I am beyond thrilled to announce that the award-winning health media company for women, EmpowHER, is my sponsor for BlogHer 2011 in San Diego next month! I really feel so lucky to have such a great women-centered company backing me up and working to change the lives of millions and millions of women worldwide. [Will you be at BlogHer ‘ll? Keep reading to learn how YOU can be featured on EmpowHER.)
EmpowHER provides visitors access to one of the largest women’s health and wellness content libraries on the web. They also have the largest online community of women discussing their health and wellness issues. One of the coolest things on this site is that EmpowHER promotes a “24 Hour Promise” to its visitors. Anyone can come to the site, ask any health question and receive a response within 24 hours. How great is that?!?
While I am in San Diego, I will spend time talking on camera to women who have a health-related story to share. The best of those stories, along with the bloggers who tell them, will be featured on EmpowHER.com. If you’ll be there and want to be interviewed on camera, leave a message here with your contact information (blog, email, twitter ID) and we’ll try to set something up. I will be running the BlogHer 5K (yikes!) and I hope to connect with other health-minded bloggers.
In addition to the on-camera work I’ll be doing for EmpowHER, I also get to attend the amazing (yet non-official) invite-only event EmpowHER will be hosting in San Diego. They are looking for some influential Mom and health-related bloggers to attend so again, leave a comment here and/or hit me on twitter (@mariarsmith) if you want a chance to come. I can’t release the details just yet but it will be a time to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful city of San Diego.
I can’t wait to share all that I will learn and do with you!
Awesome! I tweeted you before. I am @redheadedjen and will be walking the 5k
Hi, very interested in EMPOWerHer. I am Mary @Recessionista on Twitter. I’ve been working hard on diet and health in 2011 as I suffer from chronic arthritis, and have to really look after it to stay healthy and pain free. My blog is The Recessionista Blog on Fashion.
Hi, Maria! This sounds fabulous and I’d love to learn more and meet you at BlogHer! My site is MomRN.com and I also host an online talk show, Ask MomRN Show, and both talk about health and wellness issues, as well as parenting and family issues.
I’m an R.N. whose nursing career has been on indefinite hiatus as I raise my kids and work on my passion of helping parents as “MomRN”.
I’m willing to do an on-camera interview and would love to find out more about the private event EmpowHER is hosting.
You can find me on Twitter as @MomRN and my email is MomRN @ MomRN dot com (leave out the spaces of course). My website is http://www.MomRN.com. Thanks!
I am interested. I am @StacieinAtlanta on Twitter.
I’d love to share my story! 😉 @ColoradoMom on twitter.

What kind of health stories are you looking for? I’m a kidney transplant recipient and my son is/was a 28 week preemie, so I’ve got lots! LOL

Hello Maria! I’d love to talk with you about having quadruplets at 26 weeks, or about early menopause after a radical hysterectomy.

Hi Maria, I’d love to speak with you as well! I’m a mom of 2 who has lost over 80 pounds and I’m getting very close to my goal weight. Much of that weight loss has happened while blogging my progress with the support of my community. I’m also an RN and my oldest daughter has autism.
You can find me on Twitter at @mommystory or at my blogs: http://www.amommystory.com and http://www.losingmyhind.com.
Talking about thriving gluten free from research to recipes is my life, I hope to be able to talk with you. I’m walking the 5k too.

Hi Maria! I realized I never left you a comment here! I have been working on a campaign on my blog called Reclaiming Me since January and last week did a meme called Things I like about Me–and today I bought a new domain for a new site called Just.Be.Enough. Would love to be invovled as I think this is a great fit!
Hi Maria, I’d be pleased to speak with you at BlogHer 2011. The EmpowHer party would be extra-nice.
I’m a Canadian who participates in a group blog about losing weight and being fit. I reached my goal weight (22 pounds lost) and am now working on the being fit part. I started running last year and ran 5k, 10k races and then completed my first half-marathon in May. I think the half will be my distance for a while. I have the usual muscle challenges with running but otherwise need to stay healthy, rather than getting that way (but don’t ask about the shape of my abdomen).
You can find me at @OttMomGo and http://losingitinottawa.wordpress.com/category/barbara/ and elsewhere on the Web, talking about life with my amazing daughter (http://blog.reidelizabeth.ca)
