Choose to Challenge | Our Life in Chapters - You Hold the Pen with Audra Agen
May is Mental Health Awareness Month Tune into our special edition of Choose to Challenge with LaWanna Bradford as we explore another piece of ensuring that women maintain the balance and perspective, they need to maintain mental health. On Monday, 5/9/22 at 6PM EST, LaWanna and guest Audra Agen will talk about the evolution of our lives as women and what that really means in the greater scheme of our existence, our purpose, and our legacy. The one thing that we know is constant, is change. Unfortunately, when change comes, we often find ourselves resistant and determined to hold fast to the status quo, the comfort of our boxed experiences, and the good old days. We want things to be as Barbara Streisand, so beautifully sang, “the way we were.” Tune into this mental health and life expansion conversation. You may be completing one chapter and staring at the blank pages of the next. In life we face may uncertainties, but when we realize that we have choices and that we hold the pen, we can begin to feel the shift fear to hope. Our life is in chapters, and we can choose how we celebrate each. _________________________________________ Audra Agen is a corporate professional with 25 years’ experience of being one of the few women in the room, and in many cases, the only one. While the women may have been outnumbered, they were all uniquely exceptional. She became fascinated learning more about them and their experiences. It became increasingly clear that these women were contributing significant value to their organizations, families, and careers. Their contributions were either being taken for granted or overlooked, sometimes even by themselves. Audra aspired to change that; from that, Women in the Arena was created. It is a platform unlike any other- it is a celebration. The motto is to celebrate women doing extraordinary things in plain sight. Audra believes that if we start to recognize the value within ourselves, then we can start to acknowledge the value within each other. We start to see that we have more similarities than what appears on the surface. It is that knowledge that begins to change the narrative from “you are my competition” to “you are my best asset. This is life changing and as a result, world changing. This is Audra’s goal, to change the world one interview at a time. #ChoosetoChallenge #mentalhealthmatters #AudraAgen #womeninthearena #TheBradfordGroup #TBG #makingadifference
