The world lost a one-of-a-kind man on July 17 when my beloved husband Alexander Barbanell died following a two-week hospitalization for pneumonia and multiple infections that were too much for his 91-year-old body to overcome. He was just two weeks shy of his 92nd birthday, August 1.

Get Active: MD, Co-Founder, Power Up Conference Speaker on Your Power and Bodily Autonomy

Sophia Yen, MD, is not wearing her uterus necklace today.

It is a mere oversight perhaps, because most days, the CEO and co-founder of Pandia Health, the world’s only women-founded, women-led/doctor founded, doctor-led birth control delivery company, dons the jewelry reminder as a way to “respect the womb. We all owe the womb for our existence.”

Zooming In: Top Strategies For Better Remote Meetings

According to a Strome College of Business study, more than 92% of remote workers experience “Zoom Fatigue,” which does not bode well for overall team productivity.

There are a few reasons that online meetings are not as effective as in-person meetings: there’s less real-time feedback; many online meeting attendees do not use sound or video; and multitasking takes over.

6 Reasons Now Is The Time To Power Up For Big RE: REthink, REwire, REcreate Your Career

The summer of 2022 marks the third summer of COVID-related work complications for millions of women from remote work adjustments to childcare urgencies to workplaces shutdowns, reorganizations and layoffs.

The National Women’s Law Center reports that between February 2020 and January of this year, 1.1 million women left the workforce. Some reinvented themselves as entrepreneurs, others reshaped their lives outside of their careers. Research shows this cultural time, space and economic reality supports shifts that not only bring change, but transformation.

Final call to submit your question for Carla!

What if we told you that someone was waiting on you to activate your Big RE?

Maybe, just maybe, Karen Graham can attribute her new career as vice president of marketing and brand for Evite back to her mom who loved to throw parties when she, her younger brother and older sister were growing up in the northern suburbs of Chicago.

“I’ve always loved events, I’m very social, but I haven’t thought before that my mom loved throwing parties. She went big for birthday parties. So something rubbed off on me,” says Graham, who is in charge of rebranding Evite, the 24-year-old online invitation platform.
