We’re excited to welcome keynote speakers, Drs. Emily and Amelia Nagoski, authors of the best-selling book, Burnout: The Secret to Completing the Stress Cycle. Featured on Brené Brown’s podcast, the Nagoski twins show us that women experience burnout differently than men, and they provide a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions, and live a more joyful life.
