producing a podcast and got advice. Then, I made a list of the women I wanted to interview and started reaching out with invites.

How it has all unfolded is entirely different than my “plan.” More than that, the effect it has had on me has been profound...and I totally didn't see that coming.

On a Thursday afternoon around 4:30, I informally reached out to the first dozen women I wanted to talk with. I figured everyone is busy with full schedules and I'd hear from some of them over the next week or so, and some wouldn't be able to participate.

We help inspire, encourage, and support each other to move toward personal wellness and to create lives that nourish us. I believe this movement is what will break through the culture of competition and bullying that
