    Women: Stepping into our Power and Purpose
    Feb 4 2025
    Vanessa Cornell is a teacher and masterful space holder who convenes women through her groups, courses, and retreats to unlock their power and purpose. Vanessa graduated from Harvard and went on to work at Goldman Sachs. She then dedicated ten years to growing, birthing and raising her five children. After a lifetime of overachieving and overgiving, Vanessa felt deeply disconnected from herself and experienced a breaking apart of everything she had known. Since her personal awakening, discovering her true self, Vanessa has dedicated herself to giving women the tools and confidence to step into their power and lead lives of joy and purpose. In 2017 she founded NUSHU, a women’s community grounded in wellness and empowerment that hosts retreats around the world. Vanessa’s three loves in life are herself, her work, and her family. About NUSHU: NUSHU offers immersive, heart-centered retreats designed to foster deep connection, personal growth, and self-discovery through safe, supportive environments.

Get this exclusive, podcast-only offer now! Dr. Sylvia Kalicinski is a Ph.D. level therapist and writer who loves teaching simple strategies backed by brain science and mindfulness. She simplifies brain health, therapy, and coaching while adding a dash of spirituality to help people better understand themselves. Her techniques, such as the B.O.D.Y. skill helps clients better manage stress and live a more fulfilling and confident life. Dr. Sylvia has worked with all kinds of people from celebrities to your next-door neighbor...women, men, and teens who’ve felt anxious, lonely, and stuck. Dr. Sylvia wants to show her client’s what’s truly possible so that they can move past self-limiting beliefs and step towards the direction of healing, purpose, and confidence. Sylvia’s experience as a therapist and former lead behavioral health clinician at Mount Sinai Hospital strengthens her ability to connect with people and empathically listen to their narratives. As a child of immigrant parents who experienced their own mental health issues, Dr. Sylvia understands the uniqueness of each family’s story and the adversities that so many of us face while living in America. Even though loneliness is a personal topic - it’s widely universal. The moment Dr. Sylvia committed to writing a book about loneliness, she immediately looked like the blonde facepalm emoji. Why would she want to write about her biggest pain point? Dr. Sylvia admits that she spent the majority of her life feeling Lonely AF. However, her book is not about going backwards or staying stuck in the problem. Lonely AF sits at the solution end of loneliness where Dr. Sylvia blends her working knowledge of the complexity of loneliness with her personal lived experiences. Because what is personal is most often universal. Dr. Sylvia’s warm, inviting, and transparent approach, turns complex human issues into a conversation that we all need to be having right now. She saves your seat at the table- and makes sure that you feel welcomed. What is most personal, can start to feel universal when Dr. Sylvia starts to draw out connections in her audience, reader, and clients. Dr. Sylvia shows people what’s possible so they can live a better life. Dr. Sylvia is Host of The Dr. Sylvia K Show podcast and is in the process of doing her last revise on her book Lonely AF. Sylvia holds a B.S. in Radio Television and Film from The University of Texas at Austin, a M.A. in Counseling Psychology from PacificaGraduate Institute, and a Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University.
