Speaker Spotlight: Lori Kirstein

The Missing Success Code: Changing the Game for Womanpreneurs

Lori Kirstein, founder of The Goodbye Good Girl Project, is calling out the biggest lie women in business have been taught — that success requires grinding, pushing, and hustling our way there.

Through her Womanpreneurs’ Success Code, Lori reveals how deeply we’ve been shaped by invisible “corporate rules” that suppress our feminine strengths — and how to finally break free of them.

In her talk, she’ll show you how to:

• Identify the old conditioning that’s been running your business (and your burnout)
• Reclaim your natural creative rhythm and intuition as your real business superpowers
• Lead your business like a living, breathing creation — not another machine to maintain

This is for the women who are done following broken formulas and ready to build from alignment, not exhaustion.

If you’ve been wondering why doing “all the right things” still doesn’t feel right — this conversation will change everything.

What part of your business feels out of alignment right now?
