Book Tour Week 2 - Support & Sisters in NYC

Lissa Rankin, October 14, 2010

When I approached my book tour, I decided to focus on living in the moment. After all, how many people get to actually go on a 20 city book, traveling the country and meeting their readers? I wanted to really be present on this book tour, rather than freaking out about what might be ahead or reliving what might have already happened.

So when I finished my chat at Connecticut College in New London, I was shocked when Editor-in-Pink Lauren (who is also my roadie on this leg of the journey) said, “You can relax now. You don’t have to do any public speaking for the next week.” Say what? We were about to hop on a train to spend six days in New York City! What did she mean I didn’t have any public speaking? But apparently, she spoke the truth.

A Case Against Circumcision

Lissa Rankin, September 7, 2010

When I was an intern, just starting my OB/GYN residency, someone handed me a list with a dozen names on it and said, “Go. It’s your job to circumcise these babies.” My mouth flung open. Say what?

Is Your Adrenal Gland As Fatigued As You Are?

Lissa Rankin, June 10, 2010

Adrenal fatigue? Say what? I hear you. It’s certainly nothing they ever taught me in medical school, and chances are that if you go to your doctor at Kaiser and ask to get tested for it, they’ll raise a white coat eyebrow at you.

Medicine that Empowers You

Guest Author, June 8, 2010

I'm thrilled to introduce my hero, Christiane Northrup. Dr. Northrup is a pioneer in women's health and has changed the face of the field in so many ways.

Please give a warm welcome to Dr. Northrup, and enjoy this excerpt from the newly-revised edition of her groundbreaking book, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom (it goes without saying that I highly recommend picking up a copy!). You can read more about Dr. Northrup at the end of this post. -- Lissa

How Social Media Can Help You Get Your Mojo Back

Lissa Rankin, May 10, 2010

One year ago, I had no clue how to use social media. Sure, I had 100 friends on Facebook and had vaguely heard of Twitter, but it all sounded like a total time sink. Boy, was I wrong.

What I didn't know then was that social media would not only help me get my mojo back, it would land me a publishing deal that found four houses fighting over my book, in addition to introducing me to my tribe, the people who get me and are committed to helping me achieve my dreams.

Owning Your Body: Your Most Trusted Advisor

Stacey Curnow, January 27, 2010

I consider my body my most trusted advisor. I think it assimilates information from the Universe that I can’t understand fully at first. You see, I know the Universe wants my best life, but sometimes I don’t heed its advice – sometimes I’m convinced I don’t even hear it.

Owning Your Dreams- Never, Ever Give Up on YOU

Lissa Rankin, December 1, 2009

When we started Owning Pink just over six months ago, I set a personal goal- I wanted to write books. I had already written a memoir that Barbara Poelle, my literary agent who I lovingly call Monkey Barbara, shopped around. A whole slew of editors took the book to editorial boards, where it got shot down by a whole slew of marketing departments who didn’t know how to put it in a box. The glowing rejection letters piled up.
