?? Big News from Inner Mountain Foundation! ?? We’re excited to share that The Inner Mountain by Diane Wang has received a glowing review from Kirkus Reviews! ??? Praised for being "highly cognizant of the obstacles that women face as entrepreneurs," Diane’s book encourages a focus on what we can control. As she puts it, “If all you ask is why someone did something to you, you won’t learn anything. If you ask what you can take from this experience, you’ll learn and grow.” With reflective questions at the end of each chapter, Kirkus notes that The Inner Mountain “will lend itself well to reading and discussing with a group.” We’re thrilled to see such a thoughtful reception of the book’s message! In the future, we look forward to connecting in our Circle community over The Inner Mountain and exploring these themes together. Grab your copy, and stay tuned!

“?????????? ?????????????????? ?????????? ?? ??????????.” - ???????????? ????????????????, ?????????????? ???? ?????????????????? ?????????? Think of a trademark as preventative care or an insurance policy for your business. When life tries to attack, you want your IP (Intellectual Property) to be protected! That’s why we invited an IP lawyer (and inspirational business woman) to tell us more. In this episode of "The Climb", hosted by Natasha Walstra and founded by Diane Wang, you'll learn from Lauren Bercuson, an IP Lawyer and Founder of Storylock Legal. Lauren's sharing the must-know basics of trademarking, plus the key lessons she’s learned along her entrepreneurial journey. Lauren’s story goes much deeper than just becoming a trademark attorney. While her infant son was recovering from a stroke, Lauren started blogging about children’s books (HappilyEverElephants.com) and even became her son’s school librarian. Then, while seeing other moms killing it in business, but not protecting their assets, Lauren’s inner lawyer came out to shine once again. With her son healed and thriving, she made the decision to transition back into IP law, create Storylock Legal, and start helping other women founders protect their businesses. Today, you’ll hear how Lauren overcame perfectionism while growing two businesses, why networking is so crucial for her success, and why trademarking is essential for any business or idea. Remember, “???????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ??????????????.” ?? ?????????????????? ????’???? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ??????????????: ??

Diane Wang and the Inner Mountain team recently visited @The Soul of Money Institute and the Pachamama Alliance, where they had an inspiring conversation with founder Lynne Twist and CEO Sara Vetter. The synergy was palpable as they explored shared visions and missions. The Soul of Money, built upon Lynne’s decades of work in philanthropy and social innovation, inspires people to re-examine their relationship with money and approach life with a mindset of abundance and empowerment. The Pachamama Alliance, on the other hand, focuses on protecting the Amazon rainforest, supporting indigenous cultures, and awakening global environmental awareness and social responsibility. Lynne, as the heart and soul of these initiatives, continues to inspire change-makers worldwide with her unparalleled wisdom and vision. We are united by a shared belief that the wisdom of the universe flows like a river, accessible to all who seek it. This common purpose drives us forward—to help more people connect with their true selves, explore their inner worlds, break barriers, and live authentically. We are excited to collaborate further and bring this transformative energy to even more communities! #TheInnerMountain #SoulOfMoney #PachamamaAlliance #PersonalGrowth #Empowerment #EnvironmentalAwareness #SocialInnovation #Leadership #Collaboration #InnerStrength #GlobalCommunity

In the U.S., the Inner Mountain team had the inspiring opportunity to connect with renowned author and educator Grace Welker, whose concept of Unlearning sparked a powerful reflection within our team. Unlearning encourages us to release fixed mindsets, break through self-imposed limitations, and welcome new possibilities with openness. This approach resonates deeply with Inner Mountain’s mission—not to teach, but to create a shared, inclusive space where everyone can grow together. We are inspired and hope to kindle even more sparks as we journey forward together! At Inner Mountain, we believe in fostering a journey of self-exploration, empowering each individual to discover their inner strength and, alongside others, climb their own ‘Inner Mountain.’ Join us in rethinking growth and finding new ways to connect and thrive. ??

On a transformative journey, Diane Wang and the Inner Mountain team recently visited Carla Goldstein and the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in New York—a globally respected hub for inner growth, women’s empowerment, and environmental sustainability. During their visit, they received a special invitation from @Manuela Roosevelt, to explore the historic home of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. As the first chair of the UN Human Rights Commission, Eleanor Roosevelt championed the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, shaping a legacy of courage and compassion. Walking through her home, the team was moved by her unwavering dedication to peace and equality—a spirit that aligns powerfully with IMF's mission. Inspired by this experience, Inner Mountain Foundation is more committed than ever to building a global community that uplifts and empowers women, championing a future rooted in inclusivity and sustainability. Stay tuned as we continue this journey, bringing impactful growth opportunities and support to women around the world. Together, we’re scaling our own ‘Inner Mountains’ for a brighter, more connected tomorrow. #TheInnerMountain #WomensEmpowerment #PersonalGrowth #GlobalCommunity #LeadershipLegacy #HumanRights #Inspiration #SustainableFuture #IMFCommunity #WomenSupportingWomen #InnerStrength #EleanorRoosevelt #InclusiveGrowth
