Featured Interviews of Influential Women

Although Ash Beckham didn’t set out to become a viral sensation with her TEDx talk “Coming Out of Your Closet,” her emphasis on empathy, respect, and the power of striking up difficult conversations contributed to more than 8 million YouTube views. As an “accidental advocate,” Ash reaches millions every day and teaches people the importance of “not being quiet and giving ourselves permission to be allies.” I spoke with her recently about the importance of knowing what you stand for so you can motivate major shifts—individually and socially.

I am honored to present this insightful conversation with author, teacher and a new friend of mine - Christine Hassler. In our chat, we talk about her new book, Expectation Hangover, personal transformation and how to move into acceptance of what is.

A few weeks ago I sat down with Erin Stutland, creator of Shrink Session, Sweat Therapy, to talk about the integration of the mind and body and one of my favorite words - movement! I loved connecting with Erin because she exudes clarity and motivation! Erin isn't your traditional "trainer" where she pushes you to your physical extreme. She has developed programs that have a gentle approach to help you combine your physical workouts with intention and awareness. In this conversation, Erin and I discuss how to manifest your vision and how to be accountable for your ideas. Plus she leaves us with a simple mantra that we can all use - bonus!

Last week I sat down with Kris Carr via Skype and connected with her about her new book, Crazy Sexy Juice: 100+ Simple Juice, Smoothie & Nut Milk Recipes to Supercharge Your Health. I am so happy that I was able to connect with her! What I love about Kris is that she is exactly who she puts herself out there to be. She and her brand both emanate authentic love, kindness, and positivity.

I am really excited to introduce Jensine Larson, Founder of World Pulse, to the Wf1 community. I first saw Jensine speak at a conference last year and I instantly felt connected to her. This is a very special interview for me because Jensine is fulfilling a dream I had when I was younger, to connect women across the globe.This is a powerful interview that you MUST watch.

In this second of a series of interviews with Molly McCord, we talk about what it means to get real. So many of us began adulthood determined to shape our lives into what they “should” look like, and we realize along the way that we’ve started down a path that feels empty and unfulfilling. We need to ask Who am I? and What do I want? Most importantly, though, we need to add to that, Do I really believe I deserve to get what I want?

I am honored to present the first in a series of enlightened conversations with Molly McCord. Her gift is in her words and presence, and she has written eight books that reflect on her exploration into personal growth and consciousness.

Last year, I had the pleasure of interviewing Panache Desai. A lot can happen in a year, and I am thrilled to have had yet another opportunity to discuss life, purpose, spirituality, and blessings with Panache. How can we make peace with difficult situations? Why must we be “bigger” than spirituality? And what is the one thing in life that matters most in life? Check it out and enjoy.

It is an honor to share this interview with intuitive, author, speaker, and therapist Elisa Romeo. Our conversation digs into a topic that may be uncomfortable for some, but that I really have enjoyed exploring: the idea of past lives and out-of-body experiences. There is an attitude in our society that this is kind of “woo woo psychology,” if you will, but still, my own experiences and the experiences of so many of us tell us that there are things about life that we simply do not understand. I love delving into ideas and seeing what resonates, and Elisa’s passion for life and purpose makes this subject all the more fascinating.

Truth isn’t a demanding urge, it’s a whisper. That’s why it’s so important to learn to listen quietly. When Truthteller Dina Proctor first began to (reluctantly) try to find her own truth while in recovery for alcohol addiction, she couldn’t hear the gentle softness of it through her own pain. It wasn’t until she learned to meditate, then adapted the practice into something that worked for her, that she could finally truly connect with her own all-knowing inner voice. She developed the 3x3 Meditation technique, and now teaches it to others through her book and coaching practice. I learned a lot from what she had to tell me, and I think you will, too!
