As a health and fitness blogger, I like to show a little love to others doing awesome things in the DC wellness space. Two weeks ago, All In PR hosted its Annual Bends, Brunch and Bubbly in DC. This yoga-meets-brunch charity event, which raised money to benefit Blue Flowers Org, featured an all-star female panel, including:
- Bershan Shaw, Life Coach & OWN TV personality Love in the City
- Kristi Colavito, Epic Yoga Event Manager
- Deanna Bobbi, Lifestyle Blogger & Creator of The Pretty Girls Guide
- Vanette Tolbert and Carly Martin, Co-Founders of First Ladies of Fitness
- Suzanne Fortnum, Clinical Therapist at Dominion Hospital
- Liz Hahn, Director Operations at Sid Yoga
When asked about finding the balance between life and work panelist Liz Hahn responded, “It’s about finding and creating a support system.” The panel honed in on the importance of women supporting each other, which as a female business owner whose business partner is also a powerful female I fully agree is essential and also uplifting!
After a relaxing morning asana practice, guests were invited to indulge in a buffet spread provided by Madhatters. The mimosas were bottomless and so was the abundance of love and communal good will.
Another word on the wonderful organization this event raised funds for,Blue Flowers Org. Blue Flowers Org empowers women and the men in their lives as they fight against prostate cancer holistically. The organization provides resources of leaders providing medical, social and emotional approach for men, their families and caregivers. Through community events, fundraising, social media and its newsletter, Blue Flowers connects men to opportunities for early diagnosis and insight from medical experts to treat the mind, body and spirit.
