She Knows the Way

Lara Dalchlaradalch.com
She Knows the Way (previously Women on the Rise) is a show about deciding what’s next when doing what’s expected no longer feels right. Through conversations with women at all stages of life and career, host Lara Dalch explores when and how we forge our own path. What we compromise, whether we’re on a new path or an old one. And how we can rewire ourselves to stay awake to our dreams even when it means doing the unexpected. These conversations will soothe, delight, and guide you towards finding your own answer to the question “What’s next for me?” If you’ve always followed the script and suddenly find yourself without one, this show is for you.
