Win a Ticket to the Boston WELL Summit (+ Discount Code)

I’ve wanted to attend the WELL Summit for a couple years now, but it’s always fallen on a weekend when I’m out of town. This year I’m finally getting the chance to go and I can’t wait. Best part? I get to give one of you a free ticket to the event as well! (Don’t worry, I have a discount code for everyone who doesn’t win at the bottom of this post.)

With this unique career path in health and wellness I’ve chosen, I don’t have coworkers in the traditional sense. I’ve always valued and needed alone time and love solo projects, so in some ways that’s what drew me to blogging in the first place. I’ve found over the years, however, that connection to other people in both the blogging and wellness areas is vital to keeping the spark and passion alive. When I get to talk with like-minded people who face similar career challenges and are invested in the same topics I’m passionate about, it’s like that first warm spring day after a brutal New England winter—it’s rejuvenating! I forget that blogging can be pretty isolating if you don’t actively seek out opportunities to connect with people in real life.

So needless to say, I’m pretty excited about attending the Well Summit on April 21st. It’ll be a great event not just for fellow bloggers/influencers, but all health enthusiasts or anyone who has a wellness business or is wanting to get into the field in some capacity. The WELL Summit looks at wellness from a holistic standpoint—it’s about fitness and nutrition but also your relationships, your mental health and being mindful. It’s about taking care of the environment as a whole and your personal environment. It’s 360° Wellness.

I’m going to share a little snapshot of what to expect from the day, and if you’re looking for more details, head on over to their website.

The day is jam-packed with all things wellness. It starts with (optional) yoga and a sound meditation. From there, panels of speakers will tackle:

• Everyday products, their ingredients and how they impact our health
• Demystifying trends in healthy eating
• Turning it off when you’re always on (<— I’ll be paying *extra* close attention during this one)

The keynote speaker, Agapi Stassinopoulos, will then talk about connecting with what brings you joy and aliveness. Afternoon panels cover the topics:

• Creating success on *your* terms
• The business of wellness and monetizing social media (definitely attending this one!)
• Dropping the labels and healthy food for your mental health (really excited for this one as well!)
• Redefining self-care
• The business of wellness: female founders discuss funding and growing your wellness business (yet another one I’m pumped to attend)

During the afternoon panels, there are also sessions on sacred beauty, a women’s circle and meditation. The day ends with a networking party.
