Welcome to Day 2 of the Raising Nourished Girls Interview Series!
My vision for this interview series was to connect with inspiring "world changer" women experts and thought leaders from all over the globe.
By creating a space where we can learn how to better support, empower and nourish our pre-teen/teen girls ( and YOU MOMS) I believe that anything is possible!
In these educational, empowering and connective interviews below we discuss our girls "everything changing" as it relates to their overall health, puberty, confidence, emotional wellness and joy.
Don't forget to join the (optional) private facebook group for moms where we'll continue the conversation!
Our first interview today is with Dr. Rachel Dew.
Dr. Rachel has been a clinical practitioner in the integrative and holistic health field since 1994. She is an international speaker, author, and leader in integrative wellness and the co-founder of ModiHealth. Dr. Rachel has supported hundreds of patients through her private practice over the years, and thousands more through her books and conference appearances.
Dr. Rachel is a double board certified Doctor of Natural and Integrative Medicine who is additionally certified in over 20 healing modalities that support her integrative approach to health and wellness. Dr. Rachel specializes in treating the whole person; mind, body, heart & spirit in order to help her patients achieve optimal health and well-being.
Dr. Rachel treats all types of conditions and illnesses as well as offers preventative care. Her approach helps her patients achieve optimal health & well-being. Dr. Rachel continues treating patients in a wide range of illnesses and issues. She believes that your current health issues, your genetics and your past history as well as experiences do not define your future. You can be empowered to live the life you desire. Bringing powerful tools to help people become empowered to transform their lives at conferences, retreats, and seminars throughout the country has been an incredible part of her journey as a change leader.

Our third interview today is with Karen Sugar.

Short Bio:
Karen Sugar is the Founder and Director of Women’s Global Empowerment Fund. Currently based in Denver and Los Angeles, Sugar and her mission extend internationally, providing tools and programs creating economic, social and political empowerment to women, girls and families. The mission of WGEF stems from a life-long commitment to human rights and social justice. Sugar’s guiding belief is that women are natural leaders and must have a seat at the policy table, political and social agency. She is also an adjunct Professor at the University of Colorado, teaching gender studies and human rights.
Sugar’s work has been recognized as unique and valuable, receiving global leadership awards, sharing her experiences to audiences around the globe.
Before founding WGEF, Sugar worked with homeless women and children in Atlanta, Georgia and was a community organizer for reproductive rights in Denver, Colorado. She is also the mom to two amazing young women.
Sugar has dedicated her life to solving issues around social justice; strongly emphasizing her dedication to equality and human rights. Sugar argues that if the goal is true empowerment, we must go further and suggest that all human beings experience equal and full access, and not one gender over another.
“Empowerment must include equality and liberties for all; only when all people are imbued with dignity, justice and human rights can we say that we are empowered.”
