Lauren has been active her entire life. Some of her earliest memories are playing outdoors, enjoying nature, and fresh air. In high school, Lauren
was an athlete and it was in college when she discovered her love for running. Yoga came later on in her life. While working in Corporate America, and going to school at night earning her MBA, she hit her first bout of burnout, Soon after, she found her way into a yoga class.
Her first class was an experience she said she will never forget, and knew instantly that the practice was something she was supposed to end up sharing. She began regularly practicing in Boston, MA, and was able to manage her anxiety, noticed an overall increased sense of happiness and gratitude, and she was better able to end the space between stimulus and response.
Soon after her first class, she set out on a journey to learn to teach and share this practice with as many people as she could. The practice done by yoga goers taught her so much more than physical flexibility.

35-year old pharmacist Marisabelle Bonicci hails from Malta. Academically and
professionally, she was always a high achiever. She lived in Paris and Groningen,
and the Netherlands where she worked and studied.
Marisabelle was also the president of the European pharmacy students association
between 2008 and 2009. She represented 35,000 students at the time. She also owned
a pharmacy between Jan 2013 - Dec 2018.
Her biggest struggle was her weight and self-esteem. As a child, she was severely
bullied at school as she was always bigger and taller than other girls. She had girls
take her to the bathroom and make her throw up so that she would lose weight.
She never managed to throw up but the frustration made her binge.
As she grew older, this issue kept increasing as she dealt with stress by binge eating.
In 2017, she hit 150kg (330 lbs). She had a client come into the pharmacy and tried his
blood pressure and sugar. She gave him advice on a healthy lifestyle but did not say
anything. She remembers the look in his eyes which said - "you are helping me but you
are not helping yourself?"
Marisabelle went home and vowed she would change her life. She went on a diet and
lost 18kg in 3 months but something happened again. She got triggered and binged again.
Then she realized that she needed to figure this out. She knew what was happening was
not about the food, but her relationship with food. She used it as a coping mechanism and
no diet was ever going to change that.
Later on, she sold her pharmacy, worked with a coach who helped her, and now started
studying eating disorders and helping others.

Menjie Boudur received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of California, San Diego and furthered my education with a master's degree in psychology from Pepperdine’s University and a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology. She's a licensed psychologist in the state of CA. She specifically uses the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model (CBT) that looks at how our thoughts affect our emotions, which affect our behaviors. Therefore, one of the main focuses of CBT is to uncover underlying thoughts, attitudes and belief systems you may have that are unhealthy, negative or rigid. Once we identify these unhealthy thought patterns our goal is to find ways to challenge and reframe them. In addition to addressing your thoughts, we also explore behavioral changes to support your new way of thinking and at times use these action goals to challenge your thoughts. You will learn practical tools to apply to your everyday stressors to get new and better results.

As women entrepreneurs, a.k.a. Superwomen, we are very special. We come up with fantastic ideas for how to make this world a better place. We have a vision, and this inner drive to do something about it. We launch our businesses and we work like maniacs on a mission…
There are so many things to handle. Often times, we figure things out as we go. But sometimes we feel like it’s all scattered, and we don’t know what would tie all of the pieces together…
Preparing for another event about the topic of love and connection, I thought it would be a great opportunity to chat with one of the speakers, Jennifer Haddad-Bell.

Two years ago she made a transition into a new career as a personal chef and cooking instructor after her own health lead her down a path of finding healing herself through nutrition. Now combining sex and health education with nutrition, she offers a way we can heal our soul and our libido simply by the foods we eat.
Intuition... is that a thing? I mean do you really believe there is such a thing as a compass, a hunch or a spiritual guide. I know that in my experience, when I trust my gut, it's usually right.
I always knew that women had that ability, at least that's what my mom said, but do you know that really we all have it and if we can strengthen our belief and openness to that knowing, we could do so much more in our life.
I am excited for you to meet Yuson Shin. She is a life coach and healer with special emphasis on the intuitive arts.
There are a million reasons why you would find yourself hustling. I remember losing my job and the economy was so bad I had to figure it out for a short time. Most people I know can relate. I just met a woman that had her doctorate in Pharmacy. The area she lived in became over saturated with pharmacy graduates without many jobs for them and over 100 of them got laid off. When we met her, she was in her late 50's driving Uber. Not her dream job but necessary at the time. So, what can you do?
My guest, Michelle Warnica had a similar experience. After years in Corporate America with great positions and success, she found herself laid off and not able to find a job. It seemed to her that her skills were no longer marketable. So it was time to hustle.
Think about this. You worked hard. Became a doctor. And an MBA. Top Schools. Top position at an amazing hospital.... and you still are not happy. What do you do.... you go work at Starbucks.
There were a few stops along the way that you wouldn't believe. Seriously... I love this girl. You gotta watch her story and see how she overcame losing it all, overcoming addiction and finding what she was always called to do. And... how you can find your thing too.
