Peruse all issues of theWhat right here
Hello Wonderful. We are thankful for the rain today. We are thankful to be alive with a roof over our heads. We are thankful for the firefighters and all the good citizens who have helped the victims of the brutal fires. And we are thankful for you, dear reader, for supporting our indie newsletter so we […]
Hello Wonderful. Last year, we asked our friend Annie Galvin from 3 Fish Studios (and illustrator of The What every week) to draw her signature California bear in a fire helmet to honor the firefighters battling the blazes in Sonoma, Napa and throughout SoCal. So, it’s absolutely heartbreaking that this image is poignant again one year later. Fifty-nine known victims have […]
Hello Wonderful. Regardless of political affiliation, how can one not be moved, thrilled to see 100 women in the House and a record turnout of voters in the U.S. elections? The ‘us against them’ mentality on both sides of the divide has been exhausting and corrosive. We’re looking for more bi-partisan organizations like represent.us to bring together […]
Hello Wonderful. Our longtime reader friend, Brandi, sent us a link to a video from TEDx Prague (she often sends us great tips so we always pay attention). In it, lifestyle coach Barbara Sher, talks about how she’s watched people change their lives, get what they want, and pursue their dreams. Turns out, it’s not […]
Hello Wonderful. The other day, while leaving a meeting, a motorist slowed down to let us cross a busy street. We smiled and nodded to each other in gratitude. It was a cloudless, beautiful day made even nicer from the kindness of a stranger. Suddenly, an irate woman in a giant SUV leaned on her horn […]
Hello Wonderful. Here’s what’s going on today: GP is packing up her family and moving out of the deep ’burbs to be closer to the city. Amy is holding down the fort, following up on dozens of post-conference To Dos and drafting TW’s Fall/Winter events calendar. We’re back in the saddle searching the world and the web to […]
Hello Wonderful. The Summit may be over but our work in connecting, engaging, and helping each other find purpose and well-being has just begun. There were so many highlights from the event but Debra Messing was a star in every sense of the word—from the way she showed up despite a breakneck east/west coast schedule to promote her movie […]
Hello Wonderful. We’re two days away from The What Summit, the most ambitious all-woman event we’ve ever produced—a full day of personal and professional curriculum presented by 50 of the most brilliant, inspiring, and competent women around. For those of you who can’t attend, we will be sharing their wisdom via video in the coming months. Last […]
Hello Wonderful. Good things don’t come easy. This issue is dedicated to everyone out there who is hustling to make things happen despite the universe yanking the rug out from under you along the way. Fires crop up (sometimes literally) but we extinguish them and trudge on towards the horizon. There are 16 days to […]
Hello Wonderful. Today’s newsletter is short and sweet but there’s some good stuff in here so click through. We’ve been hard at work last weekend finalizing the full speaker lineup and slate (so much for Labor-less Day) and we’re currently working on a Scholarship Lottery so we can include more women who don’t have our […]
