If you have been listening to the Powerhouse Women podcast for a while, you've probably heard me talk about our

0:06.2

expanders retreat. Expanders is a community within the Powerhouse Women community for businesses that are

0:13.0

already doing six or seven figures per year. And these are women who know they're ready to go to the next level

0:19.1

and are craving that like-minded community

0:21.6

of others who really get them. You know, when you reach a certain level of success, it can start

0:26.5

to feel like there are fewer people you can unapologetically share your successes and your

tell you, the women who are already applying and who we've accepted into this year's fall retreat

1:29.4

This is going to be such an expansive room.

1:31.5

The connections go far beyond our time together over these three days.

1:36.6

And I've personally seen what happens to the women who've put themselves in this room and leave expanded. It's also an experience that
