"The Seven Women Project is a fun, insightful look at the constant tug-of-war of fashion and fancy inside us all. I teeter-totter between being a Hanna/Zoe and a Gwen. When Gwen gets her way and I put on the heels and the fantastic dress, we have a blast. Then she very quickly sends me back to Hanna (hungover) and Zoe (to yoga to clean my system back out.) It's a viscous cycle and it actually works pretty well!"

Laura McCreary
Comedy Writer

"Funny, poignant and very entertaining, this book celebrates the multi-faceted nature of women. It gives new meaning to the belief that “we are not alone!” The Seven Women Project has provided me with a better understanding of myself and just as important, more insight into the women whose paths cross mine on a daily basis."

Teri Battaglieri
Special Assistant to the Director of the Michigan Teacher’s Association

"The Seven Women Project is charming, witty and inspiring. It embraces the existence (and encourages the exploration) of the multiple dimensions and aspects of ourselves as women, not to mention gives some great fashion advice. As I read it, I found myself touched by each woman and received several nuggets of wisdom and guidance from each one, while affirming that these insights were already inside of me, as well as parts of each of these women. It is truly empowering and uplifting and a must-read for women of all ages!"

Ren Resch
Consultant, Yoga Instructor and World Traveler

"This amazing mother-daughter team has taken the characteristics of the modern woman and defined them out loud and with humor for all of us to enjoy. They provide a platform for us to look within and re-imagine who we can be as our best selves. As an entrepreneur, I for one will be tapping my inner-Donna moving forward!"

Malissa McLeod

"This is the best book for women I have ever read. Ok, it’s the only book for women I have ever read but it’s still great! Good insights and I learned a lot about how the female mind works. Well done!"

Garrison Wynn
Professional Speaker, author: The Real Truth About Success

"An enlightening, fun read – for both men and women! Women will love the lifestyle tips about personality and fashion and men will gain tremendous insight into the modern woman's psyche."

Connie Podesta
Professional Speaker, author: Making a Fortune Selling to Women

"Reading The Seven Woman Project inspired me to reclaim and celebrate parts of myself that I had forgotten or misunderstood. It deepened my appreciation for the variety of all the special women in my life and the way we continuously change and re-invent ourselves"

Desiree Rumbaugh
Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor

"The Seven Women Project is a brilliant, creative piece of work that captures and honors the depth and richness in each of us. This book is fun, entertaining and yes even enlightening. It allowed me to celebrate my personal journey and highlighted the 'shadow side'. Hats off to Karen and Meredith!!"

Bambi McCullough

Chrysalis Partners

"The Seven Women Project takes the reader on a delightful journey of nurturing self-discovery – to find her voice, her soul and her spirit. Along the way, she comes face-to-face with the charming, yet incongruent, parts of herself and learns to appreciate the unique and complex woman she has become. She is introduced to all of the strengths she has and learns when and how best to draw upon on each and every one of them! The Seven Women Project gives her permission to boldly embrace her own authenticity with newfound joy and freedom. Truly, a beautiful sight to behold!"

I have been talking about losing weight all of my life. My good friends, my sisters and Meredith all know that to be true.   It’s funny because when I see pictures of myself 10 years ago I look pretty good… not skinny but by no means a fatty… yet I have always seen myself as overweight.

And…well now I am. 

But things are going to change. I made the decision this weekend that it’s now or never and  I am on a mission to shed some serious pounds. 
So, you may be asking yourself what makes me think that this time my weight loss “project” will be successful? The answer is pretty easy if you’ve read, The Seven Women Project. This time I am having Kate (super organized) be in charge of my “Weight Loss Program” and not Hanna!

Yes, sad to say but our loving Hanna, the woman who loves comfort foods, has been running the food show in my house for many years now.

The Final Diet begins now- Kate has taken the weight loss reins and she is getting me totally prepared to succeed. As you SWP fans know, Kate loves a plan and a process. 

1. We cleaned out the pantry and got rid of all the salty-crunchies that I can eat unconsciously while watching The Biggest Looser. She filled the fridge with veggies, chicken and fish, and reminded me that green tea is a better option than Diet Coke.

2. She encouraged me to make a personalized notebook/journal. We filled it with 100 of the exact same pages that included a photo of me (when I size 8) a place to write date, a daily food journal, my current weight and measurements. Measuring is really important. Numbers don't lie...

3. I took a photo of me- for the future "before and after" sort of thing (It scared me)

4. I put a slim, happy Karen photo up on the fridge

I am ready to win this time! I need your help. Share all your diet tips and insights. Let's do this together!

Okay, I'm gonna drag my inner Kate out and put her in charge of my diet, I mean lifestyle change (smile). What a great plan. When I did WW last year, I found that by writing down what I ate, I was accountable to my success and did pretty well. Let's go Karen! I with ya.

Yes!!!! Nakia I have been a member of WW off and on for years.  I did write down what I ate when I was in WW... I will do it again in my DIY Journal. Thanks for the support! Just had delicious chicken tenders sauteed in organic soy sauce and chicken broth. It was delicious along with my large tomato and apple.  Drinking lots of tea.  
Later...

I'm with you, Karen, but I'm putting my inner Zoe in charge of my lifestyle change.  Be kind to yourself, listen to your body, and learn to discriminate between hunger and cravings.  My favorite diet book (the only one I'm keeping) is The Yoga of Eating by Charles Eisenstein.
