Sunday Salon: Balancing Ambition & Wellness

Ambition and wellness are often framed as competing priorities, but they don’t have to be. Together, we’ll explore what it means to pursue ambition in a way that’s sustainable - not just successful.
Join The Penelope Network and cityWell brooklyn for a panel bringing together women across generations in the health & wellness space to discuss how ambition evolves throughout seasons of life and what it looks like to build meaningful careers while staying connected to your health, energy, and sense of balance.
Before the panel, there will be time to connect in a relaxed, welcoming setting designed to make conversation feel natural and easy.
