Voices of the 21st Century by Gail Watson is a book that tells the most intimate and traumatic experiences of forty brave women. This book is part of the Women Speakers Association which has the goal to provide a platform for women to get seen and share their stories to collaborate together to make a difference. Their vision is of a world in which women are free to express themselves; To build a thriving business and a world in which they take ownership of leadership to inspire and transform the lives of their clients, their companies, their communities, and the world.

Creativity and your unique artistic expression gives you a voice. Since 2011, the author has spoken to thousands of women from around the world, reaching into 120 countries.

Each conversation will inspire, move, and humble you. The stories tell of how they served-women of different cultures, countries, ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds speaking their truth, person to person.

A common thread is woven through all their tales: a desire to. unite with others to accelerate their impact to make a bigger difference. It takes a great deal of courage to share, to be vulnerable, and to speak out, but together they can do it....to create and establish a world filled with more love, more acceptance, more equality.

It is for us to re-evaluate our position and change our lives on levels to fulfill our potential and create our world and the best version of ourselves. These women are role models for empowerment, fighting negativity. Most members are life coaches. We have a massage therapist for both humans and horses, a registered yoga teacher, and personal trainer.

Some way or other we understand to unload emotional baggage, silence the tiny voice that said: "I wasn't enough, wasn't worthy, wasn't wanted." You must fail at what you thought you needed to be. You must fail over and over. From this you will learn, experience, rise above limitations and grow into the peace and resilience you must cultivate to succeed.

Let your mind shift, awakening you to a new world of possibilities. There are greater opportunities awaiting each of us with the prerequisite of pushing past perceived limitations, doubt, fear, and poor self-talk in order to destroy the self-defeating thoughts and extreme external obstacles. While this demonstrates fearless ability to take risks, try new things, and navigate significant change.

This book samples guidance, support, and a clear direction even for the younger generation to help them identify their values and create a life and career that aligns with the person they are now and their future self, who they want to become."
