Weekend event to focus on empowering women

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Tuesday is the last day to buy tickets for an event this weekend focused on empowering women.

WISH-TV is teaming up with IU Health and celebrity chef Elizabeth Falkner to “Ignite Your Mind, Body and Spirit.”

Runner-up for the Food Network’s “Next Iron Chef,” Elizabeth Falkner will be the keynote speaker. She says she’ll touch on everything form work ethic, performing well in a male-dominated industry, and staying healthy.

“People used to say to me a long time ago when I was “just a pastry chef,” I mean, that’s what they used to think. ‘How could you trust a skinny chef?’ And I’m like, ‘well, you should,” she said.

The wellness event is from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Sheraton North. Tickets are $50. That includes a breakfast and lunch. Falkner says she’ll also provide some special treats. Motivational speaker Sam Glenn will also make an appearance and 24-Hour News 8’s Kylie Conway will be serving as master of ceremonies.
