It's been so wonderful to see these workshops happen, from the musings of an idea I had over a year ago to showcase some of our talented Ambitious Women to share their expertise with you. Huge thanks to Anastasia and also Chantelle Dyson and Carla Watkins our other course leaders for such engaging sessions and to Bry B. for all your hard work in bringing the idea to life.
