Saskia Shakin on What Sex and Public Speaking Have in Common

Last year during the WISH Summit, I received such tremendously supportive and inspiring emails from this dear woman! I had no idea at the time that I would so grow to love her and her message and invite her to join our WISH summit this year.

If you’ve ever wanted to get your voice out to the world, but wondered how, this call will help you do it! (Make sure you’re registered for WISH to access the call.)

When surveyed and asked to share their top fears, women invariably put the fear of public speaking at the top of their lists. Now why is it that sharing our thoughts, ideas, and voices in front of a group of people makes us clam up and shut down?

And how can we overcome this fear to get our message out there and inspire the world in a powerful way?

In a social climate where it’s become easy to hide behind emails and twitter status updates, we felt it was important to invite one of the world’s best public speaking coaches, Saskia Shakin, to help us understand that the secret to inspired speaking and powerful communication is about a lot more than words can say.

Here are a few of the questions I asked her in this call: Read more »

Daniel Aaron Inspires the Women of WISH to Stop Sucking in Their Stomachs and Get Over Themselves

Believe me when I tell you that Bali’s most loved yogi, Daniel Aaron, inspires the women of WISH (in the most loving way possible) to stop worrying about their bodies–to breathe, to move and to embrace complete self-acceptance. To access this call, and all the calls, register for the FREE WISH summit on any of our pages.

When you look down at the layer of pudge around your gut, when your thick thighs rub and you strut your stuff with that scrumptious dimpled rump,

How do you feel?

It’s not about trying to fit into a size 5 skirt or getting your skin to match some anti-aging cosmetic ad. It’s about making a decision to live in alignment with the greatest vision of the grandest life you can possibly imagine. It’s about a commitment to make choices and take actions that support you and your vision.

When you do that, no dimpled rump or pudgy gut will ever knock you down. And from the sweet space of loving yourself, there will only be  one question to ask yourself.

How good can it get?

Way on the other side of the world from where I am, amidst rice paddies and coconut palms, is a man who has committed his life to answering that very question. Daniel Aaron is here with us now all the way from Bali to help you get a taste of what it means to be radiantly alive.

Donna Gates Conquers Candida & Puts Women’s Health Into Perspective

This call was nothing short of Earth-shattering for me. What she says at the end of this call left me literally speechless. I’ve been at this health and wellness things for a while and I have to say this call really shot things up into a whole new stratosphere for me! If you want to make sure you’re signed up to listen, just register for the WISH Summit in any of the lovely boxes you’ll find on this site and enjoy! The fun starts March 8th (International Women’s Day).

Deep in your body there’s a delicate chemical balance required in order for you to thrive, to think clearly, to stay youthful and healthy. This delicate balance is what enables you to assimilate the nutrients in your food and digest your meals without bloating, pain, discomfort or distress.

But take a walk in your local shopping mall and you’ll see that we’re faced with an epidemic of obesity, autism, depression and hormonal imbalance. These wrinkle-prone and weary bodies we’re carrying around offer all the proof we need that  this delicate internal balance is now completely out of whack.

How did this happen?  What are the consequences we face because our internal ecosystem is crisis? What is this doing to our health, our energy and our attitude toward life? And more importantly, what can we do to bring our delicate internal ecosystem back to health, so that we can live life feeling empowered, positive, healthful and youthful for a very long time?

Joining our WISH Summit to answer these questions and guide you in your journey to better health is the author of the Body Ecology Diet, and a true leader in the arena of women’s health, Donna Gates. Read more »

How WISH Grew Wings: The Story of a Woman Whose Belief in Me Made WISH Possible

One of the things that happens a lot during the Women’s International Summit for Health, is story telling. You’ve heard fabulous stories that lift and inspire you, and there are many more to come.

But now it’s my turn.

I’d like to tell you a little story. The story of how WISH grew wings. Believe it or not, there was a time when even WISH was just an idea. And one that even I wasn’t completely convinced I could bring into the world.

Once upon a time, there was a fiery redhead with a big idea.

I wanted to create an event for women called, “Women’s International Summit for Health.” (I’m a bit of a sucker for a good acronym, and this one was more than good. It was GREAT!) I wanted something that could touch the lives of millions of women in a powerful way–something that would bring them the answers they were looking for.

I walked the streets and saw so many women suffering with things I knew they could overcome, if only they had the information.

But in the early stages, it was just an idea, and even I questioned sometimes whether or not I would really do it. We’ve said this so many times in this summit already, sometimes it is not our own belief, but someone else’s belief in us that inspires us to bring our dreams and visions into being.

There were a few people who were so convinced in the possibility of what it could be, that they got me motivated to take action and make it happen.  Jimmy, our web dood, said it gave him “tingles”. Another marketing friend said it was a fabulous idea.

But there was one woman whose belief in the project was so convincing, so fearless and committed that she agreed to work  beside me to help make it happen. It is thanks to her belief in my vision that WISH finally grew wings. Read more »

Brian Johnson Helps the Women of WISH Get Their Attention off the Bling and Back on Their Bliss

When you think of a philosopher, the image of a long, white beard, dusty books and big words may come to mind. But in a day and age of 140 character attention spans, wisdom’s got to come in a catchier package for most of us to “get it.”
