If you’re in burn out or major transition, this is YOUR time to figure out what is holding you back from making the changes you need to make in order to live your fullest, most joyful life! The cause of all our challenges (personal or professional) can actually be rooted in the lack of Internal Superpowers and/or External Supports. Our Well Woman Life Framework tells you which stage of the WWL Cycle you’re in and what to do about it so you can truly live your best life. When women and girls are healthy, successful and thriving, the community as a whole thrives. Well Woman Life supports women to achieve their highest level of fulfillment and well-being. We are women doing something innovative in order to make a difference in our lives or in the lives of others, and maintain a sense of well-being while doing it all! Whether it’s personal, physical or sexual health, juggling life and work, professional development or financial success, emotional or spiritual wellness, a Well Woman is passionate about achieving her highest level of health and well being.

I met Giovanna on Women’s Equality Day 2023 in Los Angeles at the Take the Lead Conference when she was presenting “Be SELF-ish: How to set boundaries without sacrificing your career.” Kathy Spillar of Ms. Magazine accepted the Leading Media award at the conference and was also a guest on Giovanna’s NPR show.
