The What - Real Talk

Finding support starts with real talk ...

Hello Wonderful. Sixty-three more days until The What Summit. We're obsessed. Yes. And, for those who can't make it we're also going to do something special for you. We're working on a digital gift bag and other groovy summit lead-ups to give you a robust sampler of what we've been working on. Last week we featured TW Summit Presenter, Jen Partridge, a tapping/EFT expert who led us on a physiological and psychological journey that greatly reduced our stress. Tap with us here. This week we talk to our friend and entrepreneur, Michele Gough Baril, about finding sanity and a support system during start-up mode. If you are going through a challenging time or struggling to find answers to tricky problems, join us on TWW, our private Fb group. The wisdom of 30,000 sympathetic, savvy women awaits. ISSUE #185 REAL TALK August 15, 2019 by Gina Pell + Amy Parker   "You wanna fly? You gotta give up the shit that weighs you down."   - Toni Morrison   THE WHAT LIST 100% Editorial picks. No pay for play. Ever.   The Drive.   One morning we woke up feeling sorry for ourselves over some minor aches and pains then we read this story on CNN Health: This college dropout was bedridden for 11 years. Then he invented a surgery and cured himself.     The Book.   Just started Nell Freudenberger's Lost And Wanted. Particle physics, a glamorous ghost, and great writing. Right up our alley. A promising contender for our Best of 2019 List.   The Balm. We attempted to ignore the sleek, egg-shaped La Crème Main and balked at the thought of wasting money on Chanel hand cream. But, then we sampled this delicious-smelling velvety balm and broke down. We're almost sorry to tell you about it.   The Sweeps.   Summer might be winding down but our friends at Ozma, St. Agni, Janessa Leone, Ceremony, Hotel Joaquin, and Wonder Valley are gearing up to give away a total of $2k worth of gorgeous gifts (apparel, jewelry, hotel stay, beauty). These are all quality companies we support. Check them out and Enter here. Winner announced on 8.24.
