Does all the hard work really make you happier?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

We all drank the kool-aid that if we worked harder, we’d be happier.

More exhausted, more wrinkles, and more overwhelmed is more like it.

This summer, spend 40-days with us and transform
your stressed-out energizer bunny self
into a harmonious and happy super woman.

… and do it right from the comfort of your phone and computer.

the 40-day Summer of Self Love virtual retreat starts Tuesday, June 22nd

STOP! Don't this add to your to-do list... it's not a 'to-do'
You don’t need to fit more into your jammed packed calendar.

This isn't about ‘doing’ anything more.
It’s about doing the life you already do every day differently...

It's about being more of yourself... (the happy and free you)

And we will show you how!

Hello Sister Super Woman!

WE GET IT, you’ve been told you can do anything, so now you feel pressured to do, be and have everything!
And, because you are a can-do, make-it-happen kind of woman, you've...

Achieved a lot already by most people’s standards (even though you’ve not met your own),
Got more you want to accomplish (a title, a $ amount, a milestone, a real purpose),
Gotten more done in a day than anyone else you know, yet never felt like it was enough (even after a 12-hour day),
Pushed yourself and your body to exhaustion, because you've got to get "it" done.

And yet...

You don’t feel happier… You still haven’t found balance…
and you spend more time doing what you have-to vs. what you love.

Your body and soul have become your slaves.

And, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

You’ve been taught to power yourself through your life... to hold it all together, not get emotional and push forward, no matter what. You’ve been bred to be a ‘doer.’ And, while driving yourself hard may have propelled you forward before, today it’s wearing you out … with not much more to show for it.

The truth is…

What you learned in college and in your climb up the ladder prepared you to survive in a man’s world, in a man’s way, they did not teach you how to thrive as a woman…
So woman to woman, we will.

You will leave these 40-days connected to sources of power inside of yourself you never knew existed. You will have the tools and the wisdom you need to allow your life to fuel you vs. you fueling it. And you will finally have the answers to how you can create happiness, inner peace and love... And achieve and succeed.

We are all tired of working so hard and never feeling like it’s enough…
you can make a different choice,
when you know where to look...

"I was crushed by the burden..."
...of being the sole breadwinner for my family. I wanted more for my life, but I felt stuck. From my first conversation with Christine I could feel a shift. I started to realize the extent to which I took on way too much. With her help, I finally got that receiving rather than always giving helps me win precious time back with my family and create space for me. I have learned to trust myself, I now love making time to just "be", and I channel my energy towards the most important things to me." – Laurie, 43, Vice President Fortune 500 and mother of two girls

Is this 40-day Experience for me?

YOU need to attend the "Summer of Self-Love” Virtual Retreat if you...

Love being a can-do woman, but you’re wondering if working so hard is worth it (you spend lots of energy, but something is off in the effort vs. happiness equation.)
Like the idea of taking time to take care of yourself (there's just not enough time to do it.)
Can't seem to relax or stop doing (there may be value in 'just being' but was is it, and how do you 'do' it?)
Have a mind that operates like the CNN ticker tape… it just keeps going and going.
Check your email before you brush your teeth, while driving, or during meals (be honest).
Feel overextended, overwhelmed and stressed out on a weekly (or daily) basis.
Are harder on yourself than anyone else could ever be (and that is pretty hard.)
Want more – as in more meaningful, more time, more space (not more to do.)
Want to be around smart and happy and women that support other fabulous women.

"Christine really understands what it's like to be a woman of the 21st century.
Whether it's dealing with or even embracing aspects of life in corporate America or managing your natural tendency to want to be everything to everyone all at once, Christine can help you appreciate where you are today without giving up on where you want to be tomorrow."
– Ana Perez, G.E. & Kellogg School of Management

"Wealth and Success are meaningless without happiness!
Marci Shimoff shows you how to be happy wherever you are in life."
– Dr. Ivan Misner, Chairman and Founder of BNI (Business Networks International)

Hang with Us for 40-days, and you will learn to:

Accomplish just as much without working as hard (probably even more.)
Do what makes you happy, and spend less time, money and energy doing it.
Attract bigger and better opportunities to you (without working so hard.)
Switch yourself from overwhelm to calm.
Stop taking on everything for everyone else.
Wake up without your first thought being your “to-do” list.
Tap into new power sources that power up your day, instead of you powering through your day,
Relax and take time for yourself without feeling guilty or stressed out.
Activate your Feminine Super Powers (the real secrets Wonder Woman used to find calm within chaos).

If could just do more and achieve the next thing, then I would be happy.
"I believed that if I wasn't the one doing everything for my clients, my family, or my friends, I was a loser. I was tired, tortured, an lost. Christine gave me the courage and the confidence to turn my back on a high paying, but soul killing career. She challenged me to not raise my hand and volunteer to do every job, and you know what? If you don't raise your hand, someone else will. And you aren't any less of a person for it." – Krystin, 38, entrepreneur and mother of two

Now that you’ve become a great achiever,
learn how to be a great receiver!

A 40-day virtual retreat that guides how you live your life

Tuesday, June 22nd thru August 3rd at 5:00 PM Pacific / 8:00 PM Eastern

HOW DOES IT WORK?

In Your Life, Wherever You Are. Just like doing a 40-day cleanse with the support of a nutrition expert while still going about your day-to-day life, this is a 40-day self-love practice that you get to do with the guidance and inspiration of three of the leading happiness, self-love and inner peace teachers... integrating what you learn immediately into your daily life as we go. The difference is, you don't have to go through food withdraw in the process...chocolate is allowed!
40-days / 7 Focuses. We've identified 7 major patterns, beliefs, and blocks that keep women addicted to achieving, unable to slow down, feeling overwhelmed and finding it impossible to keep the happiness, peace and love they work so hard for. Each week -- kicking off with a live tele-call on Tuesday night -- we will focus on one of these areas, giving you insight, wisdom and practical, and daring, tools you can integrate right away. The calls are recorded, and cliff notes taken, so even if you can't make the calls, you can listen later and read the notes the next day.
Daily Doses of Self-Love. As good as your daily astrology reading or daily candy fix, you'll receive short but powerful e-messages that keep your soul on retreat, even while your body is at work. Always focused on the topic of the week, and always fun (after all , it is summer!)
Connection with Other Super Women. On the live calls, if you want, you'll be able to talk with us, as well participate in small group conversations with women from around the world. It's just like being in the room with all of us, but you can do it from wherever you are - now that's a retreat! All retreat participants are also given access to the private online Self Love Studio Cafe' where you can interact with Christine, Marci and Kris and with other women.
Access to it all online, at your leisure. Everything -- the live calls, the 40-day doses of self love, the class notes -- are posted online at the private online Self Love Studio Cafe' so that you can download whenever you want.

Why 40-days?

The yogis, brain scientists and metaphysicans all agree that if you can do anything for 40 days you can change your life, transforming self-sabotaging patterns, behaviors and beliefs into new habits that are actually good for you (ones that create the happiness, peace, love and freedom you work so hard for.)

Like most women of this generation, you have been programmed -- from the inside out -- to run around like an energizer bunny gone mad, functioning like an achievement junkie or doing addict on steroids. It's in your DNA. Doing more downward dogs and finding a new time management system won’t cut it. You need to rewire yourself to be both an achiever and a receiver! And that’s exactly what we will do together over these 40-days.

These calls are interactive, experiential retreat time for you,
designed to give yourself permission for ME-time.
You will be able to interact with us as well as
with your super women sisters on the LIVE calls

You'll want to attend as many of the live classes as possible to get into the rhythm of the 40-days, filling you with energy to take the actions that will change your life.

And remember that it's NOT necessary for you to attend all - or even ANY - of these live sessions to get the full benefits of this virtual retreat. After each live class, you'll be given access to the audio recordings on our super cool online Self Love Café’, where you can ask questions of Marci, Christine and Kris, talk to your super woman sisters, and listen to recordings over the Web, download the audio files to your computer or Ipod (making the recordings yours forever), keeping you informed and inspired wherever you are, whenever you want.

Set Down the Overwhelm & Pick Up Self-Love this Summer
for the cost of a latte a day...

DAY 1: RECEIVE & ACHIEVE

June 22 - Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what makes you happy? Why do you work so hard? And where did you get this ‘gotta-do-it-all” personality? In this session you’ll kick off a 40-day self-love practice of Receiving (along with your super woman sisters – including Marci – who’s dedicating her summer to this practice.) To get you launched with style and power, you’ll learn about:

Your personal happiness set point and what really makes you happy.
Reasons why you push away help, take on the world, can’t stop doing and work so hard.
How you control the amount of happiness, love and peace you let in (or don’t).
Easy practices to start receiving more peace, love and happiness right away.

DAY 7: BALANCE, THE HOLY GRAIL

June 29 - The key to balance has nothing to do with holding tree pose, and everything to do with how the feminine and masculine powers inside of you dance (or fight). They key to balance is finding harmony between these powers. The problem is that you’ve been taught to lead with your manpower and discount your feminine power. In this call you’ll learn:

What feminine super powers (FSP) are and how to activate them.
How relying on manpower alone causes you to work way harder than necessary.
How to get your manpower and feminine super powers dancing together, and get your life into a harmony and rhythm that hums.
How to master the FSP of Invitation and get more serendipity, magic and positive coincidence into your life.

DAY 14: SUPER POWER YOUR WISE AND CALM SELF

July 6 - Your brain is over stimulated daily. You’ve given yourself ADD due to the amount of multi-tasking and info processing you do in a day. No wonder you feel overwhelmed and exhausted, your brain is on overdrive. Alice Walker says “The wisdom is in the pause.” Think of how much wisdom you are leaving on the table by not pausing! With no space, you work harder, not smarter. In this session you will learn:

Top causes of overwhelm and mind chatter and easy solutions to stop both.
How to tune your mind to your BFF (your FSP of Intuition), and turn off the rest.
How to open up your inner channel to deeper, wiser sources of information (the Feminine Super Power of Pause.)
Why every woman needs a daily practice, and how to create one that doesn’t require you sit on a cushion for an hour a day.

DAY 21: TAKING CARE OF YOU ISN’T ABOUT TIME

July 13 - You want to take care of yourself, you just never seem to have the time. That's the trap. There will never be time for you, unless you create it, and your mind has been programmed to do everything else before it takes care of you. You and your brain need reprogramming. You also need to learn to tap into power sources other than YOU to get your life done. In this session you will learn and hear:

The bad habits and faulty beliefs that keep you trapped in the “not enough time for me” reality.
The signals your body gives you before you experience complete meltdown (including why your belly fat and insomnia could be more related to your adrenals than your exercise).
Real stories from super women who fell because they didn’t listen to the signs, what they learned and now teach other women so they can receive and achieve.
How to tap into bigger more powerful sources of energy to power your life for you

DAY 28: BUILD YOUR INNER PEACE MUSCLES

July 20 - No one likes to let go of control, but when you realize how much easier life is when you surrender control, you wonder why you fought so hard to keep it. The time to give up control isn’t during the chaos, the key is to build muscles that won’t sweat the small (or big) stuff before the stuff hits the fan. In this session you're going to pump up your Feminine Super Powers to learn:

The most common things we sweat as women, and how to sweating it.
To build trust, faith and surrender muscles.
Why you try so hard to control the world, and the reasons why you don’t have to.
A mantra with the power to save your life through all stuff, even the big stuff.

DAY 35: STOP THE BIG FAT LIES. START YOUR INNER WISDOM

July 27 - Whether we want to admit it or not, one of the biggest enemies we have lives inside of our heads. Some people call it the inner critic, but we know that she is much more like an Inner Mean Girl. This voice has the ability to do more damage to your ability to receive happiness, peace, and love than almost any force on the planet. On this super-powered session, we will be joined by Amy Ahlers, The Wake Up Call Coach, and you will leave knowing:

The 5 biggest lies that women tell themselves, and what the truth really is.
Why self-esteem alone is not enough, and why self-love is.
A 3-step process that can take you from overwhelm to calm in 3 minutes.

40-DAY SUMMER OF SELF LOVE CELEBRATION

August 3 - Special guests, special bonuses and special surprises. We super woman don’t always take time to celebrate our accomplishments but on this day, we will! And we will celebrate BIG! But we aren’t going to give away all the special surprises now… you’ll have to wait til day 40 (technically day 42), but it will be worth it!

I Got My Life Back.
"Christine told me to do some crazy stuff like “let go” and “get curious” and quit “doing” to focus on “being”. She promised me that things could shift quickly for me and I thought she was nuts. But things did shift quickly and within a few short months I had my career back and my life back. I know a level of peace and happiness that did not exist B.C. (before Christine).”
– Talie, 42, management consultant

"You can't depend on external circumstances for lasting happiness.
It has to come from inside you. Based on scientific research and the experiences of truly happy people, Marci Shimoff shows you step-by-step how to raise your happiness set-point.”

– Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of the Dr. Oz Show

AND... YOU ALSO GET THESE SPECIAL BONUS SESSIONS:
SUPER WOMEN TELL ALL
YOU WON'T GET THIS ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA

In addition to all the tremendous wisdom we will share with you in our weekly LIVE calls, we couldn't do this Summer of Self Love series without giving you access to additional information we believe is vital for every 21st century woman to know. You won’t likely hear about these things on national TV or read about them in the magazine you buy at the newsstand. Which is exactly why we are sharing them with you, super woman to super woman.

In these 90 minute calls, Christine will lead conversations that will open your eyes and minds, and give you the chance to ask questions of these remarkable women, as well discuss the topics after the call in smaller groups.

Bring your tea or coffee, pull up a chair in the virtual Self-Love Café, and let’s share some woman-to-woman wisdom!

BONUS 1
The Self-Empowered, Independent Woman Archetype
A conversation with Jean Shinola Boden, M.D.

June 23 - Jean Shinoda Bolen, M. D, is a psychiatrist, Jungian analyst, and an internationally known author and speaker who draws from spiritual, feminist, Jungian, medical and personal wellsprings of experience. She is the author of over 10 books, including The Tao of Psychology, Goddesses in Everywoman, and The Millionth Circle. She is also a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. In this conversation with Jean you’ll get in-the-know about:

What's underneath the continuous drive we self-empowered, independent women possess?
Who is Artemis and why is she a must for you to know about? And what does she have to do with Wonder Woman, and the pressure we all feel to do, be and have it all.
What are Archetypes, and how you can use them to tap into enduring sources of power.

BONUS 2
The Herstory of the History: Feminine & Masculine Powers
A conversation with Lucia Rene’ author of Unplugging the Patriarchy

July 10 - Most of us did not get the full scoop in history class on feminine power (although we did get the sanitized version on manpower), and unless we took it upon ourselves to start digging deeper, like Lucia Rene’ did, there’s a lot we don’t know. And there’s a lot we need to know about how power has been built and divided in our society, or we can’t really play our most powerful game. Tune in to what Lucia says about:

The 7 bases of power that run through society and your connection to each
How feminine & masculine power shifted over thousands of years, it's affect on you
What power runs you, and what sources you may want to unplug / plug into

Lucia René has been a professional actress, a computer science consultant, and a teacher of self-discovery. She was ordained as a Buddhist monk and has lectured on meditation and mysticism at universities throughout the United States. Lucia’s exploration of consciousness has spanned nearly 40 years, and today she teaches Women Standing in Their Power events across the world.

BONUS 3
How Money Really Works
A conversation with Karen Russo, MBA & Ordained Minister, Money Keys author

July 24 - “No matter how much money I make it, it never seems like enough.” “Seriously, if I just put a picture of a car, house or man on a board and stare at it everyday, the Law of Attraction it will appear in my life… hmmm, doubtful!” If these thoughts have ever crossed your mind, or if you don’t know what vibration, energy, currency, flow and the Law of Creation have to do with you, be on this call and take back the power of money for yourself. Learn:

How money really works, and what your ability to receive has to do with your finances.
The common superstitions and misconceptions about money and how to shift them.
How to own the power of your own financial security, regardless of where your paycheck comes from.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a good idea to put Tuesday evening at 5:00 PM Pacific / 8:00 PM EST on your calendar between June 22nd and August 3rd so you can attend every call.

What if I start and I can't finish the 40-days?
As a paid registrant to the Summer of Self Love Retreat, you'll have 24/7 lifetime access to your Self Love Café Retreat area, so you can repeat the 40 days as many times as you want on your own, and it’s all included in your one time retreat payment.

This retreat goes wherever you go! You can participate from anywhere in the world, as long as you can access your email. And even if you can't, because you will always have access, you can always tap in when you plug back into the grid. Or you can download the live calls and listen to them on the plane (Or the beach.)
What if I have a busy summer schedule?
Then you'll definitely want to sign up. This retreat will help you develop new habits and muscles that only get stronger with practice. The 40-days have been built to fit into your life, not to become another to do. What if this summer, your busy schedule created a happiness, peace and self-love that lasted the rest of the year (after the summer fun ends?)

A Note From Your Summer of Self-Love Retreat Leaders:

What we will share with you over the first 40-days of the Summer of Self Love, we’ve lived.

We have been and are 21st century super women.

We’ve gotten the college degrees, worked the 15+ hour days, chased the carrot of being happy when ‘XX’ happens, and tried to control our emotions and the world around us.

And while we have achieved big life and career milestones, we’ve also exhausted ourselves in the process. And often come to places when we didn't feel so happy or at peace… or in the mood to love anyone, including ourselves.

We’ve each come face to face with the end of our ropes, only to find that the make-it-happen, can-do-it-all place we’d come to trust and rely on wasn’t strong enough on it’s own to pull us out.

It was only when we discovered a deeper reservoir inside of us -- one that the women in our lives never told us about because they didn’t know either -- that we were able to create and sustain lives full of tremendous amounts of love, happiness and peace. It is from this reservoir that we will share with you this summer.

With big heart – Christine, Marci & Kris
