WE Summit Together 2020 - empowering stories by empowered women

FOLLOWING on from last year’s five-star-rated number one Times and Amazon bestseller, WE Summit Together, WE Summit Together 2020 is set to be just as impactful.

Led by bestselling author Westport woman, Donna Kennedy, it will be released on Amazon on March 19. However, books can be ordered in advance at www.wesummit.ie/book - all money from orders placed before March 19 goes the national children’s cancer charity, Aoibheann’s Pink Tie. The book costs €12.50 plus postage.

In the last 20 years we have seen cases of stress and life challenge skyrocket, ripping families apart, breaking down relationships, creating psychological and health challenges, even suicide. There is a desperate need for change.

Today we live in a world of social media, filters and comparisons. We have lost real-life connection with people and we are now seeing the consequences of it. It has almost become a norm to base our happiness and success on a distorted view of other people’s lives.

We need to help people understand that everyone has struggles, often behind closed doors, but with the right approach any challenge can be dealt with and overcome, no matter how bad or difficult. We need to open the conversation, so people feel they don’t have to hide parts of their lives or escape.

The book contains real-life stories of challenge and triumph. It is written by women, although all the content applies to men too, who bravely share their stories and strategies for overcoming challenge and getting a meaningful happy life. It is, in a way, a no-nonsense guide for life.

It is written by people of varying ages from various cultures, and several life experiences are covered, including self-esteem and confidence issues, depression, domestic violence, sexual abuse, addiction, relationship breakdown, living with autism, teenage pregnancy, business difficulties, career change and more.

There are exercises throughout the book to assist the reader into positive results, even as they read. This truly is a powerful read with a fantastic message.

We need to help each other up, not beat each other down. By combining our strengths and resources nobody has to suffer. Everyone deserves a life they can be proud of. It’s up to us to make sure it happens, especially for upcoming generations.
