Sandi Klein's Conversations with Creative Women

Healthy bodies and healthy minds are connected, and learning to eat

smart should be fun. Those two simple beliefs are behind Bitsy's

Brainfood.... brain child of Alex Buckley Voris and Maggie Jones Patton. There's nothing artificial in their alphabet-shaped treats for kids

made with real fruits and vegetables and packed with vitamins and

Omega-3. Their website (Bitsysbrainfood.com) features interactive games

and characters designed to promote good health, as well as nutritious

recipes for the whole family.

Janet Hoffman is one of the more than 6 million people who have learned

the Transcendental Meditation technique. She subsequently became a

teacher and for 30 years, directed and taught at the New York City TM

Centers. Janet is currently the Executive Director of the TM Program

for Women Professionals and also writes about consciousness and its

relevance to women's emotional, mental and physical health. Sit back,

listen and relax.

Deborah Koenigsberger is a force of nature. A successful

businesswoman/entrepreneur, her boutique Noir et Blanc has been around

since 1989. But, a walk through a Manhattan park 20 years ago, with her

young sons proved to be a seminal, life-changing moment. It was there

she came upon a mom and her child sleeping in a cardboard box. That

prompted Deborah to start Hearts of Gold, a non-profit that provides

sustainable changes in the lifestyles and levels of self-sufficiency for

homeless moms and their children. More than 30,000 families have

benefited from her dedication, commitment and hard work.

Faye Feller knew very early on she wanted to be a

doctor. Her determination, commitment and hard work paid off. Since

of New York City's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the number 2

cancer hospital in the country. Learn all about a work-day in the life

Anne Fulenwider is very much at home in the world of magazines. She's

been Editor-in-Chief of Marie Claire since 2012. And in that role,

oversees all content for print, the website, tablet editions and the

brand's partnership with Lifetime TV's Project Runway series. Anne was

also Editor-in-Chief of Brides, Senior Articles Editor at Vanity Fair

and Senior Editor at The Paris Review. She's got plenty to say, so sit

back and enjoy!

Jacki Zehner is a woman on a mission. The founder of The Jacquelyn and Gregory Zehner Foundation, she funds and works with a whole host of organizations that focus on women's rights. In 2012, she became CEO of Women Moving Millions. The goal of this

non-profit is to mobilize resources for the advancement of women and

girls - so far, more than 200 people have given gifts of a million

dollars or more.

It's all about argan oil. A trip to Morocco (home of the argan tree)

was a life changer for Patricia Reinders, who in 2009 founded SULA NYC.

Her company's beauty products contain 100% organic argan oil - an

excellent, natural source of vitamin E and essential fatty acids for

skin and hair. It's said to have restorative and age-defying

effects...for women AND men. There's lots to learn from this

conversation!

Dr. Lee Quinby's academic career spans more

than 30 years. An expert in apocalyptic and millennial belief in

American society, she's an author, editor and filmmaker. The 2012

documentary, True Delta, which she wrote, co-directed and produced,

focuses on aging blues musicians in the Mississippi Delta in the hope

that, "as one generation passes on, another carries on."
