Champion gymnast turned serial entrepreneur and investor Lisa Carmen Wang empowers women to break free of Good Girl Brainwashing - perfectionism, people-pleasing, permission-asking - to become their most authentic and powerful selves."A woman steps into her full power not when she is finally given permission to do so, but when she realizes she never needed it in the first place."Lisa Carmen Wang was raised to be a good girl, praised for her obedience, politeness, modesty - traits that became the bedrock of her personality. But as she grew up, the never-ending pursuit of being the perfect good girl left her feeling hollow, despite her achievements as a champion gymnast, straight-A student, and Ivy League graduate. Her fears of failure and rejection and her worries about other peoples' opinions held her back from embracing her most authentic and powerful self at work and in life.
