How many times have you said “yes” when you really meant “I’m overwhelmed”?

Join WELD for the next Tell It Like It Is Thursday® session: The Buffet Plate Problem: Why We Say Yes to Everything featuring Brenda Winkle, trauma-informed somatic coach, intuitive leadership mentor, and host of the Top 5% podcast Your Yes Filled Life.

As part of the 2026 WELD theme, “The Evolution of Leadership & Mentorship: Leading in the 21st Century Post-COVID Era,” this session explores how leadership has shifted in a world of constant change and how women can make aligned decisions without losing themselves in the process.

Participants will walk away with tools to better recognize relational pressure, navigate overcommitment, and evaluate opportunities with more clarity and confidence.
