• I live in Africa/Turkey/China (any country outside of the US) and many of the sessions are during the middle of the night.

  We understand that women joining us are located all around the world. That's why we created the schedule the way we did! The idea is to look at all that is offered during your waking hours - there should be 6-8 hours of content available each day no matter what time zone you are in! Sessions will also be recorded so you can come back and view the session if you were unable to participate live. Please see the video below for more explanation of the schedule and how it is built to work for you.Popular
