure, we’re all guilty of not speaking up at some point or another, but we can certainly agree there are extremes of being a woman forced to silence that exists in the world. Not all forms of extreme are far from home or in third world countries either. Julia Haart joins Lisa to discuss her eye opening experience that led her to a brazen victory far away from cultural and religious oppression that made her feel powerless, frustrated, and insignificant. There is a part of her story each of us can take with us to be more confident, more powerful and more secure in who we are as women.
