The What in the news ...

The What Summit has made it into the pages of Forbes an C Magazine this month ...

Hello Wonderful. We're hustling here at HQ and feeling a little burnt out. We lost some precious souls this summer including victims of yet more insane gun violence. We mourn these losses while trying to balance responsibilities and conjure optimistic energy as we head into the Fall madness. Earlier this week we invited one of our Summit experts, Jen Partridge, to teach us about Tapping (or EFT: emotional freedom technique), a method that combines physical and psychological healing by tapping pressure points and meridians on one's own body while acknowledging fears and repeating phrases aloud. If you've been in chronic physical or mental pain it's definitely worth trying as it quelled our anxieties and provided much relief and peace. Check out Jen's channel here and watch our interview with her below.  ISSUE #184 IN THE NEWS August 9, 2019 by Gina Pell + Amy Parker   "There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart."   - Celia Thaxter   THE WHAT LIST 100% Editorial picks.

If you like the show Fleabag, you'll love this character.   The Reel.
