When women show up for themselves seeking clarity from their inner voice, amazing things happen. Powerful, connected, wise - these beautiful women who joined us for yesterday’s intention setting event left with 3 unique values and a rock solid intention to make their 2020 an incredible year. To be more loving, to publish their book, to be more mindful and present. So many good things coming from these ladies that we can’t wait to watch. How are you reflecting on 2019 and planning for the year ahead? 💫 @ Inner Space Des Moines

Join us in Seizing the Season with Wander Women Iowa. We’re learning to love the cold! This week we contributed a 10 minute guided meditation on warmth and personal power + a few journal prompts to reconnect with your truth. 💫 Let us know what you think - and let Jenn know what you’re doing to get outside!

Welcome to week two of Seize the Season! This week our guest author, Dr. Amanda Hardy, helps ready our minds for winter. As someone who has suffered from Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), I found her suggestions and insight incredibly helpful. We hope you do too. This week’s meditation brought to...

"This is just a snapshot of a myriad of emotions and thoughts that constantly maneuver through my mind; while simultaneously just trying to focus on my breath, admire the blue skies and talk to the sun."

Such an honor to have Coral Thede on the blog this week. 💕

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We've been a little quiet here, and it's no reflection of how we feel about you. Actually, it's because of the way we feel about you. The biggest part of our mission is to allow women to show up exactly as they are without judgement. This means showing up with the scary, the heavy, the hard, the slow down, the rest, the happy and everything in between. We've only ever wanted to live our lives and this business with that idea in mind. So when we started hearing calls to surrender, slow down, rest and spend more time healing, growing, and soaking up our babies, we listened. Totally being and living our mission means allowing women, ourselves included, to pause, reconnect, tap out, say "this is hard". It's not a reality to be rosey and go-go-go all the time. That's not the image we ever want to portray. We're still here. We're still going to be here. For the moment we'll honor ourselves and what feels right. Someday the flame will return and we'll honor that too. In the meantime, watch for us as we use our intuition as our guide and connect with you intermittently via our monthly newsletter and social media shout outs. We hope you'll honor yourself too.

There is power in sisterhood!❤️💪

We need to reverse the stereotype that women don’t support other women. There is research that shows women in particular benefit from collaboration over competition. Here is advice from women leaders on how to find and cultivate a close network of female professionals.

Celeste Watson is such a powerful, inspiring source within our community. This week we spotlight her on our blog and share details of her upcoming retreat.

After spending over twenty years in Corporate America I realized that my passion was in the coaching and development of women. I spent the last five years of my corporate career in a leadership role and was able to hone in on those coaching skills and obtain my coaching designation.

Last week we hosted our second free meditation and the energy and conversation was incredible. Women offered themselves and others space for recognition and calm.

We even practiced mindfully eating chocolate. 🤤 🍫

We talked about mindfulness, the act of paying attention to the present moment, on purpose, nonjudgementally. We’ll talk more about mindfulness in an upcoming live, but did you know it can:

• Help relieve stress
• Lower blood pressure
• Reduce chronic pain
• Improve sleep
• Improve relationships

The benefits are incredible and it’s so worth a try. How will you be mindful this week?

Something we always say and firmly believe. The universe knows her sh*t. Trust and surrender are two things we are constantly working on.

How about you? What are you working on?

Claire Richmond is a graphic designer, writer, and rare disease advocate. She lives with a life-threatening metabolic disorder, which shapes her perspective on storytelling, the creative process, business and mental health. She is incredibly powerful and we're so honored to share her story in our most recent Sisterhood Spotlight.

I believe that none of us are given a challenge in life that we can’t handle. This is a post about NOT giving up. This is a post about self-advocacy. Because standing up for what you need, for who you are and for more effectively using your voice in this noisy, busy world isn’t easy. This is how...

Guiding, connecting and empowering women. That is absolutely a mission we can get behind.

Jenn at Wander Women Iowa is hilariously authentic and is showing up for women in the most impactful of ways. We had the absolute pleasure of meeting with her today to brew up some seriously cool ideas! Can’t wait to see them come to life.
