Women’s Empowerment Summit
16 July 2011, New York City

The NYC Women’s Empowerment Summit is a one-day conference designed for all women, young and old, to meet and share best practices, stories of success, and experiences both personal and professional. The goal of the summit is to create new bridges and a wider awareness of political, social and economic causes, in order to help other women reach their full potential in life. Our panel of speakers includes a variety of successful women from all genres of business, workforces and life. Proceeds from the day’s events will be donated to the Make a Wish Foundation®.

The NYC Women’s Empowerment Summit happens THIS SATURDAY! I’ll be speaking at 11.30am about my experiences with radical self love, & how they have shaped my life & career. Come along! It’ll be a blast!

20SB Summit
19-21 August 2011, Chicago

Join some of the most influential members of the twenty-something community at the inaugural 20SB Summit presented by Lenovo. In Chicago, this August 19-21, engage peers and role models around two electrifying programming tracks:

aspiration. thought-provoking sessions designed to inspire and entertain
application. how-to sessions designed to educate and empower

The agenda and speakers have been carefully chosen to represent what matters most to 20 Something Bloggers. This summit is for you by you. Whether you are just starting out or at the top of your game, be there for the beginning of something big.

I’m so excited about going to Chicago next month! 20SB stands for 20 Something Bloggers, so this is a blogging conference for young whippersnappers! (Older whippersnappers are, of course, welcome too!) I’ll be speaking on The Glamour, The Glory, The Grind: Lessons Learned From 5 Years Of Problogging.

It’s been a crazy ride, & in my (almost) five years of full-time blogging, I’ve learned a LOT. I’ll tell you some of the ugly truths about blogging, & share some of my most magical moments…

Radical Self Love Bootcamp

Do you want to fall in love with yourself, truly, madly, deeply? Radical self love is the process of discovering who you really are, then embracing that & owning it! When you love yourself, you won’t accept anything less than what you really desire. It opens you up to opportunities you could never dream of. It completely transforms your existence. We’ll be discussing what radical self love looks like, how to take those first few steps towards falling in love with yourself, & get you feeling energised & passionate again! You’ll walk away feeling inspired to live the life you’ve always wanted, with a huge number of tips & tricks to help get you there!

It’s probably no big secret that THIS event is the one I’m most excited about! We’re gonna be talking about RADICAL SELF LOVE exclusively, & I can’t wait to see all your beautiful smiling faces! Bring your best friend & your radical self love bible, ’cause this is going to be a riotous, hands-on hoedown!

This event will also have a massive Q&A portion, so come with your questions! I’m going to answer as many as I possibly can.
