“We were thrilled to have Marsha Ralls join us as a facilitator for Dr. Joe Dispenza's NeuroChangeSolutions (NCS) program. As a long-time, experienced student of Dr. Joe, Marsha's knowledge of the material combined with her passion for the work and accessible and engaging personality ensured a positive and transformative experience for our entire group. I know that Marsha will continue to help both future students and NCS flourish well into the future. We would welcome the opportunity to see Marsha and learn from her again.

As the founder of a femtech startup dedicated to supporting women through their perimenopause and menopause journey, I'm thrilled to share that in recent times, we've seen a surge in awareness, research, and action around this subject including groundbreaking studies and discussions in leading medical journals. It's clear that understanding and addressing the unique challenges women face during this phase is now more important than ever. At Miror, we're committed to - Normalizing the conversation around this subject and breaking whatever taboo around hence we always encourage women to join our WhatsApp community which is India's largest. - Ensuring technology is used to scale up solutions to address this cause. Here we encourage women to download our app, which not only enhances engagement through gaming, but also connects women to labs for testing and leading specialists in this field for receiving solutions that enhance the quality of life experiencing these transitions and eventually giving personalized wellness programs to innovative symptom management tools. - Finally, we are so proud of our medically backed nutraceutical supplement and encourage women to experience “Revive which addresses over 6 needed critical issues from anti-ageing to anti-inflammatory to better heart, brain, and gut health besides giving a boost to energy levels I invite you to join us on this journey of innovation and empowerment. Share your thoughts, experiences, and ideas in the comments below. Together, we can make a real difference in women's health and well-being. #femtech #perimenopause #menopause #womeninhealthtech #innovation #empowerment

Everyday givers play a critical role in tackling society's biggest challenges. 💪 Grantmakers should embrace them as partners and champion everyday generosity. 🤝 That's the message from Andrew Dunckelman of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in his new column in The Chronicle of Philanthropy. He also shares 5 areas where funders can invest to build generosity at scale, create opportunities for nonprofits to grow their impact, and embrace everyday givers as allies in addressing global challenges from eradicating disease to economic mobility. 🔥 1️⃣ of his 5️⃣ opportunity areas is: Support digital tools and technologies that enable giving. 🤩 "Digital technologies have revolutionized the way we give — and it’s likely just the beginning. Philanthropy can support the growth of these tools to reduce fundraising friction. Digital giving-circle provider Grapevine.org, for instance, connects donors with shared interests to pool their donations, enhancing fundraising efficiency and contributing to the fast-growing giving-circle movement. " 🍇 Thank you Andrew for highlighting our work, and for sharing your insights and experiences from both sides of the philanthropic equation, as a fundraiser and a grantmaker. 🙏 I hope this actionable advice for funders who want to reverse a downward trend in everyday giving will be seen and followed, so we can see a resurgence! 📈 Check out the whole article at the link in the comments 👇 #Philanthropy #GivingCircles #GrapevineGiving #TechforGood

"Many times, stewards start groups or create platforms to develop more connection to their own community. Counter-intuitively, despite seeking connection, we learned that stewards often find themselves “outside” of the community they’ve built. Support can be hard to find. . . For our digital community infrastructure to be sustainable, community stewards need love too . . . Listening to the wisdom of the people who are getting their hands dirty, building and caring for a community every day, has grounded our organization [New_Public] more deeply in the necessity of socio-technical design — designing technology informed by human knowledge and practices in addition to technical considerations." https://lnkd.in/eE5mqJDf?
