Six Words Were a Kick in the Stomach By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder "Why Don’t You Go Produce Something . . ." Six words. That’s it, six. Those few words hit me like a freight train when they came in a text a few years ago from someone close to me (and who is a fellow entrepreneur). I didn’t realize how deeply it hurt and affected me until recently. As women we sometimes feel we aren’t doing enough, being enough, good … [Read more...]

Motivation Constipation. Yes, It's a Thing! By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder It was a familiar scene and feeling . . . Sitting at my desk paralyzed with indecision and droopy shoulders from so much weight on them. I was crampy, too. “I need relief. Make it stop,” kept swirling through my brain. What was happening?! It then came on like a tsunami: Motivation Constipation! I immediately asked myself the following … [Read more...]

Go Deep or Rock the Boat? How to embrace or make a shift! By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters. -- Kristin Armstrong I think we can all agree that a global pandemic required us to all shift in a major way. Early on we were trying out new recipes … [Read more...]

It's Not Just a Dress By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder I decided to write this post today because it was on my mind all day - although some of you will think it is quirky LOL. But I can be quirky at times so here goes. There have been several times in my life that I made life-altering health decisions . . . the first was when I was 38 and had a total hysterectomy that catapulted me into menopause and ruined any chances of ever … [Read more...]

Rock Stars and Gratitude
November 20, 2018 By 2 Comments
At our recent NH Conference for Women our theme was “Be The Rock Star Of Your Life.” It did not mean smash guitars, sell millions of records and live life in the fast lane. It simply meant to set aside the things that got in your way so you could live a larger life – on your terms. In the spirit of our conference theme, I would like you to consider what it means to be a rock star: Common traits. The traits of today’s rock stars include … [Read more...]
Sometimes We Need to Check Ourselves . . .

Sometimes We Need to Check Ourselves . . . By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder Like most women, I was beating myself up. Relentlessly. Predictably. And then had an epiphany of sorts. I was feeling restless that I hadn’t completed much this first quarter of 2018. I had goals, objectives, and plans that included leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Then I would launch myself over row houses. Then skip through a city park and … [Read more...]
Life-Changing Questions
February 26, 2018 By 1 Comment
By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder I was having a conversation recently with an old, dear friend who was at a crossroads in her life. A lot came out during this talk from taking time for ourselves, (especially to grieve the loss of a loved one), to societal perceptions if we take time off from working, to what brings us joy, to our next chapter in life and so much more. I shared with her an exercise that has worked for me for some time … [Read more...]
What’s Your Story?

What’s Your Story? By Leslie Sturgeon, WIW Founder We all have stories to tell, every experience is significant in its own way and some of our stories are life altering. One of the reasons I started WIW 10 years ago was that I felt every woman should share their story, whether it be personal or professional, with a group of like-minded people (and in the process it may be helpful to you and others). At the NH Conference for Women back in … [Read more...]
