Lissa Rankin, MD Speaker's Home Base: CA Lissa Rankin refuses to be put in any one box, and in that simple fact, she attracts readers, patients, healers, collectors, and admirers around the world. Her message and her example are redefining what it means to be healthy, vibrant and alive as a woman in the Twenty-first Century. As a practicing gynecologist, a nationally represented professional artist, teacher, mother and author of the new book, “What’s Up Down There? Questions You’d Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend,” (St. Martin’s Press, September 2010, with foreword by Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of “Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom”), Lissa Rankin started a simple blog in 2009 to document her personal quest to integrate all the fragmented facets of her being. OwningPink.com immediately caught fire with readers from all walks of life who were seeking their authentic selves and saw in Lissa a growing soul and kindred spirit. Owning Pink has grown strongly and steadily in its first year - hosting more than 40 authors and coaches, supporting a national tour, opening an integrative wellness center, producing a stunning art exhibit, and spawning a community of over 63,000 social media followers and over 260,000 readers. “I once thought I had to put myself in a box and choose who to be. But I now accept that, while I am so many things, no single identity defines me,” she says. “I am more than what I do. We all struggle with who we really are and whether our lives reflect our truest selves. I now strive to be authentic, in all aspects of my life, whether I’m healing or painting or writing or teaching, and I encourage others to do the same.” Speaking up and out is exactly what Lissa does in, “What’s Up Down There?” This book answers the questions of real women with compassion, candor, and a sprinkle of gynecologist humor. Although she is an academically trained doctor, she takes off her white coat, climbs down from the ivory tower, and stands side by side with women, down in the trenches (no pun intended!). By answering their questions as a friend might, she invites women to relax into an honest discussion about who they are as women and what makes their bodies tick. “What’s Up Down There?” aims to demystify the female body and all its quirky, eccentric intricacies, while empowering women to learn about their bodies and celebrate the curious oddities that make us women. In this age of managed care, most women get no more than ten minutes with their physicians, and a rushed doctor’s visit leaves them feeling uncomfortable bringing up sensitive topics. Consequently, too few women truly understand the inner-workings of their own bodies, which leads to anxiety, shame, fear, guilt, and the perpetuation of misinformation. Lissa’s goal is to get people talking about vaginas, openly, honestly, and with love and acceptance for our beautiful girly parts. In her public speaking events, Lissa integrates her signature message and voice of authenticity, love, and empowerment with her wide-ranging experience as a physician, artist, author, entrepreneur, social media success, and Mommy with mojo. Her areas of expertise run the gamut of motivational speaking -- empowering women, redefining health, unlocking creativity in art and writing, mastering social media, bringing heart to business, and keeping your mojo while parenting. Regardless of what she’s talking about, she’s still ALL LISSA, ALL THE TIME. You won’t see her standing on a pedestal talking down to people. Instead, she engages her audience exactly where they are, calling upon her own personal stories and inviting authentic interaction, even when delivered from a podium in a large conference hall. Lissa’s speaking engagements can be delivered as a one hour lecture or as a half day or full day workshop. Owning Pink helped Lissa get her mojo back, and she now dedicates her life to helping others do the same by owning all of the facets of what makes you whole.
