You are going to LOVE the conversation with the Wiser women. Women working together to make the world a better place, one positive statement at a time! You can support Womaze by accessing https://ifundwomen.com/projects/womaze starting 3/24/19. Together, we CAN change the world!

The Women Behind Womaze
Womaze was created by three sisters — Rebecca, Leah, and Hannah Wiser, and their mom
Corin. The Wiser Women are on a mission to democratize wisdom and build a sisterhood of
empowered females who are ready to change the world.
Corin Wiser, M.Ed (52)
Corin Wiser is a co-founder of Womaze and author of Matters of the Heart: A Guide to Living
and Loving Your Teen Years. Initially written just for her three daughters, Corin decided to share
it with all young women.
Having experienced sexual abuse as a young girl, Corin struggled with her own sense of
worthiness and later made it her life’s mission to empower women of all ages, starting with her
three daughters. Corin obtained her master’s degree in counseling and worked with young
children and adolescents, which fostered an even greater commitment to helping people tap into
their true worthiness.
Today, Corin’s daughters possess that same passion, and Womaze is a manifestation of their
collective commitment to empowering women.
Rebecca Wiser (21)
As a co-founder of Womaze, Rebecca Wiser believes that she was put on this earth to amplify
women’s voices. Rebecca is also the founder and former CEO of A Little Wiser, a marketing and
branding company for female entrepreneurs.
From a young age, Rebecca knew that her life’s purpose was to spread compassion and
kindness in the world. That purpose took on a whole new meaning when, at fourteen years of
age, Rebecca developed an autoimmune disease that caused her hair to fall out. From this
experience, Rebecca learned that she needed to foster that same kindness and compassion
toward herself.
Losing her hair as a teenager led Rebecca to disc over tools for developing true confidence and
self-worth. She credits the teachings of Oprah Winfrey, Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson, and
other inspiring female leaders as the catalyst for a profound shift in perspective. These women
taught her how to rise above challenges, become more self-aware, and be a vessel for change.
Years later, Rebecca is now fully healed and is channeling her passion, through Womaze, by
mainstreaming wisdom for women around the world.
Leah Wiser (21)
Leah Wiser is a co-founder of Womaze and an advocate for women’s rights and empowerment.
Leah’s passion began at the age of 11, when she became involved with Give a
Girl a Chance, an organization that provides shelter and education for girls in Africa. Leah
created and spearheaded the organization’s Ambassador and Pen-Pal programs and became
Give a Girl a Chance’s first teen spokesperson.
Leah experienced her own struggles with anxiety and body image, and discovered the power of
consuming empowering media as a tool for self-love and acceptance.
Leah is a media enthusiast (and a journalism student at George Washington University,
currently taking a leave of absence to pursue Womaze), and she recognizes the power of using
media to inspire, rather than as a tool to distract and numb. Through Womaze, Leah plans to
empower the next generation of women leaders and inspire them to find their purpose and
make extraordinary contributions.
Hannah Wiser (17)
Hannah Wiser is a co-founder of Womaze, an actor, and a junior in high school. Both the
Entertainment industry and high school place a great deal of importance on outer appearance,
and Hannah soon realized that if she didn’t actively seek out empowering content, she would
get sucked into a world of comparison and insecurity.
Every morning in her family group chat, she wakes up to feel-good content that creates the
positive mindset needed to take on the world. Through Womaze, Hannah and her family are
taking their family group chat to a whole new level! At age 17, Hannah is already committed to
creating the space for women to feel empowered, and there’s no stopping her

Join the conversation as we talk with Amy C. O'Neill, MS, LPC. She's got a new take on resilience - this is an episode you will want to listen to several times!

About Amy:
Amy C. O’Neill has built a career in mental health over two and a half decades, and traveled a personal path that has proven over and over again that resilience is key to truly living healthy, both in mind and body. Resilience enables us to face tragedy and still take the necessary steps to go through. Resilience is mandatory for us to recover to well when obstacles interfere. And, as Amy can attest, resilience can be harnessed. After methodically training and successfully completing three Ironman Triathlons, and the prestigious Boston Marathon five times, Amy knows how mental and physical focus can lead to success. Perhaps her biggest life test was being thrust into the role of a Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor. Amy’s goal is to share her keen and personal insight with others on how we can not only survive challenges, but also thrive and create a life we love.

Join the conversation with Robin Joy Meyers as we talk about a new understanding of fear.

Learn about Robin Joy:
At 53 I realized that not only do I have a voice; I have a loud, strong, powerful voice. I am the only one who can give myself permission to use it and make myself heard.

Voice. As an international Speaker, best selling Author, and Fear Strategist, it’s the common thread that runs through everything I do. It’s my mission to empower women to give themselves permission to speak their authentic truth, meeting fear as an opportunity for growth, valuing times of transition as occasions to step more fully into their power, and activating the bold choices that will help them create the life they want.

You may wonder why 53 is significant to me. That’s the age when my mother died, and I was 21. It was my wake up call to live my life with purposeful intention.

It is my mission to live a life of purpose and fulfillment and to teach as many women as I can along the way that you have the power to not only use your voice but be heard.

Life is full of transitions and challenges, but by being aware of what triggers our toxic, negative self-doubt and talk, We can shift and reset our mindset.

ALONE time is powerful, empowering and mandatory. It’s your time to think about your visions and to turn them into actions.
