State Of The Pink Union


Lissa Rankin

Summer is over at the Rankin household. Siena’s back in school.  The long, lazy days of swimming at Mom’s lake house and riding rollercoasters at Cedar Point are behind us. And it’s almost past Labor Day.

So I find myself on this day, pausing to take a deep breath, to examine where I’ve been, to explore where I’m going, and to let you in on my process, since you’ve been watching me bumble along - plundering and strewing at times - as I figure it out.

Meet Your Inner Pilot Light

 

Inner Pilot Light

If you’re a patient of mine, if you’ve been reading my blog, if you’re a student of the Get Out Of Your Own Way e-course, or if you read The Daily Flame, you’ve probably heard me frequently referencing your “Inner Pilot Light.” But someone who doesn’t know me well asked me flat out the other day, “Lissa, what’s an Inner Pilot Light?” And I realized I’d never really written a post about something that has become part of my everyday vernacular. So if you’ve ever been curious and you’d like to know more about this vital part of every single one of us, this post is for you.

Get Your Mojo On: Retreat Into Your WHOLE Health

Get Your Mojo On

I’m so excited to be leading a workshop at Kripalu, a gorgeous retreat center in the Berkshires in Massachusetts in June, and for those who are considering signing up -- or even for those who will miss it, I wanted to share with you some snippets of what I’ll be teaching.

Do you need a jump start in your life? Are you feeling disconnected, both spiritually and from other people? Are you ready to ramp up your mojo, find your life purpose, get healthy, light your creative spark, and hang with me in the flesh?

If so, GOOD NEWS! You can unite with other vital women, speak your truth, be UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU, get personal coaching, and light your Inner Pilot Light in the gorgeous setting of Kripalu.

You could say that my workshop is a “health” workshop, but if you said that, you’d be putting this workshop in a box and making it way too small -- although I’m a physician, I don’t think of health the way most doctors do. Which is exactly why I started OwningPink.com, because my definition of health includes not just the body, but also mental/emotional health, work/life purpose, relationships, creativity, spirituality, sexuality, and a whole lot more! I call it “whole health," aka “mojo.” As in GET YOUR MOJO ON, baby!

So what are we going to be doing?

Risks & Benefits of Hormones in Menopause

Risks & Benefits of Hormones in Menopause

If you’re struggling with menopausal symptoms, you may be grasping for anything that will help you get your mojo back. And chances are, you’ll at least consider taking hormones if your menopausal symptoms are severe enough.

I outlined my natural recommendations for treatment of menopausal symptoms here. But what about hormones? What’s the real skinny?

Back when I was training, we were putting everybody and her great-grandmother on hormones. 90-year-old ladies who had just had a heart attack? Here, take Premarin! 80-year-olds with osteoporosis? How ‘bout some estrogen, hon?! 55-year-olds who had sailed through menopause with ease? Why not take Prempro to protect yourself?

Now we know better. Not only are hormones not cardiac protective the way we once thought -- they can actually increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

So why would a woman take hormones?

In honor of the beta-launch of my first ever Owning Pink e-course Get Out Of Your Own Way: Free Yourself From Fear And Worry And Leap Into Your Dreams, I’ll be posting a series of posts based on Get Out Of Your Own Way superstars who have implemented the principles of the e-course. These beauties have gotten out of their own way and started ROCKING this life by tapping into their authentic selves (aka the Inner Pilot Light), letting their freak flags fly, finding their callings, identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs, eliminating false obstacles, getting jiggy with raking in the moolah, and starting to live the joyful, powerful, fulfilling lives they’re destined to live.

Let’s start with Michelle Medina.

More To Life Than Mojo

Walking along a turmeric-colored trail this late afternoon, I just finished a speech to my boyfriend about how (to paraphrase) I don’t believe that anyone is ever "too far gone” to be loved back into authenticity and joy.

Breast Cancer Vs. Menopausal Mojo: Must We Choose?

Here we go again.  Just when we think we’ve made peace with hormones, more data emerges to throw us into a collective tailspin again. None of us wants to die of breast cancer, but what if we want to improve our quality of life by taking hormones after menopause? Do we have to choose between living vitally and dying? And how do we make sense of all this data?
